A Cold Affair

I saw him chit chatting with my roomie and sister. I was avoiding him from quite a time now. Next day I saw him with my colleagues. Day by day it was getting difficult for me to avoid him any further and finally, I fall for him.
Aaaaccchhhhoooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmm, I fall for common cold, commonly known as viral fever. You can easily sense that it is coming simply by your red running nose, watery eyes, itchiness in throat and feverish sensations. But that’s not the only thing that troubles you. The trouble to wade this trouble away is more troublesome ;).

1.Garrrrr garrrrrr gargle:
This is the one thing which is No. 1 on my hate list. Sadly, it is the most referred one. You have to put hot (beware of temperature) salted water into your water and start making all kind of sound(don’t get me wrong here ;)). The worst part is your roomie watching you while gargling, and when I asked (sorry I should say gestured ;)) why she is standing there she said she was just thinking how good I gargle since she don’t know gargling :p (I haven’t got such a nice complement ever I swear :( )

2.Rub Rub Vicks vaporub:
If you are not used to the menthol smell and you have cold then get used to it. As you have to apply it on your forehead, nose, throat, chest, back, feet etc. etc. . . It’s especially useful when you are still attending office in spite of being sick. Since its smell will let your boss know that you have cold.

3.Daadi ma ke nuskhe:
Don’t ever call your mother or grandmother if you do’t want to get nagged by advises which you are dreading to follow. Like, turmeric with milk(Though it looks like badam milk but surly don’t taste like that), ginger and pepper with honey(even honey can’t give it a sweet taste) etc.

4.Popping pills:
You have to go to see doctor and swallow antibiotics, anti allergic and other anti-tasting drugs.

5.Quality Time with yourself:
You can't go to office/college(ya, that's the only good part)but you can't meet your fiends also(or they wn't meet you until you get well ;)). So , ou have got quality time with your Tanhai. Enjoy maadi :( .

Now after all these remedies if it’s still there, then perhaps you have got the uncommon cold. Go and get yourself checked properly , it’s H1igh time N1ow.
