The 'Nosy' Nose..


"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaachoooooooooo!!!!" n there goes my 115th tissue to the bin..infact the tissue paper making industry will reap in huge profits this week thanks to me,for I succesfully emptied 2 full boxes of tissues in 2 days.
Yep you guessed it right..I have a cold and its a nasty one which is driving me nuts!!!!Your whole world goes topsy turvy once you catch a cold..no matter what you do (read steaming,taking a wide variety of medicines etc etc) the virus that has invaded your system refuses to budge..meanwhile you are left with a dull headache,watering eyes and a nose over which you have lost control over totally,I think its the nose's way of exerting its importance coz normally one wouldnt really bother about it.I would go on to the extent of saying that its one of the most neglected part of the human body that is until it decides to show its significance very violently through a cold!
All of a sudden your whole life starts to revolve around the whims of your nose which now assumes a silly red colour thanks to all the sneezing.It feels all irritable and itchy inside which mostly manifests itself in the form of a loud sneeze..it can be disconcerting when something serious is being discussed(like today when the whole class turned to look at me when I sneezed at a very crucial point in the lecture) The worst part is when your food starts tasting like paper-mache..that's the cold's most lethal weapon!You lose your sense of taste!!The tragedy!!:(
The cold's modus operandi is simple-drive the person insane and it succeeds very beautifully as my writing on this subject is a very powerful evidence of that.
Before i get into another fit of sneezes again I shall end it..Last time I sneezed for 10 full minutes at a stretch much to the amusement of my brother who extracts a great deal of pleasure in counting the number of times I sneeze in a minute..
It wouldnt be an exagerration to say "I've been knocked out'COLD'" :(
