Aaaa-chooooo!!... *sniff sniff*

Wasn't it better when you were a kid.? Don't you miss your childhood days after you have grown up? I do too.
To be specific, I miss the times when I was a kid and used to catch a Cold. The maximum consequence would be a running nose. Which can be taken care of by blowing your nose into a kerchief and which is excusable for kids. After all noone can expect you to be all that mannered.
But once you grow up, its not you that matures ( half the human specie is an exception to this) but the Cold matures with you too and knows better how to pull you down. Yes, Ab Sardi ke sath, Khasi, Bukhar, Sar dard, Badan dard, Chakkar sab MUFT! And I haven't even mentioned the "lal-pili" tablets the Doctor gives you. What do you know, sometimes they do work, at least partly.
Besides you know what Abhay Deol and old grandmas say in Hindi "Jo hota hai, achhe ke liye hota hai", or in Bengali, in my case,"Ja kichhu hoy, shob bhalor jonnay hi hoy." Yeah Grandma, I'll give it to you for being right this time. I have a Secret Seminar to attend at the CA Institute and having such a terrible Cold was like the perfect excuse for not having to go to work. Also if your boyfriend or girlfriend, as the case maybe, dumps you at this time and you feel like crying but don't want the whole world to know what a sissy or loser you are, you could cry and still save your ass by telling people the running nose is just because of the cold and the tears, well... because of the headache or the other free benefits of having a Cold as mentioned above.
By the way that Secret Seminar is still a secret, so shhhh.... Don't tell anyone LADIES!!
