There are certain things that I hate in my life. One of them is catching a cold. Its 11:22 pm by my watch and my nose is going redder by the minute. I look like Rudolph-the red nosed deer. Also, the amount of papaer tissues i have used by now can be used to make a 100 page notebook. Its not the leaky nose or the lethal headaches but the whole baggage with it that I hate.

I hate stepping out of my house when with a cold. Its humiliating to exhibit in front of people what my nose looks like inside and also to what extent my body can produce sounds with varying decibels. The 'excuse mes' one says to blow nose in one corner. The common cold rips one of their dignity. There is nothing graceful about the cold and makes one sound like a living trumpet. Well, i do not wish to fall sick but when I do, I would prefer to be in a better position. I would not want to be this noisy red nosed girl someone had to share space with. And to top it all, this embarassment does not even end at home where this nose just does not let you live in peace. You lie down and the blocked nose is there again making you snore like never before. Oh God! let someone find the cure to my cold!
