Common cold, loved ones & pinkfloyd.

There is nothing common about common cold. Apparently there are a hundred viruses that can cause it and thats precisely what makes it the world most infectious ailment. I was reading about it yesterday (after three years of relationship, corner house betrayed me by gifting me common cold wrapped in HCF jr, Cake fudge & Brownie fudge) and bumped into some interesting ways of treating cold.

I believe we have a capability to cure any disease just by thought process. For a change, its the thought that counts here. The way we feel is entirely governed by hormones (that explains the complex mind of a woman: 2 hormones drives the emotions of a man as against 8 in a woman!). Digressing a bit, man is like a digital inverter, yes or no is what he knows. Where as a woman is like a carefully biased 10-stage rail-to-rail (you know the moods swings dontchya?) opamp. You know there is something wrong but can't figure out straight away which stage screwed up!

Anyways anyways...hormones decide the mood! Agreed? Taking it further, any state of being is entirely governed by the levels of hormone at that point of time. Theoritically, it is possible to recreate the same emotional state if the hormones hit that combo again (doesn't it explain how you get nostalgic about your college crush when you flip through the albums or happen to smell her favorite perfume).

So, common cold again! Talking to loved ones (family or friends) and listening to music (the ones which you've listened & liked the most) apparently provides a relief to the jammed nose. Talking helps as it makes you feel that you are cared for, that sense of bonding jacks up the 'feel good' factor. Listening to music gets you into a nice comfortable zone. Both these are proven to rev-up your immune system and eventually beat up the cold virus out of your body. Now you can breath without hearing that low frequency beats from your nose followed by aaahh (sign :-) ).
