Common Cold & its cure


Here are the symptoms of the common cold:
* Runny nose
* Nasal Congestion
* Sneezing

This entry starts out like some medical journal. I am telling you all this because I am suffering from all of them, to a certain degree. Actually, I have been suffering from cold for the past few days. There is an adage "Feed the fever, starve the cold". However, I am having bouts of fever too.. so do I hog on food, or do I starve myself? Modifying Shakespeare a bit, "To eat or not to eat, that is the question".

The assignment on Perl is killing me. Every time I come up with a solution, Gurmeet or Sids keep plugging holes into my algorithm. I have already re-coded it twice. But today was wonderful. I have managed to sleep nearly 13 hours in a single day. A normal person needs around 6-8 hours of sleep.. so does this make me doubly normal?? [lol].

I have managed to waste one more day of my life doing nothing. Isn't that amazing? There are so many people who waste time without realizing it. Atleast I realize that I am wasting time. Any way, after dinner, I was playing frisbee with the guys in the grass. Some how, I didn't feel like going back to the room. I have already deviated a lot from the actual topic of the blog.. my common cold.

There is this quote that I found in Erich Segal's Doctors where the dean comments that he hopes that he can turn out some good doctors, cure some diseases and maybe, even find a cure for the common cold.
