                                  It was a chill November morning and  Bangaloreans could visualize instantly how pleasant and indulgent the mornings are in the Green Heavens( That’s how I call my city dearlyly)all round the year. What else would you call a city where every road is covered with huge Green canopies and even a small thatched house has a dozen pots of exotic plants. I have successfully pulled myself out for the long planned morning walk.  I jaunted  briskly enjoying everything that is happening around me. A city is full of life after dawn with all the hustle and bustle of the people rushing to school and office, the highway traffic, the beauty of the lush growth every now and then.

                                      Suddenly I sensed that something is wrong. My nose is stuffy and eyes teary. I let out a  sudden explosion”Aachchooo….”. “Oh Noo! Not again!” I begged my nose to calm down. I pretended as if nothing has happened and tried to fool it. But my nasal system  was more unrelenting  and I started sneezing violently again and again with my eyes turning red and teary. My Nasalblastcount  woulde not be less than 20 and even shoots up to 40 at times  scaring my neighbours and those poor creatures who are nearby. It was resolute to spoil my beautiful morning walk.

                                             Im at a loss to understand what triggers that crazy immune reaction called allergy – Natures blunder in designing our nasal protection system. I don’t get allergy during every walk or day. Allergies are our body’s mistaken hyperactive and overactive response to harmless particles by our  dumb immune system where it  mistakes it for a deadly organism and expels it violently out of the system. But how to enlighten our dumb Tcells to realize that it is just some harmless dust,pollen or Chilly smell and not some virus remains a mystery. When the allergy is very discomforting I just pop an antihistamine which controls the reactions. It is like silence after a storm or Tsunami. God damn my allergy!!
