It has been my observation as a parent of 2 cubs, that boogers can be broadly classified into 3 varieties.
1) CRUNCHY BLACK : As the name suggests, these are black in colour, generally dry, and crumbly-brittle in texture. [Some of the more unscrupulous critters even make a crunchy snack of this.] Generally found at the edge of the nostril flapping in and out with each inhalation and exhalation.
2) GUMMY BOOGERS : These are brownish green in colour, semi-dry, and have the binding capability of industrial strength super-glue. I can testify to this use as I have personally used this to stick together a wooden knob on a drawer, as well as seal courier packages, fix the leather in-sole and broken pieces of crystalware.
3) NEBULOUS GLOBS : These present themselves as neither solid nor liquid, and are tricky shape-shifters. Slimy to feel, they can travel down the nasal tract as well as upward and down into the gullet if they feel threatened or cornered. These little devils are best handled at the bathroom sink with plenty of soap and water.

And while on the subject, heres a pic contributed by Stanley D'cunha :
Now, enough of booger talk.
Post my miserable cough, the doctor suggested I do a full and complete examination with a bunch of tests now that I’m 35 years old and all….. “To check the general condition of your body and plan for long term treatment of the asthma.”
I’ll say this about the staff in the pathology dept of private hospitals :
You are not a person to them.
You are a piece of meat that must be prodded, covered in gooey gel, pierced, drained, probed and pumped with radiation.
Anyway, judging from the reports it turns out I was happily eating myself to a massive myocardial infarction.
Those jerks behind the KFC counter don’t tell you what they put into their yummy “Original Recipe”, but it seems my Cholesterol and Liver enzymes have been having a rave party of their own. Not to mention the Left Atrial enlargement of my poor (broken) heart !!
So while in my head I was developing my diet and exercise programme for the next 3 months, heres some pics I managed to produce this week.
