COD (trademark term by me) seems to affect almost everyone when they leave home to go onsite for a few weeks to a few months or maybe years. The COD (Common Onsite Disease) infects you the minute you step on foreign land.
For the first few days - the disease is asymptomatic. The subject shows no signs of malady and is happy go lucky. Only talks about how good the place is, how luxurious the hotel is, guys would definitely comment - Yahan ki bandiyan badi hot hai yaar!, girls definitely are elated at the shopping opportunities.
After the incubation period of a few days, the COD virus comes into activity. Here's a guide to know if the subject is suffering from common onsite disease. Symptoms include:
- More Hindi Usage
- 24X7 online status on IM's
- Too much internet presence
- Sudden fondness for Hindi Songs/Movies
- Calling friends back home more often than usual
- Feeling blue frequently
People get more affected by COD if there is someone special waiting at your homeland ;)
