And all of a sudden as if a shot from the gun she said that she was suffering from cough.  She was further questioned, "since how long"? Again there was no reply. It was revealed by the person  at accompanying her that in her daily routine also she changes her mood all of a sudden. As for  example, " one day we were all prepared for an outing with full enthuasiam and just add the time  departure, she started changing her dress abruptly and said that she was not accompanying us".
