Reason why a single lick was enough for Manik to get cured: 🤓😎

A new study carried out by the Stanford University School of Medicine found that passionate love provides the same effective pain relief as painkillers or illegal drugs like cocaine.

Sean Mackey, MD, PhD, chief of the Division of Pain Management, associate professor of anesthesia and senior author of the study says that "when people are in this passionate, all-consuming phase of love, there are significant alterations in their mood that are impacting their experience of pain."

"We're beginning to tease apart some of these reward systems in the brain and how they influence pain.

"These are very deep, old systems in our brain that involve dopamine " a primary neurotransmitter that influences mood, reward and motivation," he adds.

For studying the way that love alters pain, researchers recruited 15 Stanford University undergraduates - eight women and seven men, and asked every one to bring a photo of their loved one and another of an equally attractive friend.

They chose people who were in the first nine months of a relationship because they "wanted subjects who were feeling euphoric, energetic, obsessively thinking about their beloved, craving their presence.

"When passionate love is described like this, it in some ways sounds like an addiction, [s] we thought, 'Maybe this does involve similar brain systems as those involved in addictions which are heavily dopamine-related.'"

The experiment consisted in scientists successively flashing the pictures before the participants, while heating up a computer-controlled thermal stimulator placed in the palm of their hand, that caused moderate pain."

All this happened while the brains of the subjects were being scanned in a functional magnetic resonance imaging machine.

The participants were also tested for levels of pain relief while being distracted with word-association tasks like thinking of a sport that did not involve balls.

This last experience was carried out because previous studies showed that distraction causes pain relief, and the scientists wanted to make sure that love was not working the same way as a distraction.

The results showed that both distraction and love reduced pain...

Just the gesture of bringing so many flavours because he didn't knwo what she liked. And this guy wants to sell her hate. Haha. Babies be so precious.

The way Nandu was looking at him while he was naming those flovors, i really thought for a min that she is going to pull him and kiss him or hug him. I mean that's the look she gave. 😆

But seriously, how thoughtful of him, how much her likes and dislikes matter to him, how much he loves her, but glad today he dropped the mask too, he spoke about how it hurts him to hurt her and he was so sounding helpless , he is angry, he does not want to forgive her as of now, he is just so confused as to what to do.

But i felt so bad, when the whole fab4 went how he is monster, and spoke about his extremities. He has always shown much more sensitivity than them even in the whole bullying phase, none of them bothered to keep a check on there actions, they all went extremes, but he kept it covered, he was the one who was even making sure they dont go to extremes. Such a loner he is, if not for Nandu, his life was a hell, not even one soul to tend to his wounds, to see through his facade, to understand him.

And WORD on Abhi, he needs to die already. I would be seriously happy if they say the chemo session failed and he died. Bass end that crappy mukbhi stuff.

Nyonika seems like is dumbed down for the fusion concert to happen? 😕 like she would find more ways to throw nandu out of his life in case she finds out, but keeping her a little dumb here gives manan time to sort out the issue.

@AY - I know he just gave up today, his frustrations at not knowing what to do All he wants is her but then the pain , the hurt is still raw yet she is his only balm. He is not masking it and she is not giving up. Sigh , their love is love.

*sigh* A WORLD of emotion these two are...how can we not get all caught up in it with them?😆

She is both the source of and the cure for his pain...and he just doesn't know how to deal with the enormity of those dueling contrasting emotions when it comes to her...that is why it LITERALLY burns him up inside.

If only he'd LET her in...he knows only she can soothe him but he is spending his energies fighting a losing battle😆

And thats what makes their story so poignant, she has that power over him, more than Noyonika or the rest of the fab5 hurting him , its the loss of Nandini that will irrevocably break Manik. She brings the much needed in-between to his extremes both of which now are devoted to her.

Yeah, MaNan share a DEEP bond😆 as Nandu said today😆


What I want to see happening more consistently now is Nandu gaining CONFIDENCE in her power over him and understanding the responsibility that comes with it...she does get it to some extent the way she said to herself that if she can break it, she can fix it too...but it's not as simple as that...Manik NEEDS her more than ever before cuz he's lost his way without her.

i be such a sadist, but they really want to give us another immortal laauuu story with Mukbhi right? why can't Mukti die too?🤔 i mean make her contract HIV or some other other fatal sexual transmitting diseases and make her die along with Abhi! Both in each other arms, at the same time. That would be a great lauu story na

MKBeee: Don't my silences speak to you? 😳

It's disconcerting how protective I've been feeling about Manik lately. He's like this scared child who knows pain all too well, and is terrified of losing that last ray of hope, yet is afraid of being betrayed again. So he shuts it out and yet wants to cling on to it desperately. It's just so sad. This boy has been through some serious emotional abuse.
