I am sick. That does not mean I am mentally, morally, or emotionally deranged, corrupt, or unsound. That means I have fever and a terrible cough which has made me miss office today. With enough background established, let's talk about the medical check-up I had by some Dr. X yesterday (I don't remember his name!) comparing it side-by-side with the possible version where I replace Dr. X with Dr. Gregory (sarcastic and super-cool) House from the TV series "House MD".
Enter the sick patient in the examination room (that's me).
Dr. X : What's wrong with you?
Me : I have fever and cough
Dr. House (He is busy catching some TV soap. He has a look at you and then): You have fever and cough! (That's how awesome he is!)
Dr. X : Do you smoke?
Me : No
Dr. House : Ur lips suggest you don't smoke! (Again!!)
Dr. X and Dr. House: Since when do have cough?
Me : 4 days
Dr. X : OK
Dr. House : You are lying! U have it since more than a week. U have come here today coz u have fever too. But that's OK. Patients lie, Everybody lies.
Dr. X (After the typical check-up) : You have Bronchitis. Take this prescription and you will be fine.
Dr. House (After a very very short version of the typical check-up when the TV soap has a advertisement break) : You have Bronchitis! Take this prescription and let me watch TV.

Time machine..
Chronology of some non-eventful events -
April 1, 2009 : 11:59 PM : I go to sleep.
A minute later : The Earth started another diurnal course.
April 2, 2009 :
12:26 AM : Still not asleep, I find the lights in the kitchen on. Get out of the bed to turn it off. Go back to sleep...
4:00 AM (must be around this time) : I wake up unintentionally.
4:45 AM : After trying to sleep for a long time, I think getting out of the bed for some time is a better idea. I switch on the TV.
5:20 AM : Try my luck at sleep again. And the subject of the post hits me. If you are given a time machine and the following three options, which one will you choose :
1. I want to go back to relive the days of my life.
2. I travel ahead to find out how my life unfolds.
3. No Thanks! I am happy living in the present.
5:30 AM : I am sound asleep :)
And I had a normal day later..
Meanwhile, my choice : Option 1.
