Live in the Present

“I never knew that you loved me so much.” Sushma told her husband who has been sitting bedside her in the hospital. She has just recovered from a serious surgery. Her husband had been by her bedside without sleep or food for days together. Many of us fail to show our love for our dear and near ones. Some of us live our lives either repenting about the past or worrying about the future. Also, some of us are so busy trying to make a better living, that we forget to live our lives! The encounter with death at the least expected moment of my life in that air accident in 1982 taught me a great lesson; we need to learn to live in the present. Yesterday is like a cancelled cheque, tomorrow is like a promissory note; but today is like ready cash in hand'. Today is the best day to begin a new life. Today is the best day to tell and show our dear and near ones how much we love them. Today is also the first and best day of our remaining life. Live it at its best.
