"Live in present." Pata nahi, "kal ho na ho".
It was 25th april 2015 around 11.45 am, I was at my hometown kanpur with my mum and my elder daughter Tanya and I felt something is shaking up like my bed was rocking and I screamed Tanya what are you doing ,the second moment i realised that she is just three years old how can she move or shake the bed and then I ran towards the balcony as I was on the first floor .I saw people screaming and shouting and lots of fear they were experiencing and got to know that the earthquake of 6.7 Richter scale ( which we got to know later) and then I collected myself and with all my past experiences and all the stories in my head I just rush towards the ground floor by holding my mum and Tanya,
And nothing else was in my mind and when I reach to the ground floor I was carrying my mobile phone and I started calling Dilip and my dad and not for my surprise ,no phones were reachable at that very moment and ,I didn't know what is going to happen and I was blank for 30 to 45 minutes and those moments of stillness for the the things happening around just made me realise the "importance of the present" and in that very moment nothing was more important than holding my Tanya and hugging my mum and there I learnt the lesson of my life of living in present and be in the moment ,pata nahi," kal Ho Na Ho", and from there my life changed when I see today I am able to relate to the expression of live in present and I live in present and only think about the moment at the present time what's going on inside me and what's going outside me, that's how , I live in present moment and create beautiful memories out of the present and celebrate those small-2 success in life.

Good one
ReplyDeleteGood one Arti. We unnecessarily worry about too many things. 40% of things that ppl worry that will happen-never happen. 30% of all things involve that happened in the past and we cant do anything about them. 12% of us focus on the criticism from others as they felt inferior. 10% is related to health ...which worsens by thinking and not acting upon. So it's just 8% that cud be described as "legitimate" cause of concern. So, right you are - Let's live in the moment.
