How Many Days of Your Life Do You Remember?

I want to take one particular instance from a film that has inspired me a great deal and has helped me to understand and live a better life. I feel that it has a strong significance in almost everyone's life. In the film Bluffmaster, Boman Irani asks Abhishek Bachchan "How Many Days of Your Life Do You Remember?" for which the answer was a meagre 30. Thirty years old and just 30 days to remember?

Consider this point - how many days can you remember vividly in your life? When I started thinking about this, my thoughts went right back to when i was in the ninth,  and I had just come back home after discovering a library which stacked all the Tintin and Asterix comics, as well as loads of Archie digests. I had picked up a Tintin (Don't remember which one) and come home. I think I had some guests over but I did not tarry. I had a bath, changed, and began reading it lying down on the bed. I remember myself very clearly saying these words "THIS IS LIFE!!!". I thought of the hundreds of comics in the library, waiting to be read and I couldn't stop smiling.

There were other memorable days, but not that many. You might ask, how much is enough. Well, nothing ever is. That's human nature and we can't help it. What we can do is put this in the right perspective. Every day that we live, we live to want more time, more money, more girls, more sex, more this and more that. Instead we should live each day in such a way that we can remember it forever. Live to ask for more such days because no matter what you say now, these will be the only days that will be worth anything in your life.
