Unpredictable life
I want to say something to the readers of these columns. If you are thinking of visiting a sick relative or friend, don't waste time, do it now, because it may be too late when you are ready to pay the visit. And if you see someone you know, who may not have noticed you, go up and speak to that person; life is unpredictable, you may not get another chance.
An incident still haunts me, I remember it with a pang of remorse. A farmer from our village, whom I knew from childhood as a very affectionate person, visited one of my brother's house in Chittagong town. That day I also went to that house and when I was leaving, I saw him talking with the inmates downstairs, he did not notice me, as I was in a hurry I did not stop and talk with him. That very night he died in his sleep at my brother's house. I felt very sad and regretted my action as I will never get the opportunity to meet him again.
