I have wrote an validation function for checking that my starting date
should be greater than the current date as like

validate :start_date_should_not_be_greater_than_current_date

def start_date_should_not_be_greater_than_current_date
  if self.start_date > Date.today
    errors.add("Whatever")
  end
end

But the problem is that when i left empty the field for start_date when
filling values in form, this error is coming:-
----
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil.>
----

I have also wrote some exceptions for my methods but these exceptions
are not catching this error.

Can you guys tell me how to tackle with this situation..
