Memory Tips


All the below synopsis are by famous authors so keep reading have fun... 

1. Draw -> see an image then see with closed eyes, draw images of any kind.
2. Visualize -> Choose a location with lots of visual features around, so that we could associate things to remember with this.
(Eg: Rooms in our house, so to recall we have to walk to all the rooms and remember wat we have put)
3. 10 items to remember either by rhyme (1 for bun) or by image (like 0 for sun) then associate them with things to remember
*Great to store when we get ideas while bathing, eating, driving, meditating..
4. Name -> pay attn to their voice , ask again try calling their names .. mostly associate their names with some thing striking ..
like link their appearance to a popular person, or character or create new image ..
5. Pay attn: , Motivate
While introducing associate the name with some thing that may b a silly image or ridiculous thing like like linking the person's feature (forehead, nose, ears, eyes, eyebrows) and repeat just to make sure you pronounce it..
6. Feedback (video record physical activities)
7. Train your digit span (working memory a temp memory that we normally repeat it till we write somewhere like a phone number)

Covid-19 Be prepared for the future

Covid 19 - How to be ready for the worst which is yet to come if not now but in the coming years.

- The same virus group mutates and there is every chance a more stronger variant will attack in the coming years.
- The most important thing is to have a will power to combat.
- The cure depends on your health ( immunity) , geographical area and most importantly your mindset.

-- There are many ways to prevent to some extent like chewing black peppercorns along with rock salt 3 numbers each ( in the empty stomach) or gargling with saline water or inhaling a strong home made decotion.
-- There is of course one way to cure that is to follow your usual approach ( taking medicines over the counter) to normal cold, cough , fever and do not be bothered about the symptoms for covid-19. Even if the symptoms are similar or it is ( god forbid it shouldn't be), refuse to believe that and take usual medicine that you always have with a more strong feeling that it will be cured the following day. This is important because feelings or emotions affects us more than anything else it can either make us or break us. You should put this in your sub-conscious mind or simply repeat it whenever there is a fear or doubt.
-- For some people gargling works and for some rubbing 'vicks' works it could be anything even drinking alcohol a little but do it with the feeling that it is the cure for your body. It is like believing in the approach which worked earlier and will work now your body will take care of the rest.

The best way Govt can plan to come out of this is by

-- Isolating elders, people with comorbidities or with any other health issues in and around respiratory area ( also diabtic patients ).
-- There is no way we can prepare bed for billion population and who will treat them?
-- So Beds and hospitality should be only for the aged and people who cannot afford to isolate in their house again separate elders.
-- For the remaining population the virus may attack may be symptomatic or asymptomatic and it can be eradicated by allowing it to reach a peak so that there is no subject to spread further. May be with some prescription.The earlier we do this it is better for everyone and for the country as well.
-- I'm not suggesting to remove masks and be irresponsible but to be vigil and alert yet have personal space.  -- Most of lower middle class families are confined to few hundred sq. feet for days, weeks and now months. It will not only affect their social economic status but their health so badly.

Lessons Learned

-- We missed a great opportunity to gather data and digitize everything about people, places which could be of immense help in tracing.
-- All maintenance work that were planned earlier before lock down is still in the same condition seems it wont start until public is back from lock down but the railways have made use of  this period by renovating terminals.Why this was not followed in all public places like bus terminals and all other places?

-- If this virus has taught us one thing, it is cleanliness. Reminds me a saying cleanliness is next to godliness!
-- Soak vegetables with rock salt and turmeric to be free from virus leave it for sometime then use it.
-- I shall soon post some articles on breathing that could help a little till then take care!

-- Again this too shall pass!
