● Is there anything called good memory / bad memory - are they hereditary?
It’s all about how we use memory. It’s only a question of trained or untrained memory. However hereditary do play a minor role.

● The capacity to use left or right brain varies from individual to individual. Is this taking place ‘by birth’ or ‘by the circumstances or situations that he comes across during his/her growth’?

Mostly it is about how a child is exposed to during the first few years of his life. A positive surrounding may help a child to use the best of both the brain. Genetics also plays a role in the making of both the brains.

● Does left and right brain support each other while memorizing?
Yes, the coordination between both the brains makes the memory a permanent one.

● What is called working memory capacity of an individual?
At a time an individual may not be able to hold more than 4-to-5 digits, that is why every time someone is giving his mobile no. you start looking for a piece of paper to write it immediately as the mobile number consists of 10 digits.. That is working memory capacity.

● Is it possible to increase memory of a human be- ing or rather is it a better usage of memory?
It is always the better usage. Virtually speaking the capacity of human memory is limitless, so no question of increasing the storage capacity.

● We are able to memorize many things. Is it possible to erase out something irrelevant occupying our “precious” memory space?
It is not possible to erase a memory however we can take away the attention from it.

● You have travelled a lot and met many. How majority of people take about improving memory? Just for success in competitive exams or for a better life?
It is for both and sometime managing the unwanted and unfortunate memories.

● What impact does modern entertainment gadgets like TV, Video games have on the memory capacity and concentration of children?
The gadgets impair the functioning of the brain specially the growing brain in case of children.

●Does meditation and yoga help improve con- centration?
Yes it helps.

●Does food affect memory and concentration?

Food plays a major role. Fast food specially chips, burger, chocolate damage the neurons. Raw and green food is good for memory especially seasonal fruits.

● Can we use technology to reinforce memory and concentration?
The best technology is your brain. At the most you may rely on diary and note pad. As you write you use your motor sense but certainly no electronic gadget.

● How far does repetition help in memory development?Our education system is built up on this. Is this correct?
Repetition is one method of memorizing; however it’s not a reliable since it is dependent of ear memory and in human ear memory is majorly an inferior memory. We must incorporate the eye memory i.e. imagination in memorizing which can enhance the quality of education.

● What made u develop your interest to do memory workshops?

As a student I was known as absentminded, as a result I was desperate to improve my memory so I read more than 200 books on memory and mind. At the end I concluded that had I known these methods as a child, I would have done better in school education. So why not to train today’s kids with these methods.

● Can you share some memory tips for students in particular?
You might see the examination sheet on the notice board or your teacher might refer to the examination paper they are preparing. No matter what the stimulus, you are likely to respond by quickly counting the number of week or days before the beginning of the exams.

When you consider the pre-examination revision period, you are really confronted with the issue of how to use your remaining time most effectively, that time will go flying by, so it is imperative to get your revision in to the top gear as soon as possible.

Consider the following steps:

Organize Yourself
Organize your revision on several different time plans. That is, work out a weekly study plan for each of the final weeks, a daily plan for each of the days and finally, a study session plan for the next few hours, with the three time plan, you can see how each day’s progress related to your overall task.

Time Effectiveness:
Most student know that when they function at peak effectiveness. Some people are morning workers, while others find they are most effective in the evening or the night. Given that you are probably going to study at any available hour of the day before your examination, you might want to consider what subjects you will be studying in your high and low periods of the day to gain and maintain momentum.

Stop Worrying:-
In spite of your positive stars, you may find wor ries sneaking into your learning effort. If this is the case, stand up and turn away momentarily from your desk, take a few deep slow breaths and then return to your study. While standing and breathing deeply be sure to breathe slowly.

Think positively:
Assert your positive attack upon your revision by working on a card with the words: Yes I can do it/ Place the card in the front of your book and notes so that you can see the words every time you glance up.

Study Breaks:-
Take frequent but short breaks from your study ing, as mental and physical fatigue will being to wear you down. While you are trying to absorb a lot of work, you mind will need these short rests so that you can maintain the pace. Just getting up from the desk, walking around the room several times and then sitting down again can be sufficient break.

Focused Reading:
Focus upon the major points in your revision. Time is very limited and you will have to be very selective about haw you are spending it. There is no time to learning minute and trivial details. At the eleventh hour, you can expect to master or revise only the major points.

Avoid Excessive Stimulants:
Beware of stimulants such as coffee, tea and stay- awake tablets. You will find that your nervous system is already in the top gear and last thing you need is additional stimulation. Too much caffeine in your body under tense cramming condition can produce negative effects.
