how to improve memory - what are brain exercises that help !!

Come on Apsara. Don't try to spoil me by calling me intelligent and all.I am a very simple honest down to earth freind of you. If you are stupid I would like to have more stupids around me and will change the meaning of stupid from all the dictionaries. Now coming back to movies you have said exactly what is in my mind. Each and every movie we have seen in the theaters was an experience.You can recollect the preparations and the friends and families with whom you went and the movies' stories and dialogs .As I said each and every movie is an experience. I swear I don't remember the names of the movies I watch nowadays and keep renting the same movies again and again from the library.The best part is sharing the feelings with like minded people like you.

Thanks a lot Bala for such sweet comments. Sometimes I really find it amazing that how we both are same age and we have shared same fun and feelings since our childhood, though you were somewhere in south and I was jumping around somewhere in north.......your way of thinking, you likes and dislikes.....so much similar to mine.......I am happy that we met here on mylot or else it would such a loss, not to have friend like you.........Thanks for being my friend......

Hi bala........to tell you the truth, I sometime really forget how much money I have in my purse, because usually , I don't have.......I depend on my hubby's wallet Your are right bala, only things whom we don't give full attention right at that moment, we forget soon. Remember when their was no TV and VCR etc and we use to go to theater to see movies, even today we remember those movies because we had our full concentration on them. But now when we see so many movies on TV or DVD etc.......we don't remember anything. I already found important help from you Bala.......Why are you so intelligent and me so stupid.....

Hi checapricorn.....Yes I have noted down about puzzle games and will try to find some good puzzle sites. By the way are you capricornian, if yes, then so am I ........have a nice day.

wow...really? we have the same zodiac sign! that's cool!

sandiya my dear.......first of all you are still very young, and on top of that you are a teacher, and teachers can never forget things as they keep on repeating again and again the same things and so the brain has no chance to get rusted...lol, so I bet your memory is wonderful. Also I agree that the best way to remember is to associate one thing with another.This I had read from one of the books from my father's study room.......and during my examination I used it a lot to remember things and also when I taught spellings to my daughter ,I used this technique.

Hi deepak, Yes you are right, when we really want to remember something , we do it........so it all depends on how much importance we give to particular matter. Thanks for the list of brain exercises....I will add chess also to this list and keep it in mind for my old age....... Right now we have mylot as great gift to use our brain and keep it active. Have a nice day.

I agree with your views and Chess also helps us sharpen our memory. Otherwise, participating in discussions on mylot on various subjects is not less than a good brain exercise. When we write responses on various topics, we need to jolt our brain from slumber and writing does help us making our mind active and alert. Have a great day!

Hi friend, yes you are absolutely right dear, we must keep our brain active and for that we should never stop learning, the more and more new things we keep learning, the better will be our memory. I think learning more and more languages is interesting and also good for brain cells. Thanks for your reply.
