Am I suffering from Acute Amnesia?

It seems that now-a-days I have started taking my life extraordinarly serious and in the process have damaged my brain cells leading to frequent embarassing forgetfulness.Sounds so serious and pitiable!!! I know u must be praying for the "untruthfulness" of this fact because I not only pray for the same when I am wide awake but also in my dreams.....

The other day I forgot that "Nokia" is not a sports shoe brand but a famous mobile brand.Otherwise why should have I asked my dear colleague and friend that whether he is wearing "Nokia's Shoes". U can say it as slip of tongue.I would also love to say that.But too many slips of tongue lead to too much of embarassement and it's better to assume urself as a diseased person than a healthy one with such a grave defect.

I often forget the names of people I interact very seldom even though I might have shared some good moments with them in the past.And the embarassement befalls when the guy happens to meet me greeting " Hello Manish!!" with a smile on his face and I, thanks to my gr8 memory,am able to say just "Hi" though I would have loved to say "Hi X" where X is the first name of the person.Medication is not the cure,determination to improve my memory surely is. Why do I say so?

Simple. A few months back I used to remember only one mobile number, ofcourse, just mine( thugh I have put that too in my contact list in case my memory plays the spoilsport).I didn't remember even my home number.Sounds so pathetic. Then one fine day I determined to engrave my home number in my brain and suprisingly now it's on my tongue all the times.And ofcourse I would hate to forget her number but you never know. Life is like that!!

And yes my Sametime - Offical IM - passwd.Should I give u a hint how tough is it? 44%#F34KU69C happens to be the template. A few weeks back I couldn't manage to remember it.But today it's on my tongue.A marked improvement.Don't u think so?

So again I ask myself - Am I suffering from Acute Amnesia? The answer is a BIG YES if I am an escapist and a BIG NO if I recognize the fact that it's just one's mental framework that leads one to feel so.

So should I be happy with the fact that in a few days to come I will surely remember that Nokia is a mobile brand and Nike a sport shoes brand and not vice-versa.Only time will tell.Or do I also have stake in that. YES, I do have.
