‘This book is certainly a masterpiece. It will help you to master your memory.’

Dr Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury

Chief Editor, Asia Book of Records

‘I have known Aditi since the last 4–5 years when she wanted to make it to the
Limca Book of Records
for the fastest calculation. Not only did she make that record, she went on gathering laurels culminating with the Guinness World Record! Since then Aditi and her husband Sudhir have become well-known for memory techniques, holding memory sessions and workshops. In fact, often I seek her advice to solve a record issue. The section on specific subjects like Biology, Chemistry etc. will be a boon book for students. I wish Aditi and Sudhir all the best for their book
How to Memorize Anything,
a book which will help thousands to be memory perfect!’

Vijaya Ghose

Editor, Limca Book of Records

The book
How to Memorize Anything
focuses on fundamentals of memory techniques to improve memory, bringing about a better understanding of the brain, using the right software for garnering and nurturing potential of the mind, and has a separate subject-wise section for students.

‘A logically compiled combination of facts, literature survey and applied research on memory function useful for students and entrepreneurs alike. On the one hand the book is written using words easily comprehensible by those whose native language is not English, and on the other hand, it covers the topic exhaustively. I have used memory skills described in the book and found them very useful, especially mind maps, to improve my memory.’

‘Learning memory techniques was a great experience for both my children; one is in grade 8 and the second one is in grade 3. Learning long list of items, associating numbers with symbols, cramming up names of states, Countries and capitals was all so difficult and never ending until they learnt the wonderful memory techniques which made learning more easier and logical. Thank you Aditi and Sudhir for giving both my children the gift that you have worked so hard for. I have taken certain tips from them and I am using them myself to remember my own presentations. This book will be a boon for students as well as people from all walks of life.’

A
s memory trainers, we conduct numerous seminars and work-shops in a number of organizations across the country throughout the year. During such seminars, when we perform some challenging memory exercises
(like memorizing number sequences, words, etc.),
the immediate expression we see on the faces of our audience is of disbelief and amazement. They all wonder how we can have such an outstanding photographic memory.

We are often asked, ‘
Is it God gifted?’
Sometimes people even ask us to sprinkle some magical memory power on them too. And we tell them that there is nothing magical in it. In fact, anyone can have a good memory if you know the right tricks.

They actually don’t believe us when we tell them this and the next question they ask is: ‘Do you mean we can have one too?’ ‘Is it really possible?’ And smilingly we assure them,
‘YES! It is possible
.’

In fact, the good news is that we can all have a very sharp memory as we’ve all been gifted with a wonderful machine called the
‘BRAIN’
which has the capacity to store infinite information and this capacity is almost the same for everyone. All of us have the same kind of hardware, i.e. brain structure, but the difference lies in the software we use to operate it. By ‘software’, we mean the right knowledge to use our brain and memory. And many a times, during our workshops in schools for children, we assure them that once they also download this software, they’ll be able to memorize things faster than us. How?? The answer is very simple—students use the latest hardware and just need to know how to
download
and use the right software.

I, Aditi Singhal, can confidently say, from my personal experi-ence, that any-body can do this. Five years back, I was a worried housewife who believed that my memory was fading day-by-day. I would forget to check milk after putting it to boil or forget to keep back the jewellery that I had worn to a party a night before or forget to make important phone calls or miss important appointments. Believe me, I was having a tough time as everyone in my family started complaining about my failing memory. I even considered consulting a doctor about this problem as I thought it was turning serious. Then one day I happened to attend a seminar on memory by renowned memory trainer Dr Biswaroop Roy Chaudhary. That program was an eye opener for me. I got to know many interesting facts about the human memory and brain. The session inspired me to further explore human memory and techniques to improve it. I started reading many books and attended some more seminars about it. I was determined to improve my memory and started using the techniques practically in my daily routine work.

Once I realized the difference it made in my life, I started sharing this knowledge with a few students with an aim to help them memorize their course content. One day when I was teaching 9
^th
class students how to memorize a chemistry periodic table, my son Devansh, who was just 5-years-old at that time, showed keenness to participate in the session as well. To my utter surprise, he could memorize 10 elements from the periodic table in just 5 minutes. He insisted on learning more and within a week he had achieved the accomplishment for being
the
youngest Indian to memorize the complete periodic table
and his name was registered in the
India Book of Records.
It was unbelievable but true. I felt proud every time I saw articles on Devansh’s achievements in leading newspapers and magazines.

Motivated by his performance, I started teaching these techniques to people from all walks of life, especially students and teachers. The response was very positive and very soon, many of my students also made numerous National and World Records and the
India Book of Records
awarded me with the title of ‘Best Memory Trainer’.

I also went on to make two National Records for ‘fastest calculation’ and ‘memorizing binary numbers’ awarded by the
Limca Book of Records
.

Using these wonderful memory techniques, we broke another record in the
Guinness World Records
for ‘conducting the largest Math class’, helping 2,312 students memorize tables till 99.

The journey from a homemaker to a World Record holder seems like a dream come true. It also proves that anybody who is interested in improving his or her memory can do so.

Seeing the overwhelming response from readers of my first book
How to Become a Human Calculator?
—how it is helping them get rid of Maths phobia, regenerating their interest in the subject, and developing self-confidence about their own calculation skills—my husband, Sudhir Singhal, who himself is a trainer and very passionate about these techniques, motivated me to share these wonderful, life-changing techniques with people all over the world by writing another book on tech-niques to improve your memory.

Our vision is to spread this awareness among people around the globe that we all have the same brain potential to memorize anything and everything, provided we know how to use it.

This book will serve as an instruction manual to help you understand your brain better and help you
download
the required software to harness its maximum potential, hence improving your memory.

Reading this book is smart. Putting what you learn into practice is even smarter.

So what are we waiting for? Let’s get started!
