  • It is not Storage

    The way sentences are crafted, we come to believe the computational view, well promoted in Facebook’s language and algorithmic feature.

    MEMORY IS NOT STORAGE

    Memory strictly is a unique feature among living beings. It may get aided or distorted or changed basis certain factors.

    Often we say, retrieving memory. It isn’t a memory actually if it isn’t retrieved. What I mean, there is no memory without retrieval. Unrestrieved memory is no memory. You see that crazy use of words. Sorry if it is confusing and thank you if you get it.

    In fact, there could be a meta-memory which hints at memory of a retrieved memory, that’s possible. But it ends there. RETRIEVAL cannot be teased apart from memory.

  • List of work

    Yesterday

    Before Yesterday

    Way Before Yesterday

    YBYWBY, in short!

    To get down to making a proper list of work to do today and later, I use those expressions to poke my mind and memory.

    Mind constantly retrieves some or the memory in response to keeping eyes, ears and senses open… When there isn’t much to do but the body and mind are in alert state, retrieval is a dominant form of being. Focusing means retrieval, while active, is still subservient to whatever the mind is focusing on.

    There are other states where focusing and retrieval are not dominant. Boredom?

    Organizing, when it becomes a memory, becomes a ‘set of elegant movements’, and becomes efficiency.

    Performing the same special acts over and over in the same space. Layering one thin transparent layer of film upon another upon another. And then seeing them through the eyes of memory. Fusing and confusing them all.

  • ‘Remembering’ that’s something that I think about so…

    ‘Remembering’, that’s something that I think about so often. I guess, many of us do.

    2 other terms similar to ‘remembering’ are ‘recalling’ and ‘revisiting’.

    I prefer using the term ‘revisiting’ instead of ‘remembering’. Actually I find it painful to ‘re-member’. And more so, by means of preparing and viewing lists routinely. Remembering through routine lists is what I call as ‘tyranny of lists’. By no means I am saying that it is ineffective. Folks who manage with lists routinely do a tremendous job. But there are folks like me who can’t take that routine.

    When I say ‘revisiting’, though that too involves some pain, the process becomes slightly more ponderous, slightly richer.

    But then, the question is always the same: how does one ‘revisit’ without making lists? I start with thinking about ‘yesterday’. And then I move on to ‘the other day…’ I realize I don’t have to write at all on many occasions. But there are occasions when I feel compelled to write in detail. All in all, the good part is the process doesn’t become a routine (and stale), and yet the memory stays fresh and alert to accomplish whatever jobs I am on to.

    It is a lifting day. And reading Murakami day. The more the stuff sitting pretty in the memory, they make it heavy going for the legs.

    Technique should not become a habit.

    Obstacles in the process of exercising a technique develops elegance. Initially, embarrassment and frustration, perhaps.
