   how can i improve my memory. i cant memorize any word and implementation in the real life conversation…?

2. AnuVeluri on June 20th, 2009 10:32 am

   Hi Javed, u can certainly refine ur memory…do not try to learn a number of words a day..give yourself two to three words and try to imbibe their essence thoroughly. Use the word with your family/friends..I am sure u will see a difference..

   Regards,
