~Reminding Reminders~


At the very spurring point of time, the moment it reminded me of scribbling down something on the keyboard; the fingers were literally crawling down with infinite creepy crawly insects like motion. So without distracting further, moving to the subject matter, I am neither making any attempts to study or research on medically certified complex terms, concepts revolving around ’Short Term Memory Loss’ also known as ‘Anterograde Amnesia’ which in simple terms means mere loss of the ability to create new memories, after the event that caused the amnesia, leading to partial or complete inability to recall the recent past, whereas long term memories remain intact.


So having done bit of technical homework; this articulate creation is not just a thought but actually in pretext of confiding, an unusual habit of mine; which struck to explore as a viewpoint rather than sheer justifying or showcasing logical evidences for simply relying over the reminders set in mobile or otherwise. In nutshell, it was the untimely impulsive thoughts striking around the midnight wee hours for less than couple of week’s time, to set the reminders that would remind to recall the instances to be structured & compiled as per convenience.

Since more than couple of years, this unusual habit of fixing up reminders on regular routine basis was indeed dependent yet a reliable tool to get the things, activities done at the very right prefixed time slots (some minutes, hours, days, weeks, months & even years away). Almost every day; mobile is the first to rise up with reminder for wishing ‘Good Morning & have a Nice Day’ instead of morning alarm tone; the rest whole day, mobile uses its own memory to save & remind for the birthday wishes, important tasks to be performed, writing diary & at times just for nothing. Not over exaggerating for living with reminders; resembling to some support system or calculative living for sparing time by organizing minute by minute plans.

Some close ones & even some not so friendly types just comprehended frequently about the same, for having losing natural & instinctive command, control & in charge over memory cells functioning for remembering the tasks. At times, my manifested appearance & behavior seemed to be of having over dependence & addictive for the mobile reminders; which would uncommonly be perceived as robotic actions for recording & scheduling the activities in form of commands etc; some even quoted about being similar to following strict army timetable. Remembering through the mode of mobile application is not for the fear of forgetting or losing some sensitive, important action to be carried out but the conservative mantra quotes as it’s always better to ensure ‘Hope for the Best; & fAq the Rest’!.

Well, taking a glance for notifying different ways, means & tricks that most of us apply at some or other point of times to ensure strong memory; be it during the deadly exam preparations, to meet up with deadlines (projects, assignments, presentations, practical’s etc), imperative tasks to be executed, meeting up with different dates at different times & at different hangouts, to avoid last minute frittering arrangements; or be it any damn small or big event to be systematically planned & actualized flawlessly. So some can be found tying knots to their hankies, threads (for petty things or daily chores); rehearsing more than couple of times (just like while appearing for horrifying exams); managing over scribbled bits of papers (mostly while shopping & payment due dates); & all such crappy stuffs-only for the sake of reminding the ‘to-do-list’.

The other side of setting up & relying over reminders; although not so addictive & yet could prove to be critically lethal; if not understood the knack to surpass while not just merely setting up the reminders considering all the possibilities & circumstances; be it on some techno savvy gadgets & devices or even bits of paper; but also to adhere & follow to the best possible extent to meet up the deadlines & serve the purpose effectively. By any means, there cannot be & also should not be any hard-&-fast rule in context to deciding upon the nature & occurrences of reminders to be perceived & also followed. This reminds me of one such marketing concept & terminology for advertising & promotion related activities; wherein the target market is first introduced with the brand product/idea; later influenced & persuaded; & also strategies for reminders about the proposals & offers are made as per the requirements.

At this point of juncture, it reminds me to post this yet another wacky article; taking this exuberant chance to dedicate a token of admiration & sincere thanks for the reminders; one of which reminded me to write (type) this yet another ‘classic creation’ (hopefully!). So breaking the nutshell, having entangled the memory cells as to what to remind & how much to remind; just reminding one thing, that don’t forget to comment your views & experiences; be it one word, a sentence or anything that you remind of after reading this!.


~Thank You~
