CHANDRIKA SHENOI ON “HOW TO IMPROVE MEMORY”







 The Feb 10 Education Seminar by Swakula Chetana at Sri Sadguru Anathaswamy Ashrama had interesting subjects and one by Mrs.Chandrika Shenoi on “How to Improve Memory” was a best seller as the topic was such that it was not only useful for students per se but every one present there.
PROFILE OF CHANDRIKA SHENOI : 
Mrs.Chandrika Shenoi has more than 6 years experience in teaching. She is currently working as a Lecturer in Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Amrita School of Engineering, Bangalore. 
 
 
 
Mrs.Chandrika Shenoi  began by emphasising that to remember what you study, it is essential that the environment you study is right. Giving example, she said, there should be NO Television, Radio and other such distractions when you are studying.
She also encouraged students to indulge in Group Study with similar minded students and not those who are inclined to while away their time and yours also in the process. 
 

She stressed on the need to visualise things you already know and connect the same with the subject you are studying so that remembering becomes easy. 

 
She said “SLEEP” is also very essential and there is no need to sacrifice sleep in order to improver your memory.
She also suggested students to avoid studying similar subjects simultaneously.
Mrs.Chandrika then encouraged students and also the parents who were present to ensure Healthy Eating for Better Memory. She said that eating regularly thoughout the day in small quantities and drinking plenty of water is better than eating one big meal and becoming lazy, sleepy.
 
Mrs.Chandrika also cautioned against excess caffeine (which many students are guilty of)  and eating snacks.
She also said that regular exercise and deep breathing regularly would also improve concentration and in turn your capacity to remember what you have studied. 


She ended her presentation amid deep satisfaction by students and parents alike.
Mrs.Chandrika Shenoi was then thanked profusely for her precise time by the Swakula Chetana team and presented with a Shawl of hounour by Sheela Prakash Sarode. 
 
 

Overall, the flow of program and the response by students was refreshing.
Mrs.Chandrika Shenoi later emailed to Srikanth Shankar Matrubai Thank you for the opportunity , it was very nice of you to provide me to interact with the next generation.
Please let me know if there was any feedback or any aspects which the students wanted to clarify.
Few of the students have taken my mobile number- in case they want to clarify questions.”
