THE NAME GAME

The most sweetest word for each one of us is probably our name, for it gives us an identity. But how often we tend to forget the names of people whom we have met in lives. It may be very painful for the other person to know that you don't remember the person.

To avoid this situation remember the name as soon as you are introduced to any person. Look carefully at the person and find out something that can be associated with the person's name like Naina has beautiful eyes, Iqbal ('iq' 'bal') has good hair.

Or you can associate with someone you know may be your family member, actor, actress, some personality, brand name, God etc.

Or you can associate with anything about the person itself,about career, address, hobbies etc like Jeevan is a doctor, Usman stays at Usmanpura, Navrang likes painting.

Or you can break the name and try to bring some meaning to it like Simran, break it into 'Sim' , 'ran', so a slim girl is running, now imagine Simran running, Jaspreet, break it into 'jas', 'preet', means just love and so on.

Use the persons name as often as possible like Hello Kiran and not just Hello or Thank you Jai, for by doing this you are not only remembering the name but also giving importance to the person and importance is something liked by each one of us.

So next time don't say, " I have met you some where, but I don't remember your name. "
