          Memory King






          Arpan Sharma










          I would like to share my own experience that
          before I had compiled Falang English Dictionary.

          I used to struggle heavily when it came to

          memorize or to understand the core sense of
          meaning of the words. I can still firmly regurgitate
          many words that I had learnt throw back to 2001.

          The only reason is that I used to learn things by

          applying mnemonic device.
