At the checkout counter, the girl asked for my mobile number.
I couldn't recall it.
The guy behind me asked: "Forgot your own number?"
I had..., at least at that moment.
Around 40, research studies say, the brain begins to shrink. Half a percent a year. Faster after 70. Shrinkage doesn't mean loss of cells. They become smaller, but continuous learning can boost their effectiveness.
Forgetfulness is the pause. Names slip. Faces blur. Numbers vanish at checkout counters.
Of late, I treat my mind like a hard drive with shrinking storage. What goes in, matters now. I skip what's a click away, and retain only what I need.
RAM slows with age. Quick recall fades.
ROM deepens. Patterns surface. Wisdom accumulates. Experience becomes archive.
Every age has its edge.
The young process faster.
The experienced process better.
Which is running your most important decisions?
What’s your survival move?
I explore these quiet shifts on Instagram.
