HYDERABAD: Squadron Leader Jayasimha, who holds three Guinness world records for three events, two related to memory and one for the longest lecture marathon, is all set to establish an institute for memory power development in city.

A soft skills trainer who runs ‘Jayasimha Mind Dynamics’, a personality development company, Mr. Jayasimha says memory is also a skill which anyone can develop with training.

After proving his credibility with world records and efficacy of three-dimensional memory system which he developed, Jayasimha says the concept is all about receiving, storing information systematically in the brain and recalling right information at the right time.

Six-day training

Speaking to media persons here on Tuesday, Mr. Jayasimha, the first Indian to hold three Guinness records, said that a six-day training programme with a duration of four hours each day, would help students, professionals, businessmen and general public in improving memory and recall.

The training would help various categories of people to remember well and recall what one wants instantly. It, in turn, would improve one’s performance, whether in competitive exams, profession or business.

Fete of sorts

It should be true as it comes from Jayasimha who holds the record for recalling 200 random items in the order that they were read to him. He also established a new record by recalling the names and dates of birth of 20 persons who were shown to him and was asked to spell out their names and dates of birth in the same order after he was blindfolded.
