Stay back, those eloping memory cells!

Back to office after the short 4 day vacation, I was amazed at myself that I could not remember my network password. Finally, I needed the help of the admins to unlock and reset my password. I asked myself for once, was I falling into the alzchiemer's category? But 30 is even along way to go!
But then, I do remember it was raining heavily on the first day in school, that Dec 6th is the day when we saw last of our doggie Jimmy some 12 years ago, Sachin had bowled the last over against SA in the hero cup again almost a decade ago, my first doll lived with its one eye after the first week etc. But I can't remember half of my online user ids , passwords, recent acquaintance's names, tasks! May be they were right, when they said women remember to details all the unnecessary things, and forget the important matters!
Yeah, so now, whenever someone asks me a favor, I tell them back, "please remind me after some time". I try to ignore the grin that I see on their face. And when I have to introduce common acquaintances, I very smartly skip their names! They may find me manner less, but wouldn't it be even more sinful, to say I don't remember their names? :)
I told my friend I am going to take a daily dose of "JyothishBrahmi" but then she said, our brains were in degrading state and not in developing state. Sad!
I hope I have enough of memory cells left with me when I am fifty, to think back on these days and smile. In case, I don't...probably, I should start writing a detailed autobiography, so that I can at least read and wonder...was that my life???
