I WANNA BE A CYBORG

Thats what i am thinking now a days. Because i've a terrible disability. I can't..... remember faces!

There is something wrong with my short term memory.It erases the data about the faces of people i recently met! It will take atleast five to six interactions for me to recognise some one! Until now this was not a issue because i was in chennai where i more or less know everybody around me.But this became a huge problem since i came to Ghaziabad.

I've met so many people in the past six days. I think i can recognize 4 or 5 of them (which is a great achievement for me by the way!). But more often than not, i encounter the following situation.

some guy: Hi, Dude, how are u?

Me: (blank stare) Um,.... i am fine.

Guy: So,how was ur class??

Me: (racking my brains to remember this person) Yeah, everything is fine.

Guy: Yesterday was fun, wasn't it??

Me: (to my self) .Here is some clue. I met him yesterday and did something fun. That narrows it down a little but still i can't tell who he is.

( to that guy): yeah. It was.

(Looking at watch) OOps, gotta go. see u around.Bye!!!


Pathetic, Isn't it??

But fortunately, there is a solution to this ordeal.

I plan to get myself a face recognisition software.
I got to fix this inside my brain some where.
Now this would maintain the database of everyface my eyes see. And matches a new face with the database and send the relevent information to my brain.

There is some risk involved,ofcourse!

There is a slight chance that This machine will act by itself and take control over my mind like in sci fi movies, but i am okay with that. Frankly, I am not doing great on my own anyway!
