A couple of weeks ago I met a schoolmate who said, "We're meeting after sixty years!" I was amazed. I'd entertained him to lunch just two years back, when he was in Karachi (he lives in Lahore). After a few minutes of conversation, I realized that he is suffering from dementia.
I've always been scared that I might wind up to be like other old people who don't remember anything. So, when my VPN app recommended a couple of programs that could stave off dementia, I eagerly downloaded them and was relieved to find that I don't suffer from the disease.
One of the programs has words that you have to find from many. The words are arranged vertically, horizontally and slant-wise. Some are backwards. It does make you concentrate for a time, and makes you calmer.
The other program (CrossMath) is to do with arithmetic, in which I excelled in my school. This one is really tough. There are four categories of problems, starting with the easy ones, then going to medium and hard ones, and finally the ones for experts. In less than a month, I became skilled enough to try the expert problems, which I usually solve in five minutes. I tell you, it's a relief to find out that I can do so. I advise everyone I know to devote a few minutes every day to these two programs.
