The memory mirage in a digital world.

- Ritu Kamra Kumar

The other day as I filled a form for remuneration for university exam duty, the form required to fill details like Bank Account number, my registration ID as university examiner, the registration number of my vehicle, my contact number, etc. I realised that I had to take help of my document details stored in Mobile's Personal Notes.

The Overwhelming Digital World

Even in my personal notes, there were so many passwords-one for College mail ID, another for personal links, still another for department, similarly bank details of SBI, PNB, and HDFC, passwords for ATM, Credit Card, etc. I was completely dwelling and diving deep in the digital world. I had to search for the relevant information in this labyrinth of pins and passwords I needed, and I felt low.
