Remeber faces but not Names?

After a common comment from my colleagues, that i always write about hypothetical topics... paradox solutions.... Here is a finite article with no gyans :)

Every body of us has faced this situation.
When you meet an old friend or some person whom you met long back, you very well recognize him by his face, but his/her name struck in your throat?

This is because our human brain records things in patterns. Neural patterns. As part of human growth and metabolism lot of cells die in our body. Similarly in our brain too we loose lot of cells.
Cell = information. This is the main reason for memory loss. 

To keep them always in your brain you have to rewrite the whole info in new cells too... [same technology in a hard drive] but brain has a capability to recover the total data, if few of the neural chain is alive. This is the reason you take little time to remember / recall a mathematics formula ;)
Wana test? what is (a+b)^2 ? [a plus b squared]
Fine! With that very minimal idea, Back to our topic. How to remember names as you do the faces?

Try this exercise, call the person by his/her name looking directly into the person's face at least once a day. It really works.
