Sketches by Bengali film director/artist, Satyajit Ray for his unproduced THE ALIEN. Late 1960s.

At one point Peter Sellers was more or less attached, Steve McQueen and Marlon Brando were interested, but Ray got scammed by his representative in Hollywood and the project unfortunately stranded. Ray later believed films such as CLOSE ENCOUNTERS and E.T. especially were directly inspired by his work, as mimeographed copies of his script were freely floating around in Hollywood.

I first came across this story in a biography on Peter Sellers that I read in the late 1990s. I remember thinking, I wish I could read Ray’s script, see his sketches. Well, long live the Internet. There’s a book on the episode now too (image 3).

A point of light appears as a reflection in the water, grows bigger and bigger until the pond itself is lit up. The chorus of frogs, crickets and jackals grows in volume, and is joined by a humming sound. In a blaze of light something descends on the pond, shattering its placidity.

How To Remember Things Long Term Using Mind Palace Technique

If you're a Sherlock fan, you already know about this, but if not, let me introduce you to something that will probably change your life

Mind Palace as termed in BBC's series Sherlock is a memory technique called 'Method Of Loci'

It's very easy to get hang of, but you need to invest some time at the beginning

Here are the steps that I used to create a mind palace to remember all the things I'm required to in med school:

1) Imagine a small place/room

To begin, you need a small space until you get the hang of it. You can start with your own room or house or any place you know like the back of your hand

Example: your fridge, to begin with

2) Think of all the things that are placed in the room and commit them to your memory

Let me continue with the example: think of where everything is kept in your fridge.

Think of where the eggs are kept, the milk, the vegetables, etc.

3) Make a little list of something that you need to remember

People on YouTube would suggest to remember something like your grocery list (which will do) or the numbers of pi (which, while impressive, is unnecessary, I think)

I would suggest to not waste energy on something that doesn't apply to your life/studies.

Example: elements of the periodic table

4) Associate the list with the items in your mind palace

It doesn't always have to make perfect sense, you just need to relate to it while remembering later

Example: in my fridge, the eggs are kept separately at the top, just like Hydrogen in the periodic table

Next is Lithium, second row where we keep milk and so on.

5) For the first time, write down what you're associating everything with, a diagram on a plain paper works the best

So like, draw your fridge, make shapes that resemble the things in there and label them with the things that you are associating it with currently

6) Practice by Exploring Your Mind Palace

Like I said, it will need some time when you're doing it for the first time, but then, a practice for 15 minutes a day by venturing into your mind palace is enough

7) Make Your Mind Palace Bigger!

After you get the hang of it, just start renovating your mind palace bit by bit!

You don't need to keep just one mind palace, you can have as many as you want! Create one for remembering things about your family, another for school, another for birthdays of your friends, the list is endless
