Calm down: A clear head may help you remember where the item is.
Double-check where it should be: It’s easy to miss something that’s been in its proper place.
Check clutters spaces first: Studies have shown that lost objects tend to be misplaced in the most cluttered areas.
Check seating areas: Lost items often turn up in seating areas.
Search with your hands: Search in overlapping semicircles, for example, or overlapping rows from side to side. Don’t forget to check between and around your feet.
Retrace your steps: Walking backward or imagining you’re walking backward can help.
Use search patterns: Close your eyes and imagine your house in great detail. Really feel it. Ask yourself: Ok in left hand side or right hand side? Then, kitchen.

Tucked away, deep in the cerebrum and safely surrounded by walls and tunnels of brain tissue, two amygdalae brood in the dark. The name of these clustered packs of neurons is derived from the Greek amygdale, meaning almond, and thus reveals their shape. These two little almonds play a pivotal role in psychic life — they are generally associated with the darker side of emotional life and take on a significant part in the production of anxiety, sadness, and aggression. Yet, they tend to produce happiness and the feeling of reward as well. Whimsical in their function, they give a hand in the construction of desire and help make decisions. They assist in the production of memory and emotional learning and flare in cases of PTSD. Political orientation is said to be shaped by one’s almonds, too. But most of all, they allow one to remember oneself. They make sure that one remembers that yesterday’s thoughts were actually theirs — that the I is an I, which makes a self.

The Prayagraj Kumbh Mela, organised every 12 years, has entered the Guinness World Records for the largest crowd management, largest sanitation drive and largest painting exercise at the public sites.
The Prayag Kumbh Mela, also known as Allahabad Kumbh Mela is a mela, or religious gathering, associated with Hinduism and held in the city of Prayagraj, India, at the Triveni Sangam, the confluence of the Ganges, the Yamuna, and the mythical Sarasvati river. The festival is marked by a ritual dip in the waters, but it is also a celebration of community commerce with numerous fairs, education, religious discourses by saints, mass feedings of monks or the poor, and entertainment spectacle. Approximately 50 and 30 million people attended the Allahabad Ardh Kumbh Mela in 2019 and Maha Kumbh Mela in 2013 respectively to bathe in the holy river Ganges, making them the largest peaceful gathering events in the world.
Kumbh Mela in the 1850s
The full Kumbh mela is held every 12 years, while an ardha (half) mela is held after about 6 years at the same site.The 2013 Kumbh mela was the largest religious gathering in the world with almost 120 million visitors. An Ardh Kumbh Mela was held in early 2019. The next full Kumbh mela is scheduled for 2025. The exact date is based on the Hindu luni-solar calendar and is determined by the entry of planet Jupiter in Taurus zodiac and while the sun and the moon is in Capricorn.
Festival Location
Looks way up there, right? Close to Nepal, Mt. Everest…. Not so fast! We must fight our latitudinal chauvinism.

Ghrrrrrrr. Airport lost and found. Ghrrrrrrr.
Thank you so much for your tips on finding items. I one to add a couple that might circumvent the finding process. One was taught to me by my brother who has ADHD. He says, when you stand up to go, look behind you (like in a seating area!) and make sure you haven’t left anything behind. My younger sister has GPS tracking devices (something like that!) on her keys and phone. My problem is quite the opposite. These days, I’m finding things that I forgot I had, and why I had them!!! Weird!!
