You’re advised to copy paste it somewhere or write it down in your notes.

You’re going to remember Parts, Schedules of the constitution, Countries and adjoining Places, Organizations, Lakes and Seas, Important Passes, Tributaries etc. for life in no time.

These are not necessarily in an appropriate order but randomly placed. Hindi speaking people would have more advantage of these mnemonics as I’ve made many of them in Hindi.
