Fails to remember things like names some events and all. i would like to know that what might be the problem and what can be done for that to sort out

Two secrets: First try to repeat the name one or two times in rapid repetition in you mind. This will better embed the name in your mind. The second is to associate the new name with a thought already in you mind. Even if a bizarre idea comes up use it to capture and anchor the new name to your mind. This process is called free association.
