How does life change???
Once upon a time I was denied an Education Loan by a bank in Maharashtra for my engineering admission.(I had 108 marks in AIEEE in 2009)..
The manager saw my documents and said..

Prime Minister @narendramodi and @POTUS@JoeBiden are holding talks at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg in Delhi.
Their discussions include a wide range of issues and will further deepen the bond between India and USA. 🇮🇳 🇺🇸
Got this video in WA
This lady is taking her goat in the train..and she bought a ticket for the goat.
Look at her pride in her own honesty when she replies to the ticket collecting officer
Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
Vikram Lander is set into sleep mode around 08:00 Hrs. IST today.
Prior to that, in-situ experiments by ChaSTE, RAMBHA-LP and ILSA payloads are performed at the new location. The data collected is received at the Earth.
Payloads are now switched off.
Lander receivers are kept ON.
Vikram will fall asleep next to Pragyan once the solar power is depleted and the battery is drained. Hoping for their awakening, around September 22, 2023.
Here are the images before and after the hop.

Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
The Rover completed its assignments.
It is now safely parked and set into Sleep mode.
APXS and LIBS payloads are turned off.
Data from these payloads is transmitted to the Earth via the Lander.
Currently, the battery is fully charged.
The solar panel is oriented to receive the light at the next sunrise expected on September 22, 2023.
The receiver is kept on.
Hoping for a successful awakening for another set of assignments!
Else, it will forever stay there as India's lunar ambassador.
On the occasion of the 15th anniversary of BRICS, we have taken the decision to expand this forum. India has always fully supported this expansion. Such an expansion will make BRICS stronger and more effective.
In that spirit, India welcomes Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and UAE into the BRICS family.
🚨PARENTS ENDANGER MILLIONS OF KIDS BY POSTING THEIR PHOTOS ONLINE | Paedophiles & Criminals Use A.I
Parents who share their kids’ photos on social media are unwittingly exposing their children to serious dangers from child traffickers, paedophiles, criminals and cyber gangs armed with A.I tools.
There are many SERIOUS RISKS involved, including:
1) Identity theft from photos and videos
2) Sexual exploitation and grooming
3) Cyberbullying
4) Doxing and Kidnapping Risk
Shocking statistics from the Identity Theft Resource Center reveal that 1.3 million childrens' records are stolen each year in the US.
The problem is getting worse with a 63% increase in cases from 2021 compared to 2019. And based on reports to authorities, these figures are just the tip of the iceberg!
Tracy Kitten, an expert on online safety: “the picture our findings paint quickly becomes dark, grim, and scary.”
Sexual predators are increasingly using AI to create CHILD SEX ABUSE CONTENT by applying deep-fake image generators. They use real pictures taken from social media and place these on child pornography from paedophile gangs.
A.I can also be used to impersonate an individual’s voice which can be used for fraud, extortion and cyberbullying. Imagine your child’s voice being used to say embarrassing things, and then this is used to extort or bully them.
Another risk is doxing (revealing one’s address or other personal details), something I have spoken about at length. A video or image can provide geolocation A.I tools with enough unique information to very accurately reveal the location where pictures or videos were taken.
This data can then be used by human traffickers to plan a kidnapping of the child.
Remember WSJ’s report last month about Instagram’s “VAST PAEDOPHILE NETWORK" seeking underage sexual content and activity?
MY FRIEND AND HER 7 YEAR OLD SON:
As I was writing this tweet, a close friend and employee sent me a message that made me sick.
She saw her son (who I know extremely well) taking his t-shirt off while chatting online. When she checked his phone, he was in a Telegram group with other children and was being asked by a '6-year old girl' to send her nudes. The girl sent him nudes as well.
Based on the chat and the style of writing, it was obvious to her this was an adult impersonating the girl in order to get naked photos of her son.
She also told me about a common scam in which criminals use A.I voice generators to impersonate children, and call the grandparents pretending the child is in trouble (robbed/imprisoned/kidnapped), then requesting money to be transferred.
Paedophelia, to me, is one of the most serious problems we face. Mix this with A.I. and we have a VERY MAJOR problem, one we are not yet ready for.
The short video below sums up the tweet very well. Viewer discretion is advised.
WHY IS THIS ISSUE NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY?
Self help books are the biggest clichés of our generation.
Every once in a while a book comes that makes you rethink your outlook on life and actually helps you grow.

Best wishes to @isro for the #Chandrayaan-3 Launch Mission tomorrow. Congratulations to thousands of scientists, engineers, and technicians who have worked day and night to make this mission possible. 🚀🌙🇮🇳 #IADN

I lost my phone this morning.
iPhone 12 mini, which I’ve had for about 2 years.
I was going up the escalator at the Versova Metro station, when I reached into my bag and had my ‘waitaminute where the fuck is my phone???!’ moment.
Heart sank.
