sankh 🐚

 i am grateful to have recently received a sankh (conch) 🐚 and it intrigued me how it works - came across a good article - will explore more as well 

beee happy

don't worry

If you are worried of too much AI (or scams 🤣) then let me share about "Decoy Font" 😊 here 

scams galore!?

 I had heard of "invoice scam" earlier .. but was surprised to actually receive one physical printed in our mailbox recently (on a pink slip) 😮 https://us.cibc.com/en/privacy-security/banking-fraud/frauds-and-scams/fake-invoice-scams.html

Shool ?!

And then .. other day someone called my wife pretending to be calling from a big organization we trust - with of course caller ID masked to match

And the latest was extra ordinary - we both were sitting on the dining table and then she ran to pick her phone just to figure out someone was calling her with my phone number/picture as caller 😀

I feel the fast developments in technology (Gen-AI and all) is going to increase a lot of "business" for scammers .. we need to raise our collective consciousness to make sure that सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः 🙏

guess the country (or nearby city)

 i have tried some "guess the airport" posts earlier 🤣 now, trying to confuse with this road sign 😜

where is this?

L9H 7L8 is postal code (near Hwy 5 & Hwy 6 in Dundas, ON, Canada)

do you know - or DID you know ?

 knowing is NOT linear (from 0 to 100) ... it is more circular (0 to 360 degree) .. like many things seemingly "straight" are "curvy" .. if you know too much, do you end up getting results of as if you know nothing?

i recently was returning back home .. and at airport, picked up a cab .. when the guy started taking little different route, i showed some doubts - so, he asked to put on GPS .. and i thought i know my way home from our local airport well enough ... the map showed something different at one point midway and i said ignore it and take my "usual" route - he did unwillingly agree to - and then we were stuck enroute with some special weekend construction closures - which i did not (of course) know of :(

i thought i know the route - but it should be past tense "i knew" the route from airport to my home (as it was yesterday) - today, is a  new day with new possibilities - because i think i know "enough" i ignore new info (and willingness to openly accept different possibilities) 

:-)

[many things in life turn out to be - different from what they appeared at first look ... and hence earth seems flat on cursory observation - but then when we humans knew more we (not all!) have agreed on the concept it being a globe/sphere]
