Mahindra revealed that he has never feared new technology, nor does he view it as a threat. So, when someone sent him an image accompanied by what seemed like yet another nostalgic rant, his first instinct was to dismiss it. But his background in photography made him pause.
Reflecting on the ease with which AI can conjure up flawless visuals, Mahindra warned that there's a hidden danger — forgetting the importance of freezing genuine, unrepeatable moments. 'It is just as important to capture moments as it is to create them,' he wrote, urging people not to lose touch with the art of recording reality. In his words, the choice is clear: capture moments, not just manufacture them.

Many agreed with Mahindra's sentiment, saying we must remember the importance of experiencing and capturing what nature has given us — whether it's a sunset, a child's first steps, a waterfall, or a rare sight like multiple rainbows. Others reflected on how photography touches the soul, offering something irreplaceable in freezing life's raw moments. Some expressed concern over the staggering number of artificial images and videos being produced daily, fearing a future where real memories are outnumbered by fabricated ones, and noting that no AI creation can replace a moment truly lived.

Centre Proposes Reducing GST Slabs From 4 To 2, May Retain 5%, 18%: Sources
The Centre has proposed that only two slabs for Goods and Services Tax (GST) be retained - 5 per cent and 18 percent - as per sources. Under this proposal, 90 per cent of the items in the 28 per cent will be moved to the 18 per cent slab, while 99 per cent of the items in the 12 per cent slab will be moved to the five per cent slab, the sources added. A special 40 per cent rate will apply to luxury and sin goods, which include tobacco, gutkha and cigarettes. The 40 per cent category will have just 5-7 items, according to the government sources, but will exclude aspirational items like refrigerator, air conditioner and washing machine. Further, petroleum products will continue to remain outside the GST regime even in revamped indirect tax structure. The total incidence of taxation will remain at the current level of 88 per cent. Sources said that the proposed GST revamp is expected to give consumption a big boost, which will offset revenue loss due to rate rationalisation. The proposed GST revamp comes hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi said during the Independence Day address that GST reforms will be brought for "double Diwali". This was apart from otehr significant announcements like a task force for next-generation reforms, a national deep water exploration mission for self-reliance in energy, and an indigenous "Sudarshan Chakra" defence system by 2035.
