Seshadri's Musings

We all would have memories of our parents making us go to school and read so that one day we can become the masters of our destiny.  We had been told that once you acquire knowledge, you can have the world at your feet and live like a king!  Alas, nothing like that happens.  The knowledge that you acquire, and how you use that knowledge in your life is what makes your life. Destiny is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans.  You might have your interest in other things, but you have to constantly look out for the signs that destiny is showing you.  Of course, you still get to make your own destiny if you can see and act on the things that are happening to you.  If you and your destiny’s path-forward merges and becomes one, you get to lead a comfortable life.  If you do not agree with your destiny and ignore the signs that it is providing you, then get ready for a hell-ride of a life!!

Ads are something that we sometimes eagerly look forward to, especially if we are seeing them the first time.  Since my childhood, I have been seeing ads at regular intervals, but I haven’t come across a period where I can spot mistakes in multiple ads being run during the same time!!  The other day, I was watching the India-Sri Lanka Test cricket in Star Sport and the ads that I saw were filled with mistakes (in my opinion) which made me sit and write this blog. The first ad was of iPhone-X.  The copyright claims that that it has the highest security in any phone.  The reason for this is that it can be unlocked with Face-ID.  For laymen/laywomen, it means you just show your face to the phone and it opens 😊.  Now imagine a scenario wherein you have been kidnapped.  The kidnapper does not have to bother asking you the password for your iPhone!! He just waves it in front of your face to unlock and use the date.  Ditto for CIA and other agencies who are now going to court asking Ap
