Hey there! If you’re scrolling through September 2025, you’ll find three stories that sparked a lot of chatter. We’ve broken them down so you can grab the key points fast and decide which one to read next.
Vishnudas, a 78‑year‑old from India, has been saving lottery tickets for more than five decades. His collection now fills several boxes and looks more like a tiny museum than clutter. He’s trying to lock his obsession into the Guinness World Records. The story isn’t just about numbers; it shows how a simple habit can turn into a lifelong passion and the hurdles he faces with paperwork and bureaucracy.
The internet is buzzing with Google’s Gemini Nano AI tool, nicknamed “Banana” because it turns selfies into glossy figurines or Bollywood‑style portraits. The tool adds SynthID watermarks to help trace images, but privacy experts and an IPS officer warn that uploading photos can expose personal data to scams and misuse. If you’re curious about how the AI works, we’ve laid out the steps and tips to keep your data safe.
At the same time, Mahindra announced a huge price cut on its SUV range after the GST Council rolled out a new tax structure (GST 2.0). The cuts, up to Rs 1.56 lakh, hit popular models like the XUV3XO, Scorpio‑N, Thar, Bolero, and XUV700. The move aims to boost festive‑season sales and could push other manufacturers to lower prices faster. We’ve broken down how the savings differ by variant and state, so you can see if a Mahindra SUV fits your budget.
All three pieces share a common thread: big changes that affect everyday life. Whether it’s a personal obsession chasing a world record, a viral AI trend that could risk your privacy, or a car price drop that puts a new ride within reach, September 2025 gave us plenty to think about.
