Using search engines to identify fake vs real

I was browsing through a forum late last night and I came across a thread that allgedly states ‘Jagan’ built a big house (bigger than that of Ambani’s house in Mumbai) . There is some investing that is ongoing on the ownership and the money behind it. That topic is out of the scope of this blog.

So, the pictures that were posted only have pictures of bedrooms (as identified by one user) and a glance at them made me feel like they belonged to various hotels since there is no single theme(just a thought). I took the url of a picture and put it on tineye ( a reverse image search engine ) . Looking at the results made me realize that the images displayed were fake. 

A reverse image search engine gets the images based on the image as input like Google does it for text. The image is read and it will try to match the image. This is a sample use case.

What can possible go wrong in an evening

• realizing the procedure you were following since 6 times is bad
• raining when stepped out of the office
• power cut on the street I travelled on along with the traffic travelling at 3kmph
• stuck in rain on bike for 20 min 
• delayed the plan by 3 hours

I was excited when I saw the smoke as the rain drops try to cool off the hot tar that is being laid on the flyover that is to be opened in the next few weeks/days.
