“You can wear a mask and paint your face
You can call yourself the human race
You can wear a collar and a tie
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside”
- John Lennon

A video showing police officers laughing during a press conference on the Coimbatore child murder case has triggered backlash on social media. Users criticised the conduct by the officials as Tamil Nadu continues to react strongly to the brutal killing.

💔This is absolutely horrific. A 10-year-old girl abducted, assaulted, and murdered in Sulur, Coimbatore. The fact that the Inspector General, Ramya Bharathi, was seen laughing and joking during the press conference about this tragedy is beyond comprehension.
The NEET paper leak wasn't discovered by police officers, investigators, or intelligence agencies.
Had it not been for a hostel owner and a Chemistry teacher, the leak would have never come to light.
Here's a succinct account of how it was exposed:
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is worse than a national disgrace: given its repeated, egregious failure to root out corruption and fraud in the conduct of common entrance examinations, it is a clear and present danger to the well-being, especially the mental health, of millions of young men and women. As The Hindu’s editorial comments: “It would be a crime to allow the NTA to continue with its inept conduct of common entrance exams…NEET [National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test] was introduced as a measure to bring into play a single, standardised, and transparent entrance exam for medical admissions. But the transparency that it has so far shown is of an entirely different kind: leaks and breaches of confidentiality.” https://t.co/GIbzXp91RM

NEET-UG 2026 examination was held on May 3, 2026. The exam was conducted across over 5,432 centres. These centres were located across 551 cities within India and 14 cities abroad, catering to approximately 22.79 lakh registered students
It is commonsense that in the conduct of such an exam, over a large geographical area, the question paper has a very high probability of being leaked
Such leaks have happened in the past too
The answer is not attempt to 'plug' the leaks
The answer is to abolish NEET, return the authority to the States, and for NTA to ensure that the quality and standard of such State-level exams are of uniform high quality and standard
You would never knowingly serve plastic to your family.
And yet, a simple scratch on a non-stick pan may be doing exactly that releasing thousands, even millions, of invisible particles into the food we cook every day.
This isn’t a distant environmental issue. It’s in our kitchens. In our daily lives.
These particles often carry PFAS “forever chemicals” that don’t break down in the body and are increasingly linked to cancer, hormonal imbalance, infertility, and immune disorders.
What’s more concerning?
Most of us are already exposed. Studies show these chemicals are present in the bloodstream of nearly everyone globally.
This is not about fear. It’s about awareness.
Because health isn’t built in hospitals alone it is shaped every day at home, through the choices we make.
Maybe it is time to rethink what we cook with.
A simple shift to safer materials like stainless steel or cast iron could be one of the most powerful preventive health decisions we make.
The question isn’t whether this affects us.
The question is what will we choose to change?

"Government thinks about projects in a hugely broad way. If it is a something that’s got to be achieved, that you can’t do just by writing a regulation or publishing a guideline, then typically government will treat it as a ‘project.’"
