THE WEEK India

The heat is on! The historic Coldplay concert at the Gillette Stadium in the US will go down as one of the most memorable music events in recent times. And the achievement has nothing to do with music! The global controversy has to do with an incriminating image flashed on a jumbo screen during the show. The villain is technology, and a device called the 'kiss cam' widely used during concerts to capture candid shots of canoodling couples. It is seen as a harmless distraction—a gimmick nobody takes seriously.

Hot scene and Coldplay

But this time, all hell broke loose when the couple caught on the 'kiss cam' turned out to be prominent people on a clandestine date. Add to that the workplace dynamics (he is the CEO of a company where she works as head of HR) and it was war!

Is Andy Byron the first naughty corporate honcho to be caught with his pants down? Surely, Kristin Cabot isn't the only cheating wife in the US, having a secret nookie with the boss.

Who messed up? I would say, blame Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, who quipped mid-concert, “Either they’re very shy or they are having an affair.” As Andy ducked and Kristin covered her face, they had been outed! And for some unfathomable reason, their relationship became the hottest topic across social media. So many days later, the memes are still rolling in!

THE SILENT CRISIS CANCER IN THE ELDERLY DEMANDS OUR ATTENTION

A New Year always brings me back to the same realisation. Good health does not flourish through one dramatic commitment. It grows through the quiet courage to care for oneself, every single day.

Ms. Multani notes that India's growth increasingly depends on robust healthcare, with hospitals emerging as key drivers of productivity and future competitiveness

Why Health Infrastructure Matters More Than EverA 2024 meta-review found that improvements in public health consistently contribute to higher GDP per capita growth, especially in developing countries undergoing demographic transition. Good health enables a workforce that is more productive, less prone to absenteeism, and capable of longer, healthier working lives. For India, with a median age under 30 and a workforce numbering over 500 million, the stakes are enormous. A healthy working-age population today is the real capital for the India of 2030-2040.
