His game has always depended more on athleticism and finishing instincts. While Messi has evolved into a playmaker; Ronaldo is still searching for that next reinvention.Gregory FernandesMumbaiFocus on cyber securityA 19-year old student recently found big security flaws in the CBSE website which shows a huge problem with how we handle technology.India is rushing to put everything online but completely forgetting to protect it. The website had simple careless mistakes like leaving master passwords in the code for anyone to see. This meant anyone could have changed student marks or leaked private information.When government groups ignore these warnings or make excuses instead of fixing them they put millions of people at risk. Cyberattacks are rising fast every year and we need to act with greater vigourTo fix this the government must hire external experts to test all public websites for bugs on a regular basis.Vijaykumar HKRaichurMonsoon worriesApropos ‘Climate change could make monsoons’ (June 20). The EL Nino effect causes monsoon vagaries and lead to either abnormal rainfall or below average rainfall.Efficient groundwater management for irrigation purpose, developing water resilient crops, crop rotation, increasing soil fertility and making modern agricultural practice with precision agriculture are the ways to manage the monsoon variation.NR NagarajanSivakasiWelcome diktatThe decision of the Union government to remove cough syrups from Schedule K of the Drugs Rules, 1945— the list of medicines that can be sold without a prescription — is a belated but necessary acknowledgment of a persistent regulatory failure.Cough syrups while recognised as medicines, have benefited from exemptions that enabled their sale through channels subject to weaker oversight than licensed pharmacies. This has fostered a culture of self-medication.Hence there is greater need stringent monitoring of cough syrup sales.M JeyaramSholavandan (TN)Published on June 21, 2026Sign into Unlock benefits!Access 10 free stories per monthAccess to comment on every storySign up/Manage to our newslettersGet notified by email for early preview to new features, discounts & offers${ ind + 1 } ${ device }Last active - ${ la }
