Top parenting coach shares how to teach sons to choose the right friends at every age
Having good friends is a blessing. They are the ones who support, respect and bring the best out of you. For parents, especially those raising sons, one of the biggest concerns is the kind of friendship their child forms.Top parenting coach Wendy Ologe says, the goal of parenting is not to raise a child who simply finds good friends, but to raise one who can recognize healthy friendships. Since the meaning of friendship changes from childhood to adulthood, so does the guidance children need. Heres what parents need to teach sons so they choose the right friends at every age. Age 3 to 6Friendship should be full of kindness and safety. At this age, friendship is simple. According to the parenting expert, at this age, parents should teach children three things: A friend is someone who is kind, not someone who is loud, popular, or dominant.Friends do not hit, bully, hurt, or take things without asking.It is okay to move away from someone who makes you feel unsafe, scared, or sad.Age 7 to 10 This is where influence begins. As children grow older, friends start playing a bigger role in shaping their behaviour. They begin comparing themselves with others, following group habits, and seeking acceptance. At this age, teach your child these four things: Not everyone who plays with you is someone who helps you grow.Good friends encourage you to make better choices, not push you toward disrespectful behaviour.If you constantly get into trouble because of someone, that friendship needs to be questioned.Friends should respect teachers, rules, and boundaries.Age 11 to 13This is where friendship starts forming identity.The pre-teen years can be challenging because the need to belong becomes stronger. Children may start changing their behaviour to fit in or gain approval.At this stage, parents can help sons understand:You do not have to change who you are to be accepted.Being popular is not the same as having good character.Friends can influence your confidence, values, and decisions.Pay attention to: Do I like the person I become around this friend?Age 14 to 17Friendships can shape the direction of life.Teenage years bring greater independence. Friend groups can influence habits, communication style, priorities, and even future decisions.Parents can guide teenagers to understand:Friends influence your habits, language, discipline, and mindset.The people around you often shape the direction you move in.Setting boundaries is important, even with long-term friends.It is okay to outgrow friendships respectfully.Age 18 and above In adulthood, friendships become alignment.As young adults step into the world, they begin choosing relationships based on their own values and goals.Parents can encourage them to:Choose friends who align with their purpose, not just their comfort.Remember that the people you spend the most time with can influence your mindset and lifestyle.Build friendships that bring growth, respect, and honesty.Never compromise integrity for acceptance.Teaching Sons About Friendship Is Teaching Them About LifeThe friends children choose can influence their confidence, behaviour, values, and future. But the ultimate goal is not to pick their friends for them, it is to raise children who can recognise healthy relationships on their own.When boys learn kindness in childhood, awareness in adolescence, and wisdom in adulthood, they carry a lifelong ability to choose friendships that support who they want to become.

Medicines Are Not Mere Merchandise: Why India Needs a Modern E-Pharmacy Law
India's pharmaceutical future may well be digital. The responsibility of policymakers is to ensure that it is also safe, transparent, and worthy of public trust K.V. CHANDRAMOULI India's pharmaceutical laws were designed for an era of neighbourhood chemists and paper prescriptions. As online medicine sales expand rapidly, the challenge is to harness digital convenience without compromising patient safety, professional accountability, and public health . A Growing Controversy in Digital Healthcare On 20 May 2026, the Chemists and Druggists Association of Goa joined a nationwide protest involving nearly 12 lakh wholesale and retail pharmaceutical outlets. Their grievance was not merely commercial competition from online pharmacies, but the absence of a comprehensive regulatory framework governing the sale of medicines through digital platforms. The protest has revived an important public policy question: Should medicines be treated like any other commodity sold through e-commerce platforms, or do they require a distinct regulatory architecture because of their direct impact on human health and life? The answer has far-reaching implications for healthcare, technology, consumer protection, and public safety. The Promise of E-Pharmacies India's e-pharmacy sector, estimated to be worth more than 1,200 crore and growing rapidly, offers undeniable advantages. Elderly patients, persons with disabilities, and residents of remote areas can access medicines without travelling long distances. Digital platforms provide price transparency, doorstep delivery, and integration with telemedicine services. During the COVID-19 pandemic, online pharmacies demonstrated their utility in maintaining continuity of treatment when physical movement was restricted. Why Medicines Are Different from Other Commodities Yet medicines are fundamentally different from books, garments, or groceries. They are potent therapeutic substances whose misuse can result in addiction, antimicrobial resistance, serious adverse effects, and even death. Consequently, the central issue is not whether e-pharmacies should exist, but whether they can be allowed to operate without adequate safeguards. India already faces a significant burden of self-medication. The Global Antibiotic Resistance Partnership estimated that nearly 20 per cent of antibiotics sold in Delhi were dispensed without valid prescriptions. Such practices contribute directly to antimicrobial resistance, which the World Health Organisation has identified as one of the gravest global public health threats of the twenty-first century. Unregulated online access could further aggravate this problem by facilitating easy acquisition of prescription medicines without meaningful medical supervision. Public Health Risks in the Digital Marketplace The concerns are not hypothetical. Prescription forgery, repeated use of the same prescription, online procurement of habit-forming drugs, sale of counterfeit medicines, and improper storage during transportation are all recognised risks. Unlike ordinary consumer goods, many medicines require controlled storage conditions throughout the supply chain. Vaccines, insulin preparations, biological products, and certain injectable drugs may lose efficacy if exposed to temperatures outside prescribed limits. A defective shirt may inconvenience a consumer; a defective medicine can cost a life. The Problem of Outdated Laws These concerns expose a deeper problem: India's regulatory framework was designed for a pre-digital era. The Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 The Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, enacted during British rule, remains the principal legislation governing the manufacture, sale, and distribution of drugs in India. The Act was framed at a time when pharmaceutical transactions occurred exclusively through physical establishments. Unsurprisingly, it contains no reference to internet-based sales, digital prescriptions, online platforms, electronic records, or interstate e-commerce transactions. The Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945 Similarly, the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945, were designed around conventional retail pharmacies. They prescribe requirements relating to licensed premises, physical inspections, maintenance of records, pharmacist supervision, and storage conditions. While these provisions remain relevant, they are difficult to apply in an environment where medicines may be ordered through a mobile application, stored in a warehouse hundreds of kilometres away, and delivered through third-party logistics providers. The Pharmacy Act, 1948 The Pharmacy Act, 1948, presents another challenge. The Act rightly recognises that medicines should be dispensed under the supervision of qualified pharmacists capable of identifying prescription errors, advising patients, detecting dangerous drug interactions, and ensuring proper usage. However, the law does not clearly address remote dispensing, digital pharmacist consultations, or professional accountability in online transactions. Thus, India is attempting to regulate twenty-first-century technology through legal instruments drafted more than seventy-five years ago. Judicial Intervention and International Experience This regulatory gap has repeatedly attracted judicial attention. In 2018, the Delhi High Court directed that medicines should not be sold online without adherence to statutory requirements and highlighted the absence of a clear regulatory framework. The litigation underscored a reality that policymakers can no longer ignore: digital pharmaceutical commerce has outgrown the legal architecture designed to govern it. International experience offers useful lessons. South Korea prohibits the online sale of medicines. Several European countries permit e-pharmacies but subject them to stringent licensing and verification requirements. The United States enacted the Ryan Haight Online Pharmacy Consumer Protection Act following the death of a teenager who obtained controlled substances online without adequate medical oversight. The legislation mandates valid prescriptions, registration requirements, and severe penalties for violations. India does not need to replicate any foreign model wholesale, but it cannot continue operating in a regulatory vacuum. The Case for a Dedicated E-Pharmacy Law The way forward lies neither in banning e-pharmacies nor in allowing unrestricted online sales. Instead, India requires a comprehensive E-Pharmacy Regulation Act specifically tailored to contemporary realities. Such legislation should begin by clearly defining e-pharmacies and establishing a national licensing framework under the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO). Every online pharmacy should be required to verify prescriptions through secure digital authentication systems. Prescriptions should carry unique identification numbers and digitally verifiable signatures from registered medical practitioners. Strengthening Professional Oversight Mandatory pharmacist oversight must remain non-negotiable. Technology should complement professional judgment rather than replace it. Video consultations, telephonic counselling, and documented pharmacist approvals can ensure that patients continue to receive expert guidance before medicines are dispensed. Ensuring Traceability and Enforcement The law must also establish end-to-end traceability of medicines through digital tracking systems capable of monitoring products from manufacturer to consumer. Such systems would significantly reduce the circulation of counterfeit and spurious medicines, a problem that has long plagued India's pharmaceutical sector. Equally important is strengthening enforcement capacity. State drug-control departments frequently face shortages of inspectors and technological resources. A modern regulatory system should utilise artificial intelligence, real-time transaction monitoring, and inter-state data sharing to identify suspicious purchasing patterns, forged prescriptions, and unlawful sales of controlled substances. A Risk-Based Regulatory Approach A risk-based regulatory framework is also desirable. Over-the-counter medicines may be subject to lighter controls, whereas Schedule H, H1, and X drugs should require progressively stricter levels of scrutiny and verification. Balancing Innovation with Safety The future of healthcare is undeniably digital. Telemedicine, electronic health records, wearable health technologies, and online pharmaceutical services are becoming integral components of modern healthcare delivery. Attempting to resist this transformation would be both impractical and counterproductive. However, technological innovation cannot be allowed to outpace patient safety. Medicines occupy a unique position at the intersection of commerce and healthcare. Conclusion: Building Trust in Digital Healthcare The debate over e-pharmacies should therefore move beyond the narrow conflict between traditional chemists and online businesses. The real challenge is to create a regulatory framework that preserves the convenience and efficiency of digital platforms while upholding the standards of safety, accountability, and professional oversight that healthcare demands. India's pharmaceutical future may well be digital. The responsibility of policymakers is to ensure that it is also safe, transparent, and worthy of public trust.

Rahul Gandhi blames Centre for tragic loss of 2 students over NEET re-examination
New Delhi [India], June 17 : In a commencement to his nationwide Echo of Students campaign, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Wednesday addressed the issues regarding the re-examination of NEET after the alleged suicide of two aspirants in Sikar and Dehradun. In a message shared on the social media platform X, Gandhi mourned the recent tragic loss of two young lives--Umesh in Sikar and Riya in Dehradun--who died allegedly by suicide amid the pressure surrounding the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination. I've set out for Kota, but two names are echoing in my heart: Umesh and Riya. Yesterday, Umesh in Sikar and Riya in Dehradun--both ended their lives under the pressure of Re-NEET. 22- and 23-year-old kids--who were meant to soar in the open skies of their dreams--lost to this unjust system, Gandhi said. Calling the deaths, a result of an unjust, broken, and corrupt system that has failed to protect its youth, Gandhi launched a sharp attack on the Union government. These deaths are the result of a broken, corrupt system. And the ones responsible are the Modi government and Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who, instead of protecting students, have repeatedly shielded paper leaks, exam mismanagement, and the destroyers of futures, he added. He further said he would begin a campaign from Kota aimed at preventing such incidents and called for a nationwide movement under the banner of Echo of Students. Today, from Kota, we will begin that fight with just one goal--that no child's dreams shatter like this again, that no parent ever has to lose their child in this way again. Every family's pain will now echo across the country as the 'Echo of Students.' Previously in the day, Gandhi called on students and young people across the country to unite and participate in the Echo of Students mega rally in Kota on June 17, saying that the future of the youth would determine the future of the nation. The protest is going to start at 5:30 pm in Kota. In a post on X, Gandhi alleged that paper leaks, exam mismanagement, cancelled recruitments, rising fees, privatisation and scams were shattering the dreams of millions of young Indians. He also accused the Central government of failing to fulfil its responsibility towards the country's youth. My young and Gen Z comrades, one thing is clear in my mind, and you too should etch it in your heart: securing the future of every youth in India is the government's responsibility. But responsibility and honesty--both are beyond the Modi government's way of thinking, Gandhi said. Paper leaks, exam mismanagement, cancelled recruitments, skyrocketing fees, privatisation, scams--these are the very tools with which it is shattering millions of dreams every day. Remember, the youth's future will determine the nation's future. This is what I wanted to tell you all in detail. That's why I'm calling on you--let's turn the rising 'Echo of Students' from every street, every town, every city of the country into a battle cry in Kota.

Lionel Messi becomes oldest player to score World Cup hat-trick, surpasses Cristiano Ronaldo
Missouri, June 17 : Lionel Messi, at the age of 38, has broken his contemporary and arch-rival Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo's record for the oldest player to score a hat-trick at the FIFA World Cup, according to Fox Sports. The Argentine legend opened his 2026 World Cup campaign with a brilliant hat-trick, leading Argentina to a 3-0 win over Algeria on Tuesday (local time). At 38 years and 357 days, Messi has become the oldest player in men's World Cup history to register both a brace and a hat-trick. In the process, he surpassed Ronaldo to become the oldest player to score a World Cup hat-trick, overtaking Ronaldo's record set at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, where he famously netted a hat-trick against Spain at the age of 33, according to Fox Sports. Messi, in his 200th appearance for Argentina, scored three different types of goals. Messi's first came from a powerful long-range strike in the 17th minute after a quick free-kick from Argentina's Rodrigo De Paul. His second was a close-range finish after a rebound fell kindly in the box following an effort from Mac Allister. He completed his hat-trick in the 76th minute with a composed curling finish after initiating the move himself with a mazy run. With the hat-trick, Messi registered his name in the record books for multiple accolades, the most notable being for the joint-most goals in World Cup history. Messi is now tied with Germany's Miroslav Klose on 16 goals in FIFA World Cup history. He also moved past Brazil's Ronaldo (15 goals), as well as Germany's Gerd Muller and France's Kylian Mbappe, who were both on 14 goals. Notably, Mbappe had earlier equalled Muller's tally with a brace in France's 3-1 win over Senegal earlier in the day. Notably, the hat-trick also came exactly 20 years after Messi's first World Cup goal in 2006, which came in Argentina's 6-0 win over Serbia in the 2006 World Cup, adding a historic milestone to his landmark performance.

IBA Highlights Beverage Industry's Growing Role in Waste Management and Recycling
Moving fast towards becoming a USD 40 billion market by 2030, Indian non-alcoholic beverage industry has taken up the responsibility of ensuring effective waste management as its core operational strategy and is championing the need and necessity of sustainable business by not only meeting the compliance requirements set by the government agencies but by going beyond and planning for the future. C K Jaipuria, President, Indian Beverage Association (IBA) Outlining the industry’s initiative and focus on sustainable development, President of the Indian Beverage Association (IBA), Mr. C K Jaipuria said, “ Driven by the strict mandates under India's amended Plastic Waste Management Rules and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) targets requiring 100% recovery and recycling – the industry is constantly working on driving unprecedented efficiency in the circular economy. The three core pillars to optimize waste management are -- lightweight engineering, institutionalized digital collection networks, and the fast-tracked adoption of Food-Grade Recycled PET (r-PET) .” “ The most efficient way to manage waste is to rationalize material entering the ecosystem in the first place. In this regard, Indian bottling giants have engineered aggressive material reduction programs at the production level ,” added Mr. Jaipuria . The stress on preforming optimization has led to refinement in injection-molding technology, which has allowed companies to reduce the weight of standard PET preforms by 10% to 20% across high-volume packs ranging from 600ml to 2.25L. “ Along with this, the closure downsizing is leading to the neck profiles and plastic cap closures for Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSD), juices, and packaged water witnessing weight reductions of 20% to 25%, which is significantly curbing upstream raw polymer consumption ,” said Mr. Jaipuria. The IBA President further outlined that, “ The urgency of meeting the central government's scaling EPR targets has been taken up by the beverage industry in the form of formalizing India’s historically fragmented, informal waste-picking ecosystem. This has been catalysed by the Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs) and the industry leaders are executing nationwide reclamation strategies via deep joint ventures with specialized PROs such as GEM Enviro and Saahas Zero Waste .” This socio-economic formalization through these networks is systematically mapping and incentivizing thousands of local kabadiwalas and waste-pickers. By offering guaranteed buy-back pricing, digital weight verification, and direct-benefit payouts, the system is guaranteeing a high-velocity, clean inflow of post-consumer waste. Adoption of technology through data intelligence platforms by utilizing specialized circular economy platforms like Race Eco Chain and Banyan Nation, beverage brands now track plastic waste digitally from the initial collection point to the processing mill, generating audit-ready, CPCB-compliant (Central Pollution Control Board) plastic credits with absolute traceability. Mr. Jaipuria added that while the above measures are streamlining the waste management efforts, the goal of the industry and the committed efficiency drive is to transition from downcycling --- turning bottles into low-value textile fibers -- to a true bottle-to-bottle circular economy. “ In this backdrop, to enhance availability of food-grade r-PET access, major players have established large-scale joint ventures with global polymer processors like Indorama to set up advanced washing and resin-manufacturing units. This has unlocked the massive commercial rollout of 100% recycled PET bottles for select flagship product lines, with industry-wide targets aiming for 30% r-PET integration across core portfolios ,” he said. Another step is to bring in sustainable multi-layer cartons for non-carbonated segments and major packaging partners such as Tetra Pak have integrated certified recycled polymers into their multi-layer carton lines in India, which is successfully matching strict FSSAI food-safety standards while mitigating multi-layered plastic disposal challenges. The efficiency metrics are no doubt climbing, but maintaining this momentum requires mitigation of two critical challenges, said Mr. Jaipuria. “ First is the Quality-Grade Deficit. It needs to be understood that producing food-grade r-PET requires highly efficient and pure post-consumer collection streams. The hard reality is if the plastic is contaminated at the municipal dumping stage, it loses its structural integrity for bottle-to-bottle recycling. The industry needs to invest deeper in source-segregation awareness and smart collection kiosks at the consumer touchpoint, and it requires local government and consumers’ support to achieve this objective ,” he added. According to the IBA President, above all, navigating state-level disparities adds to unnecessary hassle and compliance burden. “ While the central CPCB portal provides a unified framework, actual municipal infrastructure and waste-handling fees vary drastically across states. Beverage manufacturers need standardized, single-window municipal access frameworks to optimize their reverse-logistics networks across differing geographies .” “ The Indian non-alcoholic beverage industry is marching ahead and taking the lead in the waste management march under the sustainable growth paradigm with full understanding that the effort will gain further momentum with the support of all the stakeholders – consumers, government and civil society ,” said Mr. Jaipuria .
