Fix You, or Fix Your LinkedIn Bio?
As the Business Head for The Times of India, I lead strategic initiatives and drive growth for one of the nation's most influential media organisations. My journalist friends believe I've crossed over to the proverbial dark side. Living on the edges of a dynamic newsroom, I dabble infrequently into these times that we live and believe in the spectatorial axiom – 'distance provides perspective'. LESS ... MORE There are two kinds of people in this world: those who go to Coldplay concerts, and those who wake up the next morning wishing they hadn't. [ I belong to a near-extinct tribe that doesn't do concerts, doesn't do mosh pits— I do playlists, at home, with tea or any other beverage and full WiFi.] July 16, Levi's Stadium, California. The kind of night where 65,000 people hum Fix You in unison, and one CEO fixes himself firmly in the annals of HR history. The scene: the Kiss Cam. The players: Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, married, father, boardroom evangelist. Kristin Cabot, Chief People Officer, architect of 'award-winning cultures,' LinkedIn priestess of psychological safety. They don't kiss. But they don't not kiss either. They squirm, huddle, recoil, and try not to look like what they clearly are. From the stage, Chris Martin pauses mid-ballad like he's spotted an ethical breach in 4K. 'Either they're having an affair… or they're just very shy.' Mic. Dropped. It's unclear whether Chris Martin meant to become an ethics officer that night. But somewhere between Viva La Vida and The Scientist, he accidentally launched a corporate compliance movement. He didn't just stop at the quip. 'We don't want to ruin a marriage… unless it's already ruined.' Which is the kind of emotional fine print you'd expect from a band that once made millions cry over a yellow balloon. A culture-building exercise in front of 65,000 strangers You can spend months crafting a people strategy. Designing DEI training modules. Organising trust falls and 'courageous conversations.' Or you can just speed-run the whole process with one unfortunate cuddle on a stadium jumbotron and let Twitter decide. Kristin Cabot's LinkedIn—still live as of this writing—reads like a satirical masterclass in misplaced irony: 'I lead by example and win trust with employees of all levels, from CEOs to managers to assistants.' Ma'am, no one doubted that part. Astronomer hired her barely nine months ago to scale culture. Well, she scaled something. Meanwhile, Andy Byron's wife—an educator—quietly dropped Byron from her social handles and presumably began her own training module titled 'Detecting Red Flags at 200 Yards.' The Meme-ification of HR The internet responded with the tenderness of a performance review gone wrong. 'Mistress? No, Head of Internal Affairs.' 'Trust-building offsite. Location: Row 12, Seat C.' 'KPI = Kiss Performance Index.' One fan posted: 'CEO is married. This is not his wife. Four rows in front of me.' No drama. No thread. Just the kind of deadpan mic drop that makes HR recoil harder than Andy did when the camera zoomed in. And while the world dissected this, something else happened Enter: The Other Andy Byron 2,000 miles away, another Andy Byron—a graphic designer from Dublin—woke up to a digital storm he did not order. His LinkedIn was buzzing. Comments piling up. People assuming he was that Andy Byron. The Kiss Cam guy. He responded not with panic, but performance: 'NOT THE GUY FROM THE COLDPLAY GIG!!' And then, the pièce de résistance: 'I wouldn't be caught dead at a Coldplay concert. I make videos for big screens, not the guy who gets caught on them.' If LinkedIn had an Oscar for Best Crisis Pivot, we'd be polishing his trophy. He even updated his headline: 'Helping your brand go viral (for the right reasons).' Somewhere, the real Andy Byron was deleting his account. This Andy? Picking up clients. Soon he'll be giving a TEDTalk on 'How to trend on LinkedIn without cheating on your wife' The Post-Script Summary What we witnessed wasn't just a PR disaster. It was a generational parable. One Andy Byron got exposed. The other got endorsed. One HR head became a meme. Chris Martin went from frontman to HR compliance officer. And the rest of us learnt that in the age of Kiss Cams and cached bios, personal branding is both shield and sword. TL;DR: Be careful what you kiss at a concert. Be clearer about who you are on LinkedIn. And if Chris Martin ever pauses to comment on your body language mid-Fix You, your quarterly review's already gone off the rails.

'Our Safe Home' initiative to promote cohesive society, family stability
Suhar: The General Directorate of Social Development in Al Batinah North Governorate has officially launched the 'Our Safe Home' initiative, aiming to strengthen family bonds and promote societal stability. The event, hosted at Al Khaleej Hall in the Wilayat of Saham, was held under the auspices of Dr Khalid bin Ali al Alawi, General-Director of Consumer Protection in the governorate, and was attended by community leaders, social specialists and local families. This initiative reflects the Ministry of Social Development's broader commitment to fostering a cohesive, resilient society, which is one of the key pillars of Oman Vision 2040. By supporting family well-being and raising awareness of evolving social dynamics, the programme contributes directly to the Vision's priority of empowering human capital and safeguarding the identity and unity of Omani society. Three impactful presentations were featured at the launch. The first, "Red Flags," delivered by Mohannad al Jahwari, focused on early indicators of family distress and the importance of early intervention. The second, "Generation Z in a World of Comparisons," presented by Thuraya al Qartoobi, tackled the pressures faced by young people, especially those stemming from social media, peer comparison, and identity development. The final presentation, "Digital Upbringing in a Rapid World," by Laila al Mazrouei, discussed how digital life is reshaping parenting methods and communication within families. A closing panel discussion moderated by psychologist Ali al Zadjali offered further reflection on how Omani families can adapt to rapid societal and technological changes. The event witnessed a wide range of attendees, proving the popularity of the concepts discussed. Alia al Balushi, a mother from Saham, said, "It gave me real insight into the digital world my children are growing up in." Salim al Hosni, a university student, added, "Hearing professionals talk about our generation's struggles made me feel supported and understood." By launching such initiatives, the ministry contributes meaningfully to the goals of Oman Vision 2040, building a socially secure, mentally resilient, and future-ready nation.
