Glastonbury's mystery band Patchwork were Pulp, after all
Turns out the rumors were true—Glastonbury’s surprise act Patchwork was actually Britpop legends Pulp in disguise. Frontman Jarvis Cocker spilled the beans, confirming what festival-goers had already guessed. It’s a fun little nod to their 1995 heyday when they headlined the iconic fest.
Editor’s Note: For music fans, especially those who lived through the ’90s Britpop era, this is a delightful blast from the past.

Ministers call for review of 'socialist, secular' words in preamble
neutralTop Stories
Some government ministers are pushing to reevaluate the inclusion of the words "socialist" and "secular" in the preamble of India's Constitution, arguing these terms may no longer align with the country's current values. This move has sparked debate, with critics seeing it as an attempt to reshape India's foundational principles.
Editor’s Note: The preamble is like the soul of India's Constitution—it defines the nation's core ideals. Tweaking it isn't just a legal change; it's a symbolic shift that could signal a broader ideological direction. Whether you see this as updating outdated language or eroding historical commitments depends on where you stand, but either way, it's a conversation that goes beyond semantics.

Editor’s Note: Earthquakes in this region are always a cause for concern—Pakistan sits on active fault lines, and even moderate quakes can be dangerous in areas with weaker buildings. While this one seems to have spared major destruction, it’s a reminder of how unpredictable seismic activity can be, especially in places still recovering from past disasters.
