Comedian Vir Das’s Twitter post showing a neighbour threatening to sneeze on him points to a growing global trend of people using sneezes & coughs as threats.

Ms. Pothukuchi indulges a lie when she states that “all such videos were later found to be fake and debunked”. Indeed, most of these videos were fake. However, quite a few of them were NOT. Many vegetable vendors were indeed spitting on the vegetables. Certain “overzealous” news channels even managed to track down the culprits. When confronted, these people always had a convenient excuse. I can distinctly remember the daughter of an old vegtable seller claiming that he is mentally unsound and hence indulges in such acts.
However, to prove one’s secular credentials one often has to brush under the carpet such inconvenient truths and resort of half-truths and outright lies.
