On Friday, mid-day featured a report about a 40-something Parsi woman who committed suicide. She had jumped off her home's balcony, police said. There were accounts that stated she was depressed.

That being said, it was the run up to the news that holds a lesson for us all. Even as news was filtering in that a woman was found lying in a Fort street, the WhatsApp community was buzzing with wild and unwarranted conjecture.
