Miscellaneous

Here are a few news reports that I wrote during my training at The Times of India’s journalism school. At the threshold of becoming professional journalists, we trainees tried our hands at news reporting, just like cub reporters. These were then published in the school’s lab journal Times Enquirer. Here are a few samples of my fruits of labour from those days, in their original form, including the glitches of language and touches of inexperience.
