I report campus and city stories that still have names attached. Recent work: the night canteen after the kitchen closes, CST after the last local, and a monsoon that showed up in the inbox before it hit the street.

From the notebook
Jun 2026
Hotplates after the kitchen shuts
The late edition is not a romance. It is three students, a gas leak that was not, and a page that still has to close.

Delay notes in the stationmaster's hand
CST after the last local is a waiting room with no chairs. The people who stay have somewhere they still need to be.

The forecast as a rumor with a timestamp
Hostel groups get the rain before the street does. The story is who believes the alert, and who still carries a spare pair of chappals.
