Field notes
The homepage separates stories into India, Technology, and Science, with navigation also listing World, Business, Culture, and Opinion. Each visible item pairs a fictional headline with a short explanatory deck; one carries a byline and Mumbai dateline, and the page explicitly says names and stories are invented. The extract shows three stories, so the wider section labels are visible but their contents are not established here.
