I grew up in the city of Ranchi. My father, even though he now reads The Times of India, used to read The Indian Express back in the late 1980s. The Delhi edition of the newspaper came to Ranchi in the evening. And sometimes we also got a dak edition, which carried the day before yesterday’s news. (Yes, those were the days. News really took time to travel, unlike in this day and age when celebrities are declared dead, even before they have died).
