  1. Col,

    I am not sure if you have thought about it before - But why don't you also put up a javascript version of the crossword on this page. It should be fairly simple to do - and will be VERY helpful for those who dont get Hindu in their cities (like many north Indian cities) and dont want to print out a page every day (which is such a waste!)

    See if it makes sense - I would have done it myself, but I can never be as regular as you are..

  4. Dear Anonymous,
    You will have to send me instructions on how to add a javascript version of the crossword as I am not a computer geek
