You might eat it by kilos'.<br /><br /><br />Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04181639742047074494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-46224230944160082762015-01-01T14:36:23.578+05:302015-01-01T14:36:23.578+05:30Sorry friends, I had guests and could not fully li...Sorry friends, I had guests and could not fully list the theme words. I still vividly remember that the first and last passages of the first Robin Cook book I read, Coma, were identical. Both are in the OT and have a catchphrase "something was wrong, something was very wrong" - in the first case due to the patient slipping into a coma and at the end due to the presence of the police outside the OT.Kishorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398234335975124266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-14171898653258494822015-01-01T14:00:04.058+05:302015-01-01T14:00:04.058+05:30HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYBODYHAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYBODYSureshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12985297587673755564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-16669159737955974222015-01-01T13:57:17.683+05:302015-01-01T13:57:17.683+05:30Add to that Outbreak, Crisis, Shock and SphinxAdd to that Outbreak, Crisis, Shock and SphinxDeepak Gopinathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337043600355573557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-75176548642025791282015-01-01T11:39:35.244+05:302015-01-01T11:39:35.244+05:30Mindbend to be added to the list.

...Friends<br />First of all, Happy New Year to everyone.<br />Having gone to the temple at around 6 a.m. for some voluntary work and to be in the midst of devotees thronging on the New Year's Day and Vaikunta Ekadasi, I returned home just now.<br />Well, there is a ghost theme in this puzzle. Something which escaped my own mind when I was revising this puzzle and also, it seems, a pre-solver. It struck me after I read these comments.<br />Now, will anyone try to exorcise the ghost?<br />When once the theme is discovered, 32a should resolve itself. <br /> Chaturvasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00284780490945841507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-76258134920215366832015-01-01T10:24:33.849+05:302015-01-01T10:24:33.849+05:30Note not, a penny for your thoughtsNote not, a penny for your thoughtsKishorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398234335975124266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-4740191587947953572015-01-01T10:22:59.078+05:302015-01-01T10:22:59.078+05:30Yesterday's NOUN CASE turned out to be COIN CA...Yesterday's NOUN CASE turned out to be COIN CASE after all, as everyone suggestedDeepak Gopinathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337043600355573557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-23903846711476046002015-01-01T09:03:17.138+05:302015-01-01T09:03:17.138+05:30I don't know any more since Kishore's expl...I don't know any more since Kishore's explanation seems plausible.
