The answer is in today's crossword.<br /><br />Second clue came from Kishore @ 9:55 <i>The last of the teens is always interesting times </i><br /><br />The answer is 19D. Now split the word as and how you want in second and third slots.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04181639742047074494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-47658397138353642352014-05-26T17:33:06.039+05:302014-05-26T17:33:06.039+05:30MB @ 4:10 mridang!

Anyway I'm happy to get 2 of the 7 fifteen letter words. After 6:00 PM I could get one more i.e. 8A = ENGUARD but am not sure if it's correct. Friend Ajeesh too raised a doubt about it. <br /><br />Looking forward to your next Special.

I would like to point out the following.<br />Your 10D must have been a record of sorts as it had 7 unches (unchecked letters) even 2 unches are frowned upon at times. moreover there was no homophone indicator besides the fact that nickles are not dimes.<br />The entire crossword with just 22 clues had too many E type clues making it more in the fashion of an Easy CW rather than a Cryptic.<br />You have not responded to some of the queries raised by the commenters like that on 8A and 15A.<br />Some of the other shortcomings were pointed out yesterday.Deepak Gopinathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337043600355573557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-2544124486079074992014-05-26T14:00:54.512+05:302014-05-26T14:00:54.512+05:30I didn't notice it until you told me.

MY comments posted yesternight , late, lest ye-all have missed it !<br /><br />Thanks ye-all for your comments and only minor barbs.<br /><br />Richard: I 'm sorry for those abominable 15 lettered answers. It was my intention to do away with those first at the periphery and do the innards. MY Wren & Martin is a bit tatty and I was too much in a hurry to complete the task at hand which seemed to me to be too much to have been taken up. I was getting frustrated with the power outages , compelling me to redo all over, over a period of five hours.<br /><br />MB: If you found any resemblance to any cluing similarities to any other crossword or compiler, it was purely unintentional and incidental. I was too busy compiling an original one. Did YOU find the puzzle tough?<br /><br />Padmanabhan: sure, I'll try and put in more cryptic clues in my next. Shubh aarambh toh kar diya ! I'm not very familiar with the facilitator I was using and had to struggle to get the grid first and then the fills. I've now learnt the tricks.<br /><br />CV: if we think more, we will find more reasons. They are as plentiful as blackberries. Thanks for picking cherries in my raspberries , as I was only trying to pick the lowest available berries. However, i bow to the Elderberry tree !<br /><br />Ajeesh and Abhay and Venkatesh: Thanks for your valuable comments.<br /><br />Suresh: Paradigm shift is a buzz-word that is commonly used nowadays and i found it convenient to use it. Peculiarity of the English language where the digm is pronounced as dime ! <br /><br />My next one will be a mixed bag and more in keeping with the Special that we are all used to. Brace yourself, ye-all. Thanks for your active participation and a SPECIAL thanks to dear Col for allowing me to break the cue balls in the crossboard.<br /><br />raju umamaheswarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107883886526369417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-31593406865575492872014-05-26T11:31:10.167+05:302014-05-26T11:31:10.167+05:30The 3rd too if you are thinking in terms of dashes...The 3rd too if you are thinking in terms of dashes.
