Then, the system will confirm that you have been registered successfully.<br />Hope this helps.Venkateshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15255416302037791392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-13161953840139546822015-09-13T13:28:39.187+05:302015-09-13T13:28:39.187+05:30By the time iI had opened the blog after solving ...By the time iI had opened the blog after solving this baby-steps puzzle-- good start--- all the clues were gobbled up.

That was sometime in the early Seventies but those were the days when we did not have Internet and solcial networking.<br /><br />If any budding setter were to try his work on someone, it can only be among relatives or friends. Often there may not be any interested among them.<br /><br />(People may throw cold water on your work. When I mentioned to a relative that my puzzle was published in The Evening News of London, he said it was Christmas time when people in the UK were in holiday mood totally away from work and so my puzzle must have had a lucky chance.) <br /><br />Sending the work to newspapers or magazines in India will often be a futile exercise because most of the were using cheap syndicated items even if they had a puzzle section. Years later when a paper started an original crossword it was by the entrenched panel members with outsiders having no chance to break in.<br /><br />So people like us had to wait for years before our work saw the light of day.<br /><br />If I got a chance, it was only because a friend, a former colleague, in charge of a Christian youth magazine from Madras, knowing my interest in the game, invited me to contribute cryptic on a regular basis. This was in the Seventies.<br /><br />Later if puzzles appeared in The Telegraph and Sportsworld, again it was because of 'contacts' - not that I ingratiated myself into them and cultivated them consciously but just that as I was a journalist they existed.<br /><br />Much later when I was on the staff of a certain paper organisation, it was more than a decade before I became a member of the crossword setters' panel of that paper.<br /><br />Things are not attained by sudden flight.Chaturvasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00284780490945841507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-74755703720899565092015-09-13T12:10:38.945+05:302015-09-13T12:10:38.945+05:30Nice Puzzle....good mix of clues...Nice Puzzle....good mix of clues...Vasanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032858551414707310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-56372599941689291622015-09-13T12:09:57.138+05:302015-09-13T12:09:57.138+05:3019A ALLEGRO Meaning happy in Italian
