    Perfectly right, Deepak. My first ref was to the last line of yesterday's last post.

    And talking of bills, the one given in my first post gets past the bill, crop and cloaca.

    Vijay @ 13;31

    It is ROMA.

    Variety of tomato = ROMA
    given to westbound Eros = ROMA<- (Eros = AMOR)
    in Italy = ROMA

    I feel the poor attendance here is certainly because of CV's absence. He would pep up a discussion on any subject and goad others into it with his wit and humour.

    Bhargav, if you happen to be here, please post an update. Our continued prayers and wishes for your brother's faster recovery are assured.

    A caveat to people who do the ET crossie Bangalore Ed.

    Today's grid printed (ET4608) is defective. An entire line exactly similar to the bottom line has not been printed at the top.
