nice one
ReplyDelete100%.Thanks Sankalak for keeping his art of making the solvers elated and jubilant at the end of the solving.
Mathu
Too many simple clues (16,25,28,2,6 and 22) for a Cryptic CW. Does it indicate some laziness in clueing?
ReplyDeleteSimplicity has always been Sankalak's hallmark.
ReplyDeleteDespite the abundance of CDs today, the puzzle itself was enjoyable.
Enjoyable but kicking myself for not getting antenatal.
ReplyDeleteCol.-21D- DL could be decilitre for 100 ml.
Honestly, I find Sankalak boring. Finish the crossword at express speed with no thrill of solving something difficult
ReplyDeleteOnce again 100 % :) Good but not as good as yesterdays puzzle.
ReplyDeletePadmanabhan,
Col has given a link for decilitre.
A gentle breeze!
ReplyDeleteBERLIN had to be guessed, but nothing else fit with the crossings
Ajeesh,
ReplyDeleteI mistook the question mark in the puzzle to be that of Col.Also failed to see the link.
100%. am just new to this. and managed to pull it off!
