I again had a lot irritation solving this one. I had the answers down in very little time but could not fit the clues to them. Also, the number of direct, i.e., non- cryptic clues is too high. I request Nita Jaggi to restore her crosswords to the normal Hindu standards.

There is a standard for The Hindu? That's news to me.
