No Papers to read in the morning, no milk for coffee, all shops closed, power cut6s and fluctuations on and often with wifey yelling 'Light chalee gayee'; get off the comp; we have to spend the whole day on the UPS etc. With such vociferous exhortations,can only sit and meditate and chant: mera Bharat mahaan !! and cooling ones heels, before the PC, which refuses to print. Why Col? Is there no print possibility? Oscillating between clues, up and down , back and forth, caused an eyestrain and gave up the battle. Please do advise how to save the puzzle in print form.An excellent elephant form.Good job, Arden. Took me back to the Giant puzzles I used to do in Nairobi from the Times of London, carrying 500 st Pounds prize which was never won, anyway, since I was always late in submission due to time zones.My cup of woes floweth and floweth and spilleth and spilleth, as are my tears !!

Thanks Col., Arden & Interrobang for all that you have done. Missed solving Sankalk's today as we did not get the paper.
ReplyDeleteGood morning. Today, Fri Sep 21, there could be crossword bundh, unless the boss improvises something...
ReplyDeleteToday's TH, alas, carries crossword 10573 already published and solved in the blog yesterday.
This is going to be a new problem. The online edition is carrying 10574!!
ReplyDeleteThe THC App however is showing the CW No 10573 but with todays date!!
DeleteLuckily the post from Bhavan in Orkut seems to give the correct 10574
DeleteAnyways, it B's on the rota today and he seems to have got hold of it.
DeleteThe print ed of Bang ed just arrived has both the crosswords and has thus probably managed to confuse the app !
DeleteGood discovery Kishore I didn't look at the other pages.
DeleteSo that settles it.
Kudos to setters, solvers & col. CW lovers enjoyed y'day & the day before.
ReplyDeleteThree cheers to Arden for entertaining us with the Jumbo yesterday
