ReplyDelete(-r)ANA{+R}
Thanks Sandhya. However just 'Rana to go back...' would have worked equally well
DeleteDeepak,
ReplyDeleteI think it's not just reversal. As SP's anno indicates, the letter R (right) in RANA moves from one end to another to become ANAR.
Having said that, now I see what you mean, Deepak.

ReplyDeleteFrom yesterday's 11 to today's 5 hits ? Where's everyone?
ReplyDeleteWhen the sun sheds its shyness here in NY and lifts the veil of mystique , I see only Strollers, featherbeds and cradles in the Stuyvesant Park, as Ayahs and moms ( and of course,dads on duty !) with kids, all dolled up and swathed in woolies !! A delight to watch them pass by !!
Neyartha has regressed and recalled his childhood days today ?
