ReplyDeleteMany Happy Returns of the Day, AVM. :)
ReplyDeleteNice puzzle with a different type of Pangram! Missed samosas but enjoyed solving. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy b'day AVM :)
ReplyDeleteA breezy enjoyable x word. The last to fall was ELINTS which reminded of the 2014 movie The Imitation Game.
ReplyDeleteMany Happy Returns of the Day, AVM.
ReplyDeleteJoining the Birthday wishers. Wishing the May Day boy many happy returns of the day.
ReplyDeleteSniffing distance of the samosa, but ut became an 'If'. Missed 'Elints' (in spite of it being an anagram!) and Querists. An enjoyable holiday ride. Thank you Incognito.
Many happy returns of the day, bachelor boy!
ReplyDelete:-) :-(

DeleteNo idea if the bachelor boy had enjoyed this song! But I did!! Thanks, Kishore. :)
DeletePut QUERIERS in the place of querists and got stuck for elints. Same pinch Paddy! So near to Samosas; yet so far. Ok other answers gave happiness.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday A V M
M'aide AVM, Many Happy Returns! But you cant be "therty" for ever!
ReplyDeleteMany happy returns of the day, Ajeesh.
DeleteNo, I won't call you AVM, since the initials remind me of A V Meiyappan, the movie-maker. I have watched some enjoyble Hindi movies made by him under the AVM banner.
Happy Birthday Ajeesh. I was wondering who was AVM all this while.
