Thanks Neyartha.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful also to the Hindu that I am able to see the grid exactly 00.01 hrs for the last two days. I used to see the paper online earlier when I was in Kuwait.
I hope they continue this practice for the benefit of overseas solvers.
Neyartha seems to be busy with Olympic Games! Any reasons for this special?
ReplyDeleteSooooooooo happy- as if I have won a Gold Medal, not just a samosa.
ReplyDeleteProbably one of easier ones from Neyartha. Thank you.
Col.,
Nice blogging of events.
A small niggle-
ReplyDeleteYugoslavia does not exist as a country today. Should there have been an indication?
The number of of hits dwindling day by day? Is there any pattern that perhaps CV can see? Does it relate to the compiler and his tricks? Today, it is only three including Paddy's two and me. MIDWEEK is the reason for the lack of numbers?
ReplyDeleteIsn't green tea enumeration 5,3 ? I liked the construction that led up to OTALGIA.
I personally get vexed when double- worded clues are separated .
Neyartha gave us a Neiyappam today. Better than Samosa ?
Green tea IS (5,3).
ReplyDeleteYes, for such a nice CW from Neyartha I too expected better participation. I thought I was too early along with KKR- but now? Is it only participation or is it solving? Because, once you solve you are curious to peep in and comment.
The print edition shows correct enu i.e. 5,3 for Green Tea.
DeleteNice puzzle!
ReplyDeleteNumber of dwindling comments is worrisome..Many regulars are missing.
Maybe the absence of setters is a reason
ReplyDeleteAbsence of setters? solvers are the ones who fill up the scene. Suresh, pl elucidate. Thanks.
DeleteThere was a time when a lot of setters were active on the blog.
DeleteThey are not to be seen now.
Oh !! Thanks. But why?
DeleteLong story that
