ReplyDeleteCredit to Sunnet to make a pangrammatic crossword without obscure words.
ReplyDelete14A: I have always spelt it as Salwar!
ReplyDeleteI have always held it like that only.
DeleteI have NEVER plucked it and thrown it from a hilltop to let it cascade as the lady held her hands before her bosom.
Delete😀😀😈😈
DeleteRe: Opening comment: He is an A to Z guy
ReplyDeleteNo, he's an A thru Z guy!
DeleteBut he sure is a man for all seasons
Delete...and all weatherproof!
DeleteThanks Sunnet. It was refreshing!
ReplyDeleteYesterday Chennai had 41 deg C. Please suggest a sundress for me.
ReplyDeleteI think sundress is for ladies. Undress is one option.
DeleteIf Chennai people start looking around for sundress at 41 degrees, then I wonder what Nagpur people look for at 46 degrees (saw a message just now in whatsapp!)
DeleteI am due to visit Ranthambore national park, in Raj next weekend. Scared to see the temps going up everywhere.
DeleteWe are moderately boiling at 43...off to Goa & Karwar for a few days..hope there it is cooler
DeleteIndeed at 31 degrees a lot cooler here...dont feel the humidity also
Delete10A) At first I read it as Kiss Sunny Leone.... :(
ReplyDeleteTry that if you can get past the bouncers.
DeleteMaybe due to recency effect..the lady just had her birthday
DeleteLovely puzzle. Missed out on PETRI & VINYLS. My strongest COD was...You know what!
ReplyDeleteSunnet adds heat to the already sizzling weather by his summer musings ! Warm thanks to Sunnet. Brain didn't heated much -- a bit of PETRICHOR here due to Summer showers .
ReplyDeleteNANDA tied a bit of Naada around my neck as the only dynasty that will rush to mind is that of the dying dynasty !
We shall wage no wars with Shalwar's spelling as salwar or shalwar always deserve a second look !
Thanks everyone for the feedback. I had lightning also as a theme word, but not stye.
ReplyDeleteI thought Sun alone (or leone) was also a theme word, albeit a part of the clue but fits the theme nonetheless.
