    2. The reason is that you have made a huge difference to many solver's ability by CU. Looking forward to an active Shuchi in 2019

  12. I have been just invited to a 'surprise party' by my old friend's daughter to celebrate his 70th birthday. Luckily it is on the 19th so I don't have to miss that or this.
    On this occasion, may I thank my friends who made my 70th birthday truly memorable some years ago.
    I am grateful for your friendship and kindness.

  15. Sorry DG, I will not be able to make it this time as I will be travelling to Hyderabad for the get-to-get-her meet of IIT 1973 Chemical Engineering Batch mates. This 4-day event was planned nearly 4 months ago and looking forward to meeting some of our class mates after 45 years.

  16. Tomorrow’s. Neyartha grid appeared so daunting that I closed the I pad in frustration and returned after half an hour. Once I got going with the first word fill, all others fell like ninepins ! I could complete the whole grid in less than 20 minutes ! What is the magic, I can't surmise. An unusual grid with nice clues . Thanks Neyartha. My mouth is salivating for a Neiyyappam !

  17. I am completing a book of cryptic puzzles of 400+ grids at a feverish pace. The weather here is so cold that one is compelled to sit near a heating element and do whatever one can. Thank God I have this hobby as a life saver !

  20. Post by Bhargav on the Saturday blog

    TEN TENNA TEN.

    Ton tonna ton.
    The bell ringeth.
    Yes, it is ten years since the THCC blog first appearence in early February 2009!

    PRAISE be unto Col. Deepak Gopinath for the blog through which many a solver has come to
    understand and appreciate the VARIED clues.

    The annotations have helped many new solvers to get that extra EDGE over other new and would-be solvers - those who have not seen the THCC blog.

    And those who have diligently followed the blog have reaped rich DIVIDENDS.

    Rain or shine our Colonel will SHOOT at 0830 hours sharp!! The blog will promptly be updated
    with the day's crossword with annotated solutions.

    Solvers who LAP UP the crosswords are increasing indeed.

    Our congratulations are due to the Colonel and the other bloggers Bhavan and Ramesh.

    And not forgetting the setters of the crosswords who are quite a few and whom many of you know / will come to know.

    P.S.

    Solvers and setters of the crosswords meet at regular interval and one such meet is due tomorrow (20.1.19) and the details can be found in the blog. Those who are interested to meet the setters and others are most welcome.
