Holiday Special, Tuesday 03 Sep 2019, Doppelganger (Repeat)


No paper due to Vinayaka Chathurthi.

      Sorry. Apologies.
      Since there were no comments at all, I thought everybody has forgotten about it. I did not want it to remain unsolved.
      I will be more careful in future and stick to rules.

      Please don't apologise, Paddy.It happens.
      My times of solving crosswords are weird nowadays. On good days at office, I use breaks ( Lunch, tea, snacks) to solve. Otherwise, it is in the evening. Today, during breaks, I solved 2 puzzles( from the 1 Across Gridfest, keeping this puzzle for solving in the evening. With 1 and a half hour time difference, I have a long evening)

    Thank you everyone. I will have to keep repeating Doppelganger CWs till I get more contributions. I have one for next week from KKR as mentioned above.
    From 27 Sep to 20 Oct I will be in Srinagar, in all probability there will be no blog during that period as there is no internet there as of now.

      Col, if you can pre-schedule a blank post by 8am everyday, someone can copy paste the clues. And we can run Sunday format every day during that period.

    2. Deepak Gopinath3 September 2019 at 19:01

      Copy pasting of cues has to be done by someone who has admin rights

      Moreover if there is no internet I will have to pre-schedule for a whole month before I get there

      Great!I have great memories of J&K. Visited every nook and corner. Have great friends. Partaken some wonderful dishes.. Sung Dongri and Kashmiri songs.. Been cooped up in a houseboat for 3 weeks.. Been to the borders... As close as to Muzzafarabad as possible on one hand and the closest on all sectors.. Seen bullet ridden walls, D. G. Set acoustic Chambers in our sites..
      Good Luck, Col. Hopefully by then Internet would have been restored. (it is restored on Baramullah, Handwara and Shopian as per news)
