DeleteKKR garu, lIke Vasant, much that I detest missing my usual on on a Sunday morning, I had to attend an AGM of our Association at our club house and could not actively be here. UGH ! No sooner than I returned, I got on to this and finished solving all the clues as it was fairly easier today. It erased the humdrum and inane palavers of a meeting. I particularly liked LEGAL TENDER and MERCHANT OF DEATH . Thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rajugaru.
DeleteThank you KKR.
