2nd call for samosa lover.
ReplyDeletewe were using some other word for easy pickings. she chose the word samosa.
DeleteNow she is concentrating on her medical profession, whether she is busy or otherwise, with nary a thought on THC though the paper may be lying at her home or clinic. THCC is far from her mind.
We may get very chummy with co passenger on train, even get their contact details. But after detraining, we rarely connect.
Let's forget her unless she crops up again. Not bring her up whenever this dish is in the grid.
Delete
We can't forget her. It was so lively with her around
DeleteShe had said her clinic was in Madley Road, T Nagar. Any Chennai resident may try to locate it and surprise the eye doctor.
DeleteNoted as a T.Nagar resident. But not during corona days- when things improve,yes.
DeleteWas she Dr.Gayathri Srikanth? But it says Vasan eye clinic,Vadapalani.
DeleteThe name is correct. But Vasan eyecare is all gone, I think. She must be somewhere else now.
DeleteLast time she commented here, she said she was in London persuing further studies. This must be a couple of years back.
DeleteI thought she had shifted to Singapore. She was also writing some script for a movie, wasn't she?
DeleteYes,there was some movie connection.
DeleteYes. She also wrote a book on Rajnikant
DeleteLiked gossip around bonfire.

ReplyDeleteCol.Sir
Thanks Doc. I have corrected it
DeleteTypo 1D
ReplyDeleteGood puzzle today. Several deftly turned clues. Learned a new term from 6D. Thank you, Afterdark.
ReplyDelete6D was not simple language at all
DeleteIt is French . Many words from European languages have passed into English. Whether they should be used in English is a different qn. BTW, in the so-called hidden or telescopic clues, the answers are en clair.
DeleteExcellent grid. Didn't get en clar. Precise word play. Definitions in many clues not direct.
