Looks like Gridman's watching a lot of Hindi movies/Hindi soaps. There were 3 references to Delhi!
ReplyDeletePure enjoyment of a Desi puzzle with Shashi Tharoor getting a chance of mention.
DeleteExactly woh hi mi soch raha tha!!

ReplyDeleteCol.,
ReplyDeleteI got this video of the elephant "talking" to its mahout on whatsapp yesterday and thought of it when the word came up today. And there it is!
What mental gymnastics I used to convince myself that High Roller is the answer for 19A :-(.
ReplyDeleteI did too!
DeleteHa ha!! The other day there was this was this clue ( I am paraphrasing here) something about incomplete observation creating hunk. I interpreted that as stare-e. The answer was study-y. I should have realised not all stars are studs :-).
