  20. All clues have been answered. I thank the colonel for hosting my grid in the blog.
    I am grateful to CV sir who guided me, vetted my grid and edited wherever needed.
    I thank all the solvers for showing interest in solving this puzzle, be it by a newbie setter, be it very simple.
    This exercise of setting a puzzle is equally interesting ( if not more interesting) than solving one. It has opened up a new opportunity to me, to keep my brain engaged during whatever remains of my stay on this planet. Thank you.
