Today's puzzle did stump and make me stumble in a couple of places. Srivatsan Santhanam aka SPINNER has scored well, before getting out of academia. Hope and pray that he succeeds in life too, once out in this wicked , wicked world. However, given his background in the IIT, Trichy, I'm sure that he 'll do well in his career too !! Crosswords are great stress- busters and that being his hobby ,and more so as a compiler, he doesn't have to worry. Keep compiling SS(S)<br /><br />I'm glad that the blog is as active as ever, despite the national elections results being televised. I got glued to the sofa, well-ensconced, and hence gave a miss to the clues of the day.. till late in the evening. <br />Is everyone else in this blog so apolitical that that there is nary a word about Narendra's drubbing the GOP and the Gandhi family? The Press was cheesed off over the mother and son's terse( though the son was relieved and no more tense , displaying his dimple on his freshly shaven face, looking spiffy . Everyone and the next man didn't miss the mummy dear beckoning the baby, come along, come along,, short of dragging, though he was unwilling and wanting to have a last word !!

He has done a nice bit of deduction (for a change, not calculating tax deduction!) from the clues about the setter's background and the occasion causing the nostalgia.

I come from NIT-TRICHY and the theme revolves around NIT-T and my life here. The Clocktower and the Barn are the most well known buildings at NIT-Trichy. College, Rockfort and Trichy conform to the Trichy theme, while 'Feeds' is the official magazine of NIT-Trichy. These six words are the primary theme words. Cricket and Music have been the core of my college life, so they also feature. The 'Nectar' in the grid is a placeholder for 'Amrutha-varshini' , the Classical music club at NIT-Trichy, which I've always been a part of. And the clue acrostic is for all of my friends.
