Clue of...Enjoyed solving Arden's square today. Clue of my day: PRONOUNCE. Very craftily constructed to mislead ! - RON for boy and POUNCE for attack-- one would laways think of a son for the boy and not a name .<br /><br />CV: I agree with you on that very arrogant and self-opinionated anchor whom I used to admire when I started seeing his shows after arrival form Kenya. If he is an anchor and a moderator, he ought to remain one and guide the sparring contestants but instead, he himself becomes a panellist and presupposes that only those who agree with him are right. I really wonder why ever folks become part of his panel. As you rightly say, Anil Dharker and the elder journalist Mr Rahul Singh should have boycotted him after being repeatedly harangued by the anchor. I too am waiting for a comeuppance against this anchor whose show claims to be having the highest TRP ! He seems to be having no respect for seniority and age ! His hubris will be his downfall !!<br /><br />On a lighter note, Deepak, Alpenhorn and yodelling are from the Swiss Alps (our own Kishore Kumar indianized it so deftly !) and the link was welcome. Somehow, I could only seeYOU to be one of the accordionists when I saw and enjoyed that joyful clip. I have saved it to go back to hear it again and again whenever I find myself in the dumps !

Considering that it may be a homophone indicator, an example indicator, EG, or as in the case of 15D, the deinition. It was the last to fall, as I had from the beginning assumed it was a homophone indicator for attack.Navneethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08605371412809015201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-36241933553908778052013-12-02T12:52:34.393+05:302013-12-02T12:52:34.393+05:30Yes, Deepak.

That means 184 clues a month.<br />I have set six puzzles a month every month since sometime in 2001.<br />There are also some specials, as you know.<br />So the total number of clues is a big number.Chaturvasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00284780490945841507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-54789366672529276352013-12-02T12:43:52.590+05:302013-12-02T12:43:52.590+05:30Renga,
