And I wanted to thank the respectable Colonel, veterans, and every sepoy on this blog for having solved these grids (successfully, or by cheating), and given me feedback (constructive and destructive) over these many months.<br /><br />I quite enjoy setting, and over time my passion for writing creative and cryptic clues has only grown. Alongside, so has my commitment to pleasing my coy audience and earning everyone's begrudging blessings. I believe I have made discernible if hazy progress on this front, and hope to plough on, making you all at times scratch your head and, at others, think about having it examined. As I too often do (about my own).<br /><br />Thank you again and here’s wishing everyone a happy and prosperous 2023 with a nonsensical haiku!<br /><br />WrPlougher essays<br />To turn brickbats and headaches<br />Into fresh bouquetsWrdPlougherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13468850843844408361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-611420618324878392023-01-03T01:02:33.484+05:302023-01-03T01:02:33.484+05:30Aiyyo lolAiyyo lolsamit kallianpurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10475899927777802829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-37359243607225762642023-01-03T00:53:37.676+05:302023-01-03T00:53:37.676+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.samit kallianpurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10475899927777802829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-62668369886613217462023-01-02T23:27:59.399+05:302023-01-02T23:27:59.399+05:30After a l9ng time!After a l9ng time!sree_sreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970943914241397310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-44095680065889900002023-01-02T23:19:10.503+05:302023-01-02T23:19:10.503+05:3023A might get first prize in nonsensical essay wri...23A might get first prize in nonsensical essay writing.
