I managed to solve 11 clues and the ones I missed as usual I felt why I missed. <br />My personal difficulties are using RESIDENT to mean LOCAL (the latter I think of as an adjective, so find it difficult to match it with the noun resident. Of course I've used local as a noun in that sense, but not sure it was acceptable!)<br />Another difficulty I faced in 27Ac. Share for piece (Show piece) I find it was not something that comes to me naturally.Purely personal observations. ---VanchinathanVanchinathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07482701618171016144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-2781617087078014522017-12-15T18:28:39.467+05:302017-12-15T18:28:39.467+05:30Thank you, Sunnet.

CV has always pioneered new ideas here and Col Deepak is ever democratic and ready to play ball. Welcome to all the new commenters , not newbies ( as they are already unknown solvers and addicts, I'd say !) . Why and where were they hiding ? One request. Please don't develop cold feet and disappear, as we are all learners in this blog to the extent that each compiler comes out with new ideas and tricks that are challenging. Keep the ball rolling Col. None is happier than me to see our tribe ( not just THCC family !) expanding. One aspect of cryptic crossword is to consume your egoism and efface you to be humble as there is always one more compiler out there, to challenge your talent and improve the craft of cruciverbalism.

This is so very well known with lots of Indians coming over from all parts of the world that no special mention is needed. The puzzle absolutely well timed- on the dot,so to say. One can almost say (like Neyartha) some clues need no definition.Padmanabhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278629397479779173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-55547053247615010362017-12-15T18:04:36.614+05:302017-12-15T18:04:36.614+05:30Improve?!Improve?!Padmanabhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278629397479779173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-44572241067761964162017-12-15T17:51:40.209+05:302017-12-15T17:51:40.209+05:30The theme for today's CW was the Chennai Katch...The theme for today's CW was the Chennai Katcheri season that usually starts on Dec 15th RameshJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190197234905557537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-21449392589115454472017-12-15T17:50:36.257+05:302017-12-15T17:50:36.257+05:30Thanks Col. for the new blog format that has encou...Thanks Col. for the new blog format that has encouraged so many first time commentators.<br />Thanks every one for solving.
