GRIDMAN SIGNS OFF FROM THIS WORLD
It is with deep regret and great shock that I have to report here that CG Rishikesh aka Gridman who was also known in the Crossword world as Chaturvasi and whom we fondly called CV left for his heavenly abode on 14 Apr.
CV was one amongst the earliest commenters on my blog. He took keen interest in the well being of this blog and for a few years was also one of the bloggers.
His long and illustrious connection with Crosswords started way back in the 70's and he had set more than 1000 CW's for The Hindu. I had the good fortune of meeting him on various occasions and interacted with him regularly. He also was a well known name in the CW world internationally where he was a regular commenter on various forums.
We will miss him and his CW's.
As a mark of respect, today's blog will appear only at 4 PM. Please do add your comments about your interactions with him.
CV I am sure you will continue your banter with Raju who preceded you to the happy hunting Grounds.
Rest in Peace my dear friend.
