My first post in the "blog world"!
Hey!
This is my first post in the blog world!
Btw, if you are a "The Hindu" Crossword enthusiast, you can visit my colleague Vinod's site at http://vinodraman.blogspot.com for solutions, alongwith the approach to it. When we get bugged with work, we discuss this and try to crack (though, most of these get solved by Vinod, and I only try to chip in with an answer or 2!!).
Hmm, I'll try to keep posting the new words/new meanings for words that i already know, which I may learn, as an outcome of solving the crossword. Lets see if really stick to this!
