Wishing you all a Very Very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2026 from Kolkata. 2025 was an insignis annus for me. I passed my Master’s in Public Administration from the Indira Gandhi National Open University with the results declared in March 2025 and I will be getting the degree at the University’s forthcoming Convocation, expected in March 2026. I also passed the second semester examination of M.Sc. (Environmental Science) held in June 2025 and will have appeared in all the papers of the third semester before the publication of my next review. I also appeared at the first year examination of M.A. (Education) held in December 2025. Alongside my studies, I continued teaching the Portuguese language at the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture here in the city and at the other end of the globe here at Big Dave’s Crossword Blog, sixty full reviews penned by me were published in addition to nine more of my puzzles (one in 2023 and seven in 2024) in Rookie Corner from where I earned a promotion to Not the Saturday Prize Puzzle with my first puzzle appearing on 6 December. All said and done, I owe a great deal of gratitude in this regard to my mentors at this world’s biggest and undoubtedly the best crossword blog.
A nice, brilliant Saturday puzzle from NYDK that I enjoyed solving and thereafter writing a review of the same for your kind perusal and significant feedback. Continue reading “DT 31121 (Full Review)”

Today is the start of Christmas for many, but we only have one seasonal clue today. I am sure there will be more before the big day. I still have a stock-take to do, so I will be spending Monday and Tuesday up an enormous scissor lift counting screws!
I assume I have been overthinking 22a, but I still have niggling doubts as to the parsing there. I am also unsure as to the setter today, so the Charles III pound coin with the bees on will remain in my coin wallet.
