    Dear Satchi,

    Your verbal clues and PriyaSrini's hint that the person is linked to one of the earlier puzzles helped me find the answer. @PriyaSrini, you found the answer but not saying it in the thread or your response to me is your way of saying the answer?

    I have already classified you, JAG, Deepslikes, Lyraa, Gauri and Soka on higher IQ category and I know Satchi, Vaidehi, jskls and Akanksha are catching up with all of you and it is a question of time. If I don't increase my IQ on a war-footing manner (probability is very low), I know I will be out soon.

    You are too modest, Candyy. Let us be honest about the truth. Besides, I am only proud to see so many young participants not only solving puzzles but also giving excellent clues to my old neurons. I feel like a child again.

    Viswa Sir, I am nowhere near all the neurites who solve it in 5-10 mins. with Satchi's earlier puzzle I really spent so much time on (my smartphone) and identified it was a jain temple but couldn't locate the temple exactly... but still I learnt some other things. Main problem with me is if I cannot locate at least one image in first few searches I give up quickly. It's just a learning experience...
