sir you are embarrassing me now. I can never be smarter than you, this was flash in the pan for me :hide:
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. Viswa
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
Got your latest puzzle Satchi. First found the person who started a journal for feathers .... and others clues confirmed it. Good clues Satchi @satchitananda

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...
Waiting for the next puzzle. This is addicting to say the least! Have one more puzzle waiting in case no one has any to post. Please let me know.
