Pepper Pot, wish you too a Merry Christmas and do keep this one simple. I could not solve either of your previous ones! Give me a Merry Christmas! :-D

Celebrated Christmas for going on a solo 30 km drive (each way) to visit a cousin today. First such long drive on my own. :-D It was a Merry Christmas for all - no one tried to occupy the same space at the same time as my car today. :rotfl

I've got one after Pepper. Very similar to my last two puzzles. Something unique about India that hardly anyone talks about.

Final 5 days! If anyone has puzzles lined up, drop a note and I will add you to the list on the index thread.

Have you ever tried these sweets Satchi?

Viswamitra · Dec 26, 2015

Dear Satchi,

Make in India in a way is repeat of history that happened in 1900s. Sacrifices made by those three are significant. Sometimes I wonder if those three stayed alive for another 2 to 3 decades whether Gandhi would have got the prominence he enjoyed. I heard from my grandparents that these three enjoyed the most respect during their period.

Hi folks, I need to be excused from participating here for a short time. Some things need my attention. I will continue to maintain the index and the forum. I will also address any pressing problems if they crop up. Just won't have time for making and solving puzzles. Please carry on with business as usual! Have fun!

@Gauri03,

Take it easy and please take care of things you need to do. We will hold the fort for you. I am leaving for India on January 6th and I will be out of pocket myself until January 30th. I will miss a part of European history puzzles.
