The lull continues! NJ effect?

Anyway, thanks to the non-regulars for making up the gap!

Please do honour us more often!
As usual my last resort for filling up the blanks was the colonel's blog where the comments are illuminating and entertaining!
An incontestable statement I found there today:
" today's was a tough one...some of the anno's really killed me...as the saying goes..'everythings fair in love, war and crossword' "
For interesting annos:

Usually I get into the forum to check if my answers are correct. Today I found many gaps - hence added my two bits. I will try to be regular and I agree today's clues were not the regular run of mill ones.
Have fun and enjoy the long weekend.

The presence of a nutcracker here lures me to a happy digression: I'm lately discovering myself going backwards in years!

I gel well with my grandchildren, we share an avid interest in online games. When I recommended a lovely puzzle game called 'Pet rescue' in king.com, they wanted me to try crazy-go-nuts game in playedonline.com. Fantastic! :P

The beginning of Gridman series coinciding with Diwali season is reason enough to bring in the festive mood, I felt!!!

PP is not only a 1 AC but many times a 28 AC as well. no wonder PP got it first.
In mine own estimation I am 1ac, but I'm not sure if those around me will agree!
Now I'm in a dilemma!

whether to get ready for a fight asking why "many times' and not 'always'

or blush in content with such excessive praise

or go grab that bottle of Tiger Balm to prevent a relapse of sinusitis that might occur with such generous 'ice' showers!

I will repeat "many times", and not "always" because:
PP is always hesitant to encourage the "spirits" behind my rejoinders.
its better to blush in content.
p.s. there are better bottles than TIGER BALM

'bottles'???
Nutcracker! Beware, a good spanking awaits you!
I am 'always' steady in my stand and on foot to protest whenever 'spirits' arise! This afternoon in another site, the admirable guy at the helm got a nudge(=spanking) from me for admitting to a peg of whiskey!!!
What a wretched, self-appointed job of enforcing dry laws wherever I go!!!

ABRIDGE looks quite alright! But 5dn is mind-boggling, I can't make head or tail of it!

What is C-in-C? What is the drink it gets? And how getting more merry?

my way of justification is:-
SUP is to drink.
MORE anagram REMO
COMMANDER IN CHIEF is SUPREMO.
and with a further stretch of imagination:
SUPREMO could become SUPREMA????
any other "wild" guesses????????

To clarify:
(a) ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is correct.
(b) ACKNOWLEDGMENT is an alternative spelling.
Whether you use one or the other is as per your learning and preference.
I always spell it as in (a)
Similarly, JUDGEMENT/JUDGMENT
AGEING/AGING
CLUEING/CLUING
QUEUEING/QUEUING

Excellent!
Colonel's translation list seems to be a hot forward doing the rounds! It is very recently posted here in the 'share what enjoyed reading' thread!
SOLVERS= kaNdupippOr?

Doesn't sound quite correct! Makes us Columbuses!

nirappuvOr?
CROSSWORD SOLVERS=kurukkezuththu kattam nirappuvOr?

Your guffaw at the end of Clue 19ac seems to suggest that you have something up your sleeve - assuming of course that the choli you're wearing at the moment indeed has a sleeve. Going by what our actresses and models wear now, cholis nowadays have no sleeves, no backs, no shoulder bands, no ...
I love those choli sleeves that have a - what do they call it? puff? - and/or (again) what do they call it? tucks? darts?

Sleeveless choli for me?!

Never! But puffs find favour with me- a prominent feature of my mom's generation, paraded by the cine beauties of those days!
What is up my sleeve is such an old, stale secret, don't you think?

As far as this signature thing and THC is concerned, I think it was Gridman who first put himself in.
Later I think Neyartha did that.
I don't remember Sankalak or Manna having done that.
All these are pseudonyms.
I wonder if Nita Jaggi, which is a very real name of a very real person, can do it.
Any guesses?

Forget the solution, but did this clue remind anyone of the scene from the Tamil film Moondram Pirai or the fable that the scene depicted?

That's right, Mrs PP!
Though I wrote the note, I later thought the link was perhaps tenuous. I even thought I may have misled my readers.
Besides with 'monkey' in the clue and that last scene on the platform of a railway station, there was a red herring - which you could have done without.
Anyway all's well that ends well and I am relieved there is no bee in your bonnet.

An interesting forwarded mail I received:
ONLY THE BRITISH COULD HAVE INVENTED THIS LANGUAGE
We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
Then shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that, and three would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!
Let's face it - English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;
neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England ..
We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes,
we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square,
and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing,
grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend.
If you have a bunch of odds and ends
and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English
should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.
In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
We ship by truck but send cargo by ship.
We have noses that run and feet that smell.
We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.
And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,
while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language
in which your house can burn up as it burns
down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out,
and in which an alarm goes off by going on.
And, in closing, if Father is Pop, how come Mother's not Mop?
I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT IF PEOPLE FROM POLAND ARE CALLED POLES, THEN
PEOPLE FROM HOLLAND SHOULD BE HOLES AND FROM GERMANY GERMS!!!
Which reminds me of a story. There was a boy whose father was a stickler for correct English. The boy wanted a pair of mongooses as pets and wrote to his father: "Dear dad, please send me two mongooses, love, son". It didn't sound right so he re-wrote the letter: "Dear dad, please send me two mongeese, love, son". It still didn't sound right and knowing his father's penchant for correct English, he sent this letter finally: "Dear dad, please send me a mongoose, love, son. P.S. On second thoughts, better make it two"

Splendid!
Welcome, sbsr! You seem to have clicked the 'quote' option in the last post! Next time you copy the last post and paste it in the reply portion at the bottom of the page and type your quota of 4 answers. You better highlight them by putting B inside square brackets before the answer and B/ in square brackets after the answer which should be in capital letters. All the best!

Mrs PP,
Please permit an unabashed plug...
I am glad to say that Indian blogs and Indian bloggers on crosswords are getting attention in the UK.
In the Comments under my blog on today's Daily Telegraph crossword, the blog owner has cited an article by Shuchi in her blog and alludes to the comments I made thereunder.
He reveals that Chaturvasi is Rishi in disguise (which of course members here must be in the know).

Hi all,
Great to know I'm in the midst of such bright lights; me being the dimmest zero watt bulb in these parts of course.
I stumbled onto The Hub, and this part of it, by accident and signed on when I found that this group was working on The Hindu's daily challenge to the intellect; except on those days (I do not know how many of you will agree) some sadist sets *starred* clues which have no relevance whatsoever, but still make the needed connection between puzzle setter and aspiring solver.
Hope to stay with you guys till time (or The Hindu) be with me no ore.
By the time I cracked today's offering and logged on to see what I could offer you guys, the whole grid had been completed.
Great going and happy to be here.
Warm regards to all,
SBSR
