My grid in HT for July'25 hindustantimes.com/games/cryptic-…

War is not a spectator sport. My dad was part of the Kargil War and I vividly remember how I felt (very similar to the 100s of other children & families who were in this situation too where this was not an abstract thing but very real) It is pretty easy to sit within the comfort of your home & cheer and trivialize destruction + propose solutions to complex geopolitical situations. If you are not truly an expert, do humanity a favour and spare us your hot takes (+ memes & jokes too). #OperationSindoor

Families of men & women on the frontlines, in cockpits, on ships, drone control rooms and forward stations, a nation can never thank you enough. We stand with our forces and with you ALWAYS. 🇮🇳

It has become a tradition at 1Across to have a wonderful community grid celebrating women for every Women’s day. I am always amazed that although we are under-represented in cryptic crosswords, we still manage to have so many setters come together for this common cause. Thanks to each of the setters who participated, to Qrypt on Y X who put this together tirelessly coordinating with 20 plus setters on over 50 clues and to all the solvers for the encouraging feedback. 1across.org/2025/03/22/lad…
