Prasanna our champ makes it to the World Sudoku Meet features in Times of India

Congo's Prasanna,  Rock on. 

Thanks Rio 

Thanks a lot Vijay  Hollow iPhones for all!! 

If you see the results the top 3 was extremely close. I think Rishi, Rohan and me are definitely the best solvers in India and Jaipal's a good addition with a load of experience. Hopefully we can do really well as a team this time. 

PS you will make it this time 'Prabhu ka ashirwad hai' and hollow iPhones for all and genuine one for me 

Kuch to milega na, 

I want solid iPhone 

Congratulations Prasanna! No hollow iPhones, we want filled ones.

Thanks to you i have started solving puzzles again. You've got me hooked to 'Parks'. I've been busy planting trees for the last 2 days! (iPad app - Logic games)

Thanks Ritu! I'm glad I had that influence on you, especially since you seem to be having fun because of that 

iPhones shall be filled.. Not with anything meaningful but, filled 

Congrats Prasanna. 

The cut out words at bottom of the screenshot look like puzzles that are hiding from PS. 

Actually it is linux hiding from you Ranjith 

Why will Linux hide from me?  I am the one hiding from Linux. 

PS didn't tell me thanks for my congrats. 

I jut saw the linux part of this and assumed it was continuation of above  Thanks a lot Ranjith. I don't think puzzles hide from me. Everyone likes to meet their makers 

PS broda.... or, my Champuncle, I'm so proud of you!!!

though TOI only knows of your puzzle talent we know of your philosophical side too, may be before the next big news I can mail them and request to add that too [won't let you to live peacefully wala grin].....

Congratsssssssssssssssssss [blissful smile].....

Now my next step is to butter PS to make him agree for an interview in my just4suzan [businessman wala smile]

Hehe, its good to have young fans  Thanks a lot AS. I'm fine with an interview as long as you don't force me to answer pointed questions 

great PS... catch you in SKYPE as per our fb-chat [shake hands with measured smile]

I'm really scared of measured smiles  but, yeah 

Congrats Prasanna! :D

Thanks Punit 

Congrats dude. I just saw in the newspaper and I was about to post. But already a thread has been created. People are too fast.

Thanks TF  Ya this was pretty fast, I wasn't expecting it when I woke up to already be there. It really feels good, thanks again to Vijay.

Thanks Madhu 

Delhi Times, or Times of India in Delhi? Delhi Times would be surprising. I think its on the main Times of India's Sports page in every city where ToI has circulation.

Right. I checked the Epaper site and its in Sports page of all ToI editions. Apparently tomorrow it'll be on Bombay and Hyderabad Times respectively (since the winners are 2 from each of these cities). 

Yes, they are, sponsorship and publicity are pretty much the reasons Logic Masters India partnered with ToI. They'll pay the Sudoku part of my participation fee too. Unfortunately, I'll have to pay the puzzle part, because the Indian Puzzle Championship isn't sponsored as of now. But thats really less compared to the overall usual expenses.

WOW, that's incredible. Congrats!

Thanks Saru 

Many congratulations Prasanna! :)

Thanks Ragini.  Are you by any chance related to the winner? 

Hey PS! Congrats! And again best of luck for the future games (as I keep saying )

Thanks Pankti!  <-- as I keep saying 

Thanks a lot DS 

Congrats and all the best for future games....

Thanks

WOW PS Congrats!!

Thanks Snuffles

Today's Bombay Times as promised. Mostly the same content, but the photo is different, and names are all labeled.

Congrats Prasanna ! This is good news :)

Thanks Uma  I was about to type your initials, then I realized thats UMA too! 

Congos Prasanna! That's definitely a great news. I hope I wasn't too late in the party.

Haha not at all late  Thanks a lot 

Best of Luck for you and your team in the World Championships. May you and the team bring pride to the country.

Thanks [Dunno your name] CyberKID  India's rank as a team last year was 7th, and thats actually the best rank, I think. But the team this year is really strong, Rishi (winner) was in UK for the past 2 years and I goofed up last year and didn't get through. So really hopeful that we can better that this time.

PS better not goof up this year  I am kind of counting on the iPhone (solid one with iOS inside) from China

I meant I goofed up at the Mumbai round itself last year 

Congratulations, Prasanna! I remember to have replied in one of your threads early on, where you had asked for a suitable category for posting your blogs in IndiVine and it feels so great to be replying to this one today.  You certainly covered quite a long distance, in such a short span of time. It is absolutely WOW -> Kudos! 

Thanks Arti  I remember that. Since, I've settled nicely enough into the "other sports" category.
