Congo's Prasanna,  Rock on.

Thanks a lot Vijay Smile Hollow iPhones for all!! Tongue out

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 Smile

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)

Prasanna Seshadri

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

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

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

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.

Prasanna Seshadri
from Bangalore |

Thanks TF Smile 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.

Well done Prasanna!

And the news is in Delhi Times too. I saw it there.

Prasanna Seshadri
from Bangalore |

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.

Madhu Bhardwaj
from NOIDA |

Yes, you are right. TOI Delhi edition Sports page.

Prasanna Seshadri
from Bangalore |

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). Smile

Madhu Bhardwaj
from NOIDA |

Ok, today it is on the front page in Delhi Times and the detailed report on an inner page. I hope they are sponsoring your trip to Beijing.

Prasanna Seshadri
from Bangalore |

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.

Ragini Puri

Many congratulations Prasanna! :)

Prasanna Seshadri
from Bangalore |

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

CyberKID

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

CyberKID
from India |

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

Prasanna Seshadri
from Bangalore |

Thanks [Dunno your name] CyberKID Smile 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.

Vijay Prabhu
from Mumbai |

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

Prasanna Seshadri
from Bangalore |

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

Arti
from Mumbai |

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. Smile You certainly covered quite a long distance, in such a short span of time. It is absolutely WOW -> Kudos! Cool

Prasanna Seshadri
from Bangalore |

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