The advent of March!

Hi,

Happy to be here on the last day of Feb. Here we go, cracking the last post:

1. M. Varadu goes berserk to hide the annual timeline (7) - Varudam
2. A parasite or a card, both! (5) - Attai
3. A rice-based breakfast item (or) our harvest festival (or) simply “an overflowing”, all!! (6) - Pongal
4. Rum Buka erroneously spilled for this cash-crop sake (7) - Karumbu
5. Man Hagar shuffled to form the eclipse (8) - Grahanam
6. Milan re-ploughed to get the base (5) - Nilam
7. An auspicious cash-crop or an auspicious color? Both (6) - Manjal
8. Nayir’s ducks… look-up to Sun to solve this (8) - Sooriyan

This post is dedicated to the month of March and its sunshine:

1. Sam, a.k.a., PR is disguised to show brightness (8)
2. A direct pun (unintended one, this) with a gain can bring forth a smile (8)
3. You're, in sms mode, a church mag redesigned for unstoppable, childlike enthusiasm (8)
4. A twisted Siam for the Tamil version of this period (5)
5. Morning-time or a bull (overheard), both! (6)

Happy cracking!

P. Vijay
