A Note :

        There were two mistakes in the matrix as
        pointed out by V Caudhury Jampala and 
        Ramakrishna Pillalamarri. Thank you, sirs.

        I apologise. But all got almost all-correct.
        Also I posted the corrected matrix later.


THE WINNERS
-----------

        1)      V Chaudhury Jampala
        2)      Ramakrishna Pillalamarri
        3)      Kamalaa Viswanatha

        Congratulations! Keep it Up!!

Almost Allcorrect
-----------------

        1)      Nasy Sankagiri 
        2)      palaka rao
        3)      Padma Indraganti

        You all erred in a letter. Sorry!

        (Hi nasy and rao, you missed all-correct status and for
         once someothers clinched it!)

1/2 Mistakes
------------

        1)      Sudhakaru Pamidighantam
        2)      PaNini
        3)      Krishna Kondaka

Great Attempts
--------------

        1)      Ramkumar Perumanam
        2)      Mrs & Mr Rao Parasa

Explanations Only wherever needed:
----------------------------------

   addam #Across#

   7.  manaki daaggari nakshatram (2) ravi

        I wanted to mislead. But all got it.
       The sun, after all, is our nearest star.

   20. renDu swapnaala cappuDu (7) kalakalaswanamu.

       Some said "kalakaldhwAnamu. OK. dhwa is surrounded
       by blinds. Someother chose "kalakalaninadam"
       I think ninadam is wrong. and ninAdam is correct.
       But ninAdam makes baana as baanaa which doesn't fit.


   niluvu #Down#

   14. eddula koraDaa. gunDrangaa vunDadu (4) mulukoela

       while cernakoela is accepted, celukoela and
       tOlukoela weren't. They don't sound OK to me.
       
   19. kunDa. poTTaki upamaanam (2) baana
       
       Some used ghaTam. Well, baanapoTTa is more common
       than say ghaTOdara or ......
