"Three in One" Dhamaka: (1) K2G; (2) A Cryptic Clue; (3) A Quick Clue

Mail Sent to Batch on June 19th. 2009 (for Pappala's, Srivats' and Goli's Birthdays)....

Dear Folks,

Make sure you read Parts 1, 2 and 3.

Part 1: K2G? Who or what is that?!

K3G (Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham) did not probably run as long as DDLJ did. However, K2G has been running strong and is looking good to scale newer records.

Well, if you are wondering who or what K2G is, you gotta have guessed it’s Kamal Kiran Goli.

As K2G crosses another milestone at 00.00 hours tonight, please be sure to be in Room No. 209 at 11.55 pm to make the occasion a grand one.

Now...., that's not all.

Please also take the opportunity to wish 2 other inmates of the den whose birthdays happened during the vacation. To find out who they are, please check out Part 2 and Part 3.

Part 2: Cryptic Clue: Confused virus sat without you, reportedly, to form respectable Virginia heads of Tourism and Sightseeing.

Solution:

First Part of the Clue: Confused virus sat without you, reportedly
Step 1: Confused virus sat: Take out all the letters in the words "virus" and "sat" to be
re-arranged (as indicated by the word Confused) later.
Step 2: without you, reportedly: reportedly (in cryptic crossword terminology) <=> sounds like -> narrow down to the letter "u" that sounds like the word "you"
Step 3: Remove the letter "u" from the set of letters pulled out in Step 1 (as indicated by
the word "without")
Step 4: As indicated by the word "Confused", re-arrange the letters in this revised set to
give you something that goes with what the second part of the clue gives. The
letters you have now are v,i,r,s, s, a, t (the u is gone).

Second Part of the Clue: Respectable Virginia Heads of Tourism and Sightseeing
Respectable -> SRI
Virginia -> VA
Heads of Tourism and Sighseeing -> The starting letters of the words Tourism and
Sightseeing -> TS
Put the 3 strings together and you get "SRIVATS".

The re-arrangement of the letters identified in the first part of the clue would also lead to Srivats, the name which the second part of the clue forms sequentially.

Part 3: Quick Clue: The guy is AP, from AP, who has worked quite a while in the AP.

You gotta have guessed it's Arun Pappala, from Andhra Pradesh, who has worked quite a while in the Asia Pacific.

So, come, and greet the dancer (from Part 1), the singer (from Part 2) and the action hero (from Part 3). And, in 209, make sure you leave them counting to see if all their (209- 3) are intact.

Thanks,
Ram
