Ever since the Times Of India starting giving Sudoku in their edition, I have been solving the puzzle. Over the period I developed a sense of competitiveness to solve all the puzzles confronted by me. The easy level is far easier now. The medium and difficult level pose some sort of resistance.
During this learning phase with experience I developed this way of solving the medium rated puzzle. When all the obvious blanks are filled with numbers, usually I get a row, column or a 3 * 3 square with only 2 options left with a unique combination. Clearly one is right and the other is wrong. I fill the space with one of the options with a smaller letter than the rest and then move forward to solve the puzzle. If all goes well, my guess was right and I change all the smaller letters into normal font. If there is any ambiguity than I reverse the choice I made previously. In anyway I find the correct answer.
This Saturday while solving the medium level Sudoku I wondered if I could do the same with life. Decide on one thing and then live life with smaller font and in case of confrontation, I could just go back and reverse the choice. Solving the puzzle correctly this time.
How true it is when someone marking the difference between reel and real life said, “Life has No retakes”
