Hey everyone! I'm Tarun K, a freshman at SDSU and the constructor for today's NYT crossword. I’d love for you to reach out to me at <a href="mailto:tarunlive@live.com">tarunlive@live.com</a> or on Instagram at @thetarunkrish to collaborate on crosswords, chat about the state of the world, or just talk about anything else. I am currently in the midst of a clinical volunteering/internship/shadowing search in the San Diego area, and I hope any would-be employers enjoy this puzzle! And, as always, thanks for solving!

@Alexander Liebeskind Hey Alexander! I can't believe I'm replying to the constructor of the puzzle that became the very inspiration for my debut. First of all, thank you so much for creating such a stellar grammagram puzzle. I've always loved phonetic sounds and wanted to implement them in puzzles, and solving your puzzle gave me the AHA! moment I needed to start constructing. And thanks for the kind words! This is just the beginning :)

@sotto voce Thank you so much for the kind words! I have always loved phonetic sound gimmicks and was glad for my debut to be a theme based around it. I'm glad you enjoyed the puzzle!

@Rebecca Thanks for giving a different perspective on the crossword! I rarely get an international audience on my puzzles so this is great to know. Thanks for still enjoying the puzzle!

@sotto voce Thank you so much! I initially had my blurb near the end of the constructor notes, but the editor omitted it so I put it here instead. Hopefully this networking method will pay off lol
