Remember the clue by any chance? <br /><br />Agree fully with your praise for the Times. <br /><br />I&#39;ve tried the Times Jumbo sometimes. Never done the Daily Telegraph. <br /><br />By the way, you might want to exchange notes and experiences with Chaturvasi, author of the 1st comment here, who is also a prolific solver with decades of crossword experience.<br /><br />OK if I share your email ids with each other?Shuchihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01255928672885834649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025878547150944281.post-73252492405615906712010-04-24T19:24:58.140+05:302010-04-24T19:24:58.140+05:30Dear Suchi,<br /><br />Ya, indeed, I have come across clues with answers like Tandoor, Balti, Angiti (these are the names of Indian Or Pakistani restaurantsin the U.K ) Kurma,Lalsharab, Memsahib, Koi Hai? , and of course, the Tamil word for Milagu tannner, Mulgatawney, Kattumaram--catamaran , just to name a few.<br /><br />These are mainly in the Times, of London whose compilers I find to be the fairest and more challenging. Not with them, those horrible mind-benders that defy any logic or lateral thinking.<br /> I shall now add on to these as I go along with the London papers&#39; cryptic crosswords, clippings of which I have very many. Incidentally, have you ever tried those giant crosswords of the Times or the Daliy Telegraph? I have quite a few of them to be attacked ona rainy and murky day, when I will hacve nowhere to go to .!! How do I share them with all of you?<br /><br />How about an exhibition of crossword memorabilia?<br /><br />Did I digress, already?<br /><br />Raju UmamaheswarRaju Umamaheswarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025878547150944281.post-53968544450759354662008-10-09T20:10:00.000+05:302008-10-09T20:10:00.000+05:30A pucca compilation that deserves wah,wah!<BR/>A similar list of Indian words in THC could be revealing.Chaturvasihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00284780490945841507noreply@blogger.com
