Crosswords...

It was one tiring day...at the bus terminus, I noticed a couple of people clutching what looked like a small news paper...
Din't give it much thought, but when the scene kept repeating itself for another day or two...I stood up and noticed (not literally of course!)...some guys were distributing the "news paper" for free...
as as with all things free, it did pique my curiosity.
The news paper in question was a perfect tabloid.
The headlines were sensational...
one day it was how cops in the city jail kept a round the clock vigilance over a prisoner...in the process violating his right of privacy (since they kept a watch over him when he went to the loo as well)
the other day it was about how cops watched a porn movie and then raided the movie hall and hauled the owner for obscenity...
Of course the death of a legislators better half and the murder of a teen in Delhi got their fair share.

"Moose and Molly" and "Calvin and Hobbes" were a huge draw too...but for a person who has grown with them...and I guess I have read most of the C&H strips, this is hardly an incentive.

But the crosswords are something else...and given the fact that there are two of them...the classic one and the bollywood one, din't take long for me to get addicted to the news paper...the fact that it is discounted for us (the free days are long gone), was just another excuse...

End up besting the Classic crossword on most days...the bollywood one though, is a nasty one...try as I might have not been able to crack more than half of it..but then, as they say, I'm getting there :)
