I like to do puzzles and some math once in a while to keep things interesting.. just came across these crosswords on CNN-IBN. LINK (http://ibnlive.in.com/crossword/crosswords.php)

Please try out a few :) The good thing is that they are in desi context. I tried a few american ones but they were too specific.

P.S. They have different categories: sports, business, cricket and entertainment besides the General puzzles.

Cha pai would be happier if you had "maykhane" replaced by "paaykhaane", and jaaya instead of aaya in the signature:D

LOL.. this is an old one when singing any ghazals with maikhana word in them. :clap:

another one: maikhane mein baithe hain aur may to taraste hain.. (replace m with p) :D

The beauty of a crossword is the ache and tease of trying to work it out using my head rather than dictionary/google. The whole purpose is to improve word power and think like the puzzle creator. I don't see only half completing a puzzle as a failure....I always check the correct answers and thus have learnt just a little bit more!
