Of crosswords and competitions


Our newspaper The Gulf News has a magazine called Friday which we get every Friday’s[obviously;-P]. There are 2 competitions in the magazine which I religiously take part in every week.

One is a quiz on books and the other a crossword puzzle. I've won the quiz many times and now Nikita has taken over that leaving me to concentrate on the crossword. I enjoy solving it and my love for trivia is gratified at same time;-).

Earlier the crossword used to take me atleast 2 days to complete but now I’ve gotten better at it…ermm gotten better at getting the answers from the net is more like it;-P.

There are atleast 50 correct entries every week and my name figures in the list most of the time but only 1 lucky winner wins a Cross Pen, which I'm determined to win atleast once...actually twice, one for my sister and one for me;-D.

The above picture is my submission for this week.
