Isn't it a bit outre'? Is this word in the English dictionary meaning , Come, Come , now Gridman . I have seen this as a RARA AVIS in crosswords and to be kosher to the non-Telugus (I do understand every word of Telugu spoken and hence got the answer easily ) you could have chosen to clue this as Rara Avis. In English crosswords, using Telugu is indeed a Rara Avis !Emandi, CV Sir ?raju umamaheswarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107883886526369417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-63827587699207851362017-01-17T21:20:09.352+05:302017-01-17T21:20:09.352+05:30Lover of the Russian queenLover of the Russian queenVasanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032858551414707310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-19213307508545892552017-01-17T20:41:32.665+05:302017-01-17T20:41:32.665+05:30ra is DD in Telugu!
