    Jayasala, from one newbie to another : )
    This is what I've gathered about this thread:

    - Only picture puzzles. Original ones.
    - No text puzzles.
    - There is usually an ongoing theme for the picture puzzles.
    - At a time, there is only one unsolved puzzle active.
    - Don't post answer to a puzzle or a too explicit guess.
    - Post hints for those still solving, but keep the hints cryptic.
    - textual search in google to solve. Reverse picture search is cheating.

    Excellent primers on puzzle solving posted recently by Gauri, and helpful suggestions by 1Sandhya, JAG, et al. And, about puzzle creation by Sokanasanah.

    I think I have it from the 4th letter down. Working out the rest.

    If you remove the 4th letter, a scorpion is just waiting. -- Sting
    If you remove the 2nd letter you can listen to a cuckoo. -- Sing
    If you remove the last letter you will go to hell. -- Sin
    If you remove the first letter you can peep in. -- In ?? Not sure.
    If you remove the 8th letter -alas, don't allow the ego to remain with you. -- I??

    Only last night I sorted out the clock puzzle after drawing so many clocks wasting paper and now I have one more to solve!

    There is a nine lettered word to surprise you.If you remove the letters one by one, the remaining words still have meaning.

    If you remove the 6th letter,(from the left)it is a new beginning -- Starting
    If you remove the 5th letter,be careful some one is looking -- Staring
    If you remove the 3rd letter you will be bound -- String
    If you remove the 4th letter, a scorpion is just waiting. -- Sting
    If you remove the 2nd letter you can listen to a cuckoo. -- Sing
    If you remove the last letter you will go to hell. -- Sin
    If you remove the first letter you can peep in. -- In
    If you remove the 8th letter -alas, don't allow the ego to remain with you. -- I

    The word is
    Startling.

    I think the instructions needed to say that once a letter is removed it is not replaced. Took me a while to figure that out.

    @Gauri03,

    Does it mean we can expect the next picture clue now? I couldn't wait to see it. :)

    Theme: India

    The four images point to something very associated with India for many of us.
    Not a person. Is tangible.
    Difficulty Level: "Are you smarter than a 3rd grader" level. :)
