Recalling a Kwality chicken tikka masala in India | Brief letters
Curry in Delhi | Elderly resilience | Jeremy Clarkson | Ransomware attack on the Guardian
I have a clear recollection of eating chicken tikka masala in August 1971 in Delhi, India. It was with my parents in Kwality restaurant in the then Connaught Place area (Ali Ahmed Aslam, inventor of chicken tikka masala, dies at 77, theguardian.com, 21 December).

Re your report on feisty 95-year-olds (I don't fall, I slide': older people rebel to keep sense of control, research finds, 21 December), my mother at 99 fell in her back garden and lay there for an hour before luckily being seen by a neighbour. To the question Why didn't you press your pendant for help?", she answered, Oh that's just for emergencies". Fortunately, it was a sunny day.
