Vishy's Indian English Dictionary: crib
crib./krib/. To complain. In most observed cases though, it's closer to kvetching or whinging. According to the Indian English sense of this word, a crib sheet would be what Martin Luther nailed to the door of a Catholic church to start off the Reformation, and not a handy précis of several useful formulae to take with you to an examination room or a sheet of paper found in a baby's sleep area. Typical usage includes "Why do you keep cribbing and ruining my day, yaar?" or "She should simply stop cribbing and adjust."
