That sounds right, Mridul. The 'potol' are really waxy - and not artificially
made to shine like they do to the cucumbers and tomatoes in the grocery stores
here. It is good to hear from you and thanks!!

Alpana Ba,

Hi All: Could anybody tell me what is the English name of Potol - yes, the
vegetable that is abundant during the summer(?) in Assam and $9.00 a pound in
the US :). Like any other vegetables, I was never crazy about it but it is
okay. But the hindusthani(?) name 'parowol' for 'potol' is just driving me
nuts. I would rather talk about it in English. :) Oh, please don't think this
now: 'eh, aami imaan sirius kotha paati aasu - dex-bidexor baare-boronia
rajnitir kotha-r logote` upor-khapor kotha, eo akou aahil eta paak-ghoror xoru
kotha eta loi'. I better go home to take care of our two beautiful (I better
say, handsome before they feel insulted, but they are too beautiful - you know
what I mean, if you ever have had a dog at home) dogs. Have a great evening,
Everyone!!
