Hi C'da:
Good to know so much about Bhedai-lota....not sure how much I will remember :).
BTW, do you know that the Baruas (Rajen & Ajanta) have a big 'Bogori-gos' in
their backyard - it was big enough to feed all Houstonians 'bogori-aasaar' last
year.
We got a 'bogori-puli' from them, it has not grown very well yet, and hopefully
it will. We have a 'modhuri-aam gos' (well, not a 'gos' yet) also.
Had to brag about Houston again. :)
