Thanks for the explanation, Ganesh. It makes complete sense to name the company if it is originated and that too with a product from Assam - the famou Assam tea. Too bad, it changed the name though.
Hope you are doing well. You must be eagerly waiting for this month to be over. Stop by at our place when you all go to Dallas - just give me enough time (like, two months :)) so that I can tidy up the house.
With best wishes,
- Alpana B'deu.
