Let me say here why I think this is not Stellaria media.
1. In Stellaria media, stems are hairless, with a single line of
hairs. In Swagat's pics, the stem is overall hairy.
2. In Stellaria media, leaves are also hairless. In Swagat's pics,
leaves are quite hairy.
The genus Stellaria has many more confusingly similar species. I think
we need to explore more.
