I just noticed Vijayasankar ji's response (the response could not stick to this thread because the original post lacks subject line).
Vijayasankar ji's response: It is *Ximenia americana* of Olacaceae. Fruits are edible, taste sour. Thanks very much Vijayasankar ji for the correct ID ... my guess was purely based on the lookalike fruit.! I do have one picture of fruits of *Ximenia americana ...* http://www.flickr.com/photos/91314344@N00/5780500349/in/photolist-9NNzn8-9BQ7Jn Regards.
