Dear Madam, that is the exact role of this story teller group. You see all of us have so many memories attached to some flowers, fruits, plants, nature. when we see those plants we remember them. They might be some incidences, some readings, some talks, something heard from grandma, grandpa, or sometimes some receipies too. just tell that to the group and pass on your knowledge. This need not be a strict taxanomical knowlege. Because just knowing the plant by name may not make you love it. But if some story attached to the plant you know may make you love it or even to remeber it. Just see one cashew fruit send on the group, had a good discussion but over and above Neilji has sent the bottles of pheni also on the group it is like that------- Awaiting for your stories. love this group in addition to all reasons given by Sirji, because of these beautiful stories too thanks for joining our group Madhuri

In correct scientific way earth rotates in such a way that we see sun going to south from equater, then comes back to equater, goes to north, comes back and cycle continues. If you know these are called as utterayan and dakhinayan. Each side to go and come back on equater it takes 6 months.We celebrate Makarsankrant when sun starts its Dakshinayan. We say new sankraman started. So from 14th January it reaches to extreme south till 14th April and starts its backward journy. This day is celebrated as new year in south known as Yugadi \ Pongal. On this day in south kannada we keep a miror infront of god. Infront of the mirror we keep all colourful vegetables, like brinjol, kakadi, capcicum, tomato, bhendi, chillies, and many more. We also keep lot of fruits. Decorate the mirror with gold chain and flower garland. All decoration is kept ready by the lady of the house on 13th night when everybody goes to sleep. In the morning when everyone weak up they see this wealth in the light of the lamp lighted in front of god and see there own face in the mirror and take blessings. It might be one way of offering the natural wealth to god, multipling it in mirror, and witnessing it self. The lady of the house then makes some fabulous food along with grand payas. Happy Yugadi again. Nabhaji you are correct it is Chaitra and on 4th we celebrated chitra padava which is again a new year for Maharashtrians About Vaishakhi Gurucharanji please.
