very nice... Dinesh loved the vernacular names... and tree pic 2 and 7 in particular... the shapes are graceful...
wonder if any body has seen them in Bengal... (TAnay? Rakesh? Bimalda?? Dalia?? who else??) when we were young this is what made our toothbrush every morning, we had to chew it to make the brush, even in our ultramodern western styled bathroom fittings!!! Grandfather's admonitions and mom making sure we followed... and end result? None of us has had any tooth decay or cavities... till now In our fifth to seventh decade of life... its not completely genetic..because my uncles' kids who did not follow grandpa's advice... all have had their root canals dug up, cavities filled etc etc... someone should do some solid science based research... I am not a dentist otherwise I sure would do it... or would have had graduate students/residents who could... ANY DENTIST AMONG our eflora family??? Ayurvedic textbooks do mention tooth protective actions in some details, so its not patentable, so no mercenary ideated man or woman should take hold of this story of mine... and turn it into a personal profit... others with benevolent ideas to help humanity are most welcome to take this as a starting point to start looking... Or other s with similar stories , please share usha di ====== On Jan 5, 1:07 pm, Prashant Awale <[email protected]> wrote: > Fantastic. > Regards > Prashant > > > > > > > > On Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 9:45 AM, Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]> wrote: > > Yes Dinesh ji > > Very nice set of photographs > > > -- > > Dr. Gurcharan Singh > > Retired Associate Professor > > SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 > > Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018. > > Phone: 011-25518297 Mob: 9810359089 > >http://people.du.ac.in/~singhg45/ > > > On Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 7:49 AM, Balkar Singh <[email protected]> wrote: > > >> Excellent Shots!!!! > > >> On Wed, Jan 4, 2012 at 11:46 PM, Dinesh Valke > >> <[email protected]>wrote: > > >>> *Acacia nilotica *(L.)
