Usha Di, I think the ID, *Tradescantia pallida*, is correct and my images do match with the species at - Dave's Garden<http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/17890/>. I think the first pic in my post also shows that the both side of the leaves are violet. So, it cannot be *Rhoeo discolor.... * That's why i had mentioned i am not Usha Di... :)
And, Usha Di, not only this time, long before i knew that if we make a list of 100 most important persons, covering last 150 years, who contributed greatly to enhance quality of life, be it science or arts, cinema, music etc., i think, a particular European community, we are talking about, contributed the most. Some of the most powerful & developed countries should admit that! Bishesh gumpha jukta ekjon-er proti ekoda big-boss-er kritagna thaka uchit !!!
