Congratulations! The woman of the month. Nice reading it. Yes Gargji I accept she takes a lot of interest in the group, tell nice stories, and gives a prank when needed. She appears to be self made, self moulded lady. Very perticular, and strict. Ushadi this is reading and appreciating you. Don't take it otherwise. Hahahah! Gargji you have included me too. Thank you, thank you! Just wait for my retirement. And then I will identify every flower which comes on eflora. (If till then any are left out! Hahahaha!!!!) Madhuri Sent from BlackBerry® on Airtel

But has taken immense interest since then in eFI. This is what she has to say while joining eFI: "Usha Desai, MD Research and Medicine my avocation, done a lot of micro, macro , electron microscopy in past, and now studying Ethnobotany , my motto is "Trees Are Our Mashima©"..... Photographing Trees of Calcutta is one of my ambitions esp tracking down and documenting trees that Benthill wrote about. Just discovered your group through Wikipedia while searching for Ceiba pentandra which is flowering this week 2/25 to 2/28 2011 in Calcutta.... will be pleased immensely if you allow me to join your group....it seems only member can ask for id of unrecognised trees etc , it would help me if I could ask for advice. Thanks, Usha" May be other members know more about her. Already she has sent 140 messages in July'11 & is the highest poster among non-moderators.
