From Our Balcony

kaddu1

When I saw the plant for the first time I thought it is bottle gourd (Ghiya or Lauki) when I saw the fruit, I thought it will grow into a pumpkin. After few days I thought of it as off season watermelon but it turned out to be a melon!

    Hi Alka,

    Your mystery melon / balcony garden is beautiful.

    I am looking any relations of a Dwivedi who lived in Boston Massachusettes USA in 1969 while working on a PHd at Harvard.

    People called him Prem.

    Thank you.

    Hey, You know for the first time seeing the picture of little fruit, I too guessed its watermelon / melon , But seeing the picture name kaddu1, I thought its some hybrid kind kaddu.

    Now we can say that parishram ka fal “Mithaa” hota hai.. See one thing more, your new mouse appeared in the new of melen – to say as if “Mein bhi hun “: )

    Coeli, I have written you a mail. Hope you have received that mail.

    Sudipta, nahi yaar! Those people are very lucky who have access to home grown things, fresh and unadulterated. I’m not that lucky. 🙁

    Maverick, nahi, its the natural one. I have not interfered with the process of nature. 🙂

    Prem Piyush, You are absolutely right. And nahi, mouse abhi ganesha ji ke paas chala gaya. Shayd aap ke home page pe hai. dhyan se dekhiyega. 🙂

    Elementary, somebody wanted a kaddu, took it while you were sleeeping; and as left the muskmelon for you. Of course, he used fevikwik. :o)
