[Assam] Bhedelilot --- Hindi name ! ! !

Sun Apr 27 19:47:10 PDT 2008

Hi C'da: 

Good to know so much about Bhedai-lota....not sure how much I will remember :). 

BTW, do you know that the Baruas (Rajen & Ajanta) have a big 'Bogori-gos' in their backyard - it was big enough to feed all Houstonians 'bogori-aasaar' last year. 

We got a 'bogori-puli' from them, it has not grown very well yet, and hopefully it will. We have a 'modhuri-aam gos' (well, not a 'gos' yet) also. 

Had to brag about Houston again. :)
