It’s touch is such gleaming that may actually not care to peel it, peeling leaves it with a light green to white surface, I usually deep fry it for trying it with other vegetables as mix. Or it is just boiled with curry preparation.My childhood memories are so broad about it , I was living in Nirala Nagar, Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, my mother (84, on 5th July ) is so well versed in cooking, those days were of stoves using wood and other fodders, she used to prepare it with rakhiya bari, a spicy mate with boiled rice.  📷 I am so fond of that dish that I too had prepared it a lot more time, at my in-law’s house and I love to know their reaction, I remember I had two fully grown trees outside my house always loaded in between February to April, my father uses to distribute it in bundles from free hand in the whole colony. 📷 Again when I see it in my garden in Raipur at my in-law’s house, I clearly vision about my ‘taste',  in this backdrop I remember some bullies too living around somewhere our home who use to shot flowers, I laugh how bad I feel due to such ‘huge’ loss, we would be unable to give them in it’s grown form. My mother used to tell me it’s extremely beneficial for skin and it strengthens hair. Whole of it has certain or other  uses my brother some way back said me “Seema , I consulted with its specialist for any home remedies for hypertension problems to which he hesitantly told for  Sahjan leaves, I too understand why they would prefer for such desi tricks rather than their tactics.” That brush-tailed company:- To adore it or chase it, was my cool experience, they loved a lot more those flowers growing at high branches. Ram-Sakha, once contributing at Ram Setu, now in my garden lives hand in hand. 📷Yeah! the flower lovers, hard to capture, moreover this season, I had no photos for them, besides one:📷 "Do not bother for their free swing" 📷https://insparedtime.blogspot.com/2020/07/yesterdays-venture.html

Today is the Sunset day of Jacob Morenga (1875 - September 20, 1907) chief leader in the Namibian insurrection against the German Empire which took place between 1904 and 1908, and was best known for forging an alliance between the rival Herero and Namaqua nations. Born in 1875 to a Herero mother and Nama father, Morenga was educated by missionaries and employed as a mineworker in South Africa. He joined the insurrections against German colonial rule in then South West Africa and took part in small attack forces during the early 1900s, but it wasn't until October 1903 that Morenga began to earn his reputation amongst his people and the enemy. With just 11 followers and few weapons, Morenga was forced to leverage the few advantages he had against one of the mightiest military powers in the world of that period. Where the enemy was overburdened with shiny weaponry and confusing chains of command, Morenga operated with speed, surprise and local knowledge - the essence of guerilla warfare. With every successful raid, his status grew and followers flocked to him. He performed stunts, stealing horses from sleeping sentries and leaving behind letters asking them to feed their animals better, adding to his growing legend. The 11 original men he started with soon became 150 and by 1905 he had 300 soldiers under his command. After more than fifty battles against German troops, Morenga was eventually captured, taken to South Africa and imprisoned. After a short period behind bars, the British forces released him under one condition: he could never return to his homeland again. Ignoring the command, he crossed the Orange River and travelled back into South West Africa. Wasting no time, he began where he had left off, gathering men around him from every tribe to continue the fight. On 20 September 1907, Morenga died during battle. He was shot by the German-British forces. He was just 32. As one of Namibia's nine national heroes, Sam Nujuma paid tribute to him at his inauguration: "Morenga had a vision of broad African nationalism which transcended narrow ethnic loyalties and he was therefore designated as 'the man of the future'."
