Variables and the invariables
Out of PCM or physics, chemistry and maths, what I loved during engineering was physics. Even now the love continues. What makes it preferrable to the others would deserve an entire post.

Souffle au coeur, Le & Marilena de la P7

Kaa in bengali this flower is named as noyontara . We have it in our garden at kanpur .
@vineeta you are welcome :).
@samrat that is interesting to know. do you folks know about the medicinal properties as well?

hey sush, i recall ‘periwinkle’ from old classic novels. I think I have seen the pink variety as well. Haven’t seen the blue one.
