Spice Garden ,Goa was quite an interesting place to see.Though initially we were reluctant to go there , we enjoyed it at the end of the day.
So where do our most common spices come from :
Betel Nuts (Supari) come from the yellow fruit above
Pepper and white pepper are here.The red fruit is dried for black pepper and boiled for white pepper.
Cardamom appears at the bottom of this herb.
Cinnamon(DalChini) and Bay leaves(Tej Patta) come from one tree
Those green buds are cloves(laung)
All your herbal tea from this lemon grass

Very nice Pics Aryan's Mom and I knew you were related to NM is some way - I thought may be school friends or something :)
i liked all your goa pics... its always interesting to see a place through someone else's eyes/pics :)
and i too wouldn't have felt one bit nice if i was in your place and treated like second-class citizens in our own country... but i've noticed as a people we all suffer this complex!
