    GO YOU! I ate Oprah's Favorite Pasta three times in the last two weeks, but I needed butter & cheese in it.

    (I'm deathly afraid of brain injuries.)

    When I read a book with a meandering plot, it probably should at least have compelling character development. Failing that, decent writing. Please. Something.

    At least the setting is nice.

    I got curious, googled and found no simple 'what it is'.
    My best understanding is that it is samagri which is used for hawan. Hawan is a vedic ritual, and samagri is a powder made up of herbs and roots of which a pinch is taken and put in a bowl. I'm not clear what happens next ... perhaps fire is applied.
    Here is a link to a seller who gives some more description. And happy birthday to you :)

    I couldn't find it either. Do you eat it, smoke it, throw it, light it on fire...?

    I reckon it is one of the sacred objects you throw a pinch of into the Havan Kund (sacrificial fire), during the ritual.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Havanam

    This quote begins 33 lines from the bottom of the ritual, as long as the browser it open enough to avoid extra word-wrap.

    I would be paranoid about my co-workers if they gave me something like that, unless it was in jest.

    Watched an episode of Sons of Guns last night and was impressed with their "AK Sniper Rifle".

    I could watch bees pollinating flowers all day long. It's just as good as, if not better than, owning fish.

    The morning glories look beautiful today. My roommate's sword-tails mutated in the pond, with similar results.
