I fully agree with you that this post has got some of the brillant people giving their views and hence enhancing greatly the content for any reader. I envy most of them as they are so natural and I have observed them that they leave some of the best lines that I can imagine. Some of their views shows how well travelled, scholarly & erudite they are. Chilika Lake is the one of the few places I would like to travel in Orissa. I have heard that one can see many water birds too there. I was surprised to read Patrick's comment about biological way to contain Jalkumbhi, as its a big mess for the lakes of Udaipur (My native place). Thanks again Rajeev for the generous praise. I am also travelling with you & enjoying your Himalayan Odyssy. Thanks Rajeev for going through it and leaving the comment.

Your comment on the open lagoon reminds me of what I felt at Chilika lake - a vast water body connected to sea a kind of back water as well, this year. I have heard a lot about the backwaters of Kerala and I got a chance to travel with you. Those snaps are superb. Taadi, as I remeber, used to be the favourite drink of labourers in north India, probably due to its lower price, and was known to have worse side effects. Anyways, I am not equipped to discus further on this;-) When I first read in your post about the African Moss, the first thought that came to mind was whether it was Jalkumbhi, as was it to be eventually. Thanks again. Rajeev Manish,
