This plant has been in our house for last 5 years but I never saw it flowering. It was rumored that it blooms at midnight. The other night I saw it blooming and the flower turned out to be really beautiful. Since my father did not know the name of the plant (he is the the one who knows everything about the plants - I am just the waterboy!) a google search was made. It turned out that the plant has got scores of names, following being prominent:
1. Cereus oxypetalus2. Epiphyllum oxypetalum
3. Phyllocactus oxypetalus
Commonly the flower is know as the Queen of the night and Dutchman's-Pipe Cactus. Information on web suggests that the plant flowers once in a year. But I have found it blooming twice, once in early August and again in September, probably Indian climate suits it. First time there were fifteen buds, four bloomed on the first night and eleven on the second. The second time there were only five or six buds. Plant's name is derived from the way the buds point upwards like a smoking pipe. The buds can be seen opening slightly in the early evening. By midnight the flower is in full bloom and by next morning the flower is closed and the show is over!
the Brahma-kamal, RM! That's what we call it here. Ours flowered after 2 years and there were 12 flowers. And YES, it flowered many times afterwards (second time there were 10 flowers and then 7 or so) Although they say it's only supposed to flower once a year....
ReplyDeleteIf you cut the flower at night and keep it in a polythene bag in the fridge, it will be as beautiful as ever the next morning for your pooja.
Do a google search for 'brahmakamal' too. My aunt had it in her house and she gifted the plant to us. what a beauty! And that lovely scent!
ReplyDeleteFrom wikipedia: Saussurea obvallata, also known as Brahma Kamal, is a species of flowering plant named after Brahma, the Hindu god of creation. It is native to the Himalayas, India, Northern Burma and South-West China.
ReplyDeleteRM, don't you stay near Mussoorie? What kind of temps you have there, is it cold yet? Pune is quite warm and summers are HOT so it's a surprise this plant does so well here too :)
ReplyDeleteUma, some people call this plant brahmkamal but the name Saussurea obvallata stands for the real brahmkamal which is a rare plant found growing at very high altitude of 10000 ft and above. That also happens to be the state flower of Uttarakhand. You can see the photographs of the real Brahmkamal at the following links:

Dehradun, even though close to Mussorie is at a much lower altitude, just 2500 feet above sea level. Right now it is cold here but the temperature in summers would be just comparable to Pune.
Ohh I see! that one does look different. The one we have is exactly like your photo here. I've been to Dehradun as a kid but the closest I went recently is the Corbett National Park 2 years ago. If you EVER, EVER stumble on a peaceful place near the mountains with good cheap broadband, make sure you tell me and nobody else!! lol.
ReplyDeleteI visited Corbett park a long time back in early 90s. Saw a huge herd of elephants grazing just next to Dhikala. They simply ignored the camera toting tourists!
ReplyDeleteI'll be on the lookout for peaceful places with cheap broadband!
I really mean it rm. I am very depressed with city life. I can work from virtually anywhere in the world, but I just live here out of habit, cause I settled here many years ago and because my parents also moved here 6 years ago to be with me (so there's a lot of guilt-tripping involved). Now it's come to a point where my only outings are for buying necessities. There too, crossing the road is dangerous (we live on a highway) and the air is so filthy! Pune has among the highest concentration of particulate pollutants in India. I don't want to live here! I will find a decent furnished flat in a place where I'll atleast feel like breathing.
ReplyDeleteNor do I like this Maharashtrian culture. They're snobs! Even tho my mother tongue is Marathi, I have spent most of my life in North India and I just like it all - the biting cold, the extreme heat, the uncultured people....bring it on! Anything but these Southie snobs.
And this Pune has become like Bombay - you can't stretch an arm or a leg without hitting someone. It's too frickin claustrophobic! I'm gonna die here!! :( These days everybody talks about the 'cost of living' in big cities. Man, it's the cost of dying. They don't even let you die for free, they slowly poison you to death with expensive poisons.
ReplyDeleteUncultured people! I like that! I have only lived in Udaipur, Delhi and Dehradun(I was born here - uncultured by birth!) Udaipur was wonderful place for living, not too large, with tolerant and courteous people.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of living in a very small place with basic amenities (broadband included!) is very appealing. I will let you know if I hear of any such place. The problem is that in the property boom of yesteryears every small place has been purchased lock-stock and barrel by property developers from Delhi. I hope that in the anticipated property market crash they will offload some of their holdings!
I didn't intend to hurt you and if I did please forgive me. When I said 'uncultured' I was referring to two things - how Mumbai and Pune people perceive North Indians, and the way women are treated in North India on the streets.
ReplyDeleteI was born and brought up in MP (and UP) and I find Pune so safe for women. I have spent 15 years here, without the pawing and lewd comments - in MP I couldn't go without one such incident for even one week. And I was a complete nerd who lived below the radar and dressed the part. So yep, one has to accept that with Delhi, MP and UP...A woman who grew up there will never forget that part of growing up in North India. But these days it's not just the women that are unsafe - look at Gurgaon, many men I know relate how they were bullied or beaten up in that area. But Pune and Mumbai have other drawbacks.....you have to get used to tiny spaces, massive traffic jams, power cuts, water cuts, and a lot of pollution. Out here everything is so tiny! The homes, shops, roads...and the people. I NEVER fit into this city...I came here right after my 12th standard looking for a job, I've lived 15 years here and I still feel exactly like I did on my first day here. A stranger.
I am definitely not hurt, i just responded in a lighter vein. In fact we have a saying here that only culture in most of the north india is agriculture! What you say about difficulties faced by women is absolutely right. Delhi itself was very bad but Haryana and UP are much worse (at par with MP.) Dehradun was not that bad till some time back. It used to be very safe for girls. But things are changing here too with migrant labour making up a sizeable proportion of the population.
ReplyDeleteI have been to Mumbai once (when it was Bombay) but never been to Pune. There was a time when Dehradun and Pune were the favourite place for the retired army officers to settle down. But now I guess they can't afford Pune!
rm: A retiree who has a choice need not spend big money on a house here. Even Pune outskirts are going out of reach and those neighbourhoods are very badly planned and facilities such as water supply, power supply, roads are terrible.
ReplyDeleteIn Delhi now matter how much it grows the far-flung neighbourhoods are beautifully planned, with nice roads and good public transport. That is really important - when you look out of the window after buying a 30 lac house you shouldn't feel like you live in a filthy overcrowded dump.
My sister recently bought a house for 32 lacs, I can never find my way to or out of that area...(nor can she...yet!! rofl She has to ask for directions 5 times). All you see is concrete walls and some stupid 2 meter x 2 meter children's playground downstairs. And the bedrooms are so small you can barely fit a double bed in the master bedroom. I feel like an antique in this world lol. I should join a group of oldies, sit on a park bench and say..."Hamare zamane mein ghar kitne bade hote the....Aur gharon mein nal hote the, nal mein paani hota tha...aur bijlee generator se nahi....khambe se aati thi..."
Latest from Dow land:
ReplyDelete"Shares of automaker General Motors Corp. decline to 65-year low"
Good. Now Ratan tata will buy GM provided he gets some funding!
ReplyDeleterm: I strongly suspect that he has no money and the tata teleservices stake was sold cause they offered the best deal. The monopolistic practices of VSNL (before Tata acquired them) have cost Tatas a bunch on lawsuits. Add to that their great love of acquiring firangi companies at a premium....
ReplyDeleteyou may be right. but who has got money these days? Look at me, almost broke. Never thought that I will be almost like Ratan Tata some day!
ReplyDeletethere's good news for you. Mody would be willing to lend you a couple crores at 1% if you set up a plant in his state. I think, plant some exotic weed and pretend to make petrol with it. It usually fools the brightest scientists.
ReplyDeleteWhat an idea! I have begun my search for exotic plant species!
ReplyDeletearre, show them the brahmakamal plant. I'm also showing them the same ;)
ReplyDeleteI've written in my thesis that the brahmakamal plant will yield saffron crude and we are willing to set up our 'plant' next to Tata's plant. For that we need 50 crores at 1% and some land. After 5 years the plant will produce crude. We will call it the people's crude and sell it at 50% off international crude price.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea but are you sure about the pricing? The way crude is falling we may end up selling it for a pittance!

ReplyDeleteIf that doesn't work we can promote it as a weight loss formula. Already there's a million-dollar appetite suppressant in the market made from a cactus.
ReplyDeleterm, write about other plans and birds in your garden...or even the little bugs for that matter...I love reading your style its so laid-back and interesting at the same time.
ReplyDeleteuma, how come you are removing your own posts these days ;)
ReplyDeleteBoth ideas of aph.. and weight loss formula are good and can be easily marketed by spamming and MLM!
My dad will be very happy that someone called his hanky sized lawn a garden! And thanks for liking my style, it is laid back because it belongs to the laziest bum on the earth!
rm, as a typical trader...keep having second thoughts about what I say and do! lol.
ReplyDeleteDon't you turn down my sincere compliment rm...your writing is intelligent and it puts me right in your garden when I read this stuff. I can sniff the greenery and the crisp wintry Dehradun air.
oh yea...MLM is a good idea...I might try that considering that Americans are going broke and if my trading doesn't take off I'll need a way to survive...No matter how bad it gets for other professionals, it will still be lucrative for Americans to outsource MLM and spamming to India lol ;D
ReplyDeleteoutsourcing MLM and spamming to India! I am sure that nobody can beat us here. We shall be world leaders!
ReplyDeleteenlightenment has dawned on me today. The 3K profit which I earned on 18th is actually Rs.1300 after taking out sharekhan's brokerage. Darn!! Would have been 1600 with religare but I'm still way off. Will have to do fewer trades to make any real money.
ReplyDeleteDow up so, looks like 2800 for nifty!?
ReplyDeleteBOOOHOOO....yesterday instead of selling my calls I bought them, I immediately realized but just to be sure checked in my net position in religare...it showed zero net position, so I thought ok, I did sell them. Later I bought back one lot calls, and now my net position shows 250 CE 2900 (Dec series) which is a notional loss of 8K.
ReplyDeleteBOOOOHOOOO.....
Uma:
ReplyDeleteToo bad that you are burdened with too many calls. Now let us hope that Nifty reverts to its linkage with DOW and shows some green tomorrow.
I think I should get out of religare....the software is such a pain.
ReplyDeleteyesterday I pumped in another 40K in my account so that I would feel like taking bigger risks....today I tried with Nifty future and Tata Steel future at the same time...but eventually my sense of caution overruled and I was left with mini nifty....which again I didn't want to carry over. lol.
ReplyDeleterm: upload a piccy of the snow-capped peak which you can see from your house?!
ReplyDeleteuma: the snow melted on the second day. However you can view the "snowclad peaks from my roof" at:

lovely rm :) we also have the Deccan plateau bang across the road from our place....in the monsoons it looks like a golf course....and during winters the moon rises from behind it in a stunning, dramatic way. And there's a Japanese garden near my place (5 minutes' walk).
ReplyDeleteI haven't clicked any pix myself, but here's a link with some pix of the Japanese garden:

was fun talkin to you! I was having visions of becoming kangaal today...each time I add margin to my account I have these visions...because of my past mistakes. When I talked to you I felt I'm not really footpath material and maybe I'll amount to something :) Now I don't feel scared anymore :)
ReplyDeletebtw, I'm impressed with your observation of where Dow actually would be, and how these rich traders are playing global markets. I wonder about that all the time...
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs of the Japanese garden. And golf course like place opposite your house? Lady you are extremly lucky. The only greenery at our place is within the house!
ReplyDeleteYou are only having visions of becoming Kangal whereas I have already informally declared myself as insolvent!
I guess we should learn from those rich traders playing global markets. After all it is our dream to become obscenely rich one day!

ReplyDeleteWe shall overcome...we shall overcome...our trading limitations...some day....may that day be today.
One day, we resolve to be obscenely rich by trading because we deserve to. We are almost there. Grit your teeth and fight that loser impulse one more time, because killing it, is the ticket to riches.

ReplyDeleteso you're not going to trade with us on Monday?
ReplyDeleteI'll miss yeh :(
be back safe and soon
Uma
I am taking my notebook with TATA USB device along so might be able to say good morning and good night to my teachers in trading!
ReplyDeleteno, you take care of your work in Delhi...forget about trading...no tension.
ReplyDeletei only said good morning and good night - nothing in between !
ReplyDeleteI've decided to restrict myself to 6 trades per week. I don't want to lose it all to broker commissions. that's my new resolution :)
ReplyDeleterm, say all you want...but I don't want you to be hassled while you travel that's all.
ReplyDeletegood resolution, a better one would be to become a broker and no trade at all on proprietary account!
ReplyDeletewell, if I did resolve not to trade at all...I could do that. That is my goal...not to make my world revolve around trading. I'm trying to seriously build a couple of money-making blogs. One that I am working on right now is on marketing (sales letter templates, presentation templates and the like). Here's the link:
ReplyDeletehttp://freesalesletter.blogspot.com/
I'd like to make a lot of money somehow, but without the day-job drudgery. I mean I don't mind working hard every day for 1-2 years but I hope that will create a passive income.
Wish you success in creating a passive income. My own aim is to do nothing after sixty, except what pleases me, but I don't have much time left to attain that goal!
ReplyDeleterm: we're already doing what we love! :)
ReplyDeletesure, but then one could take long breaks, go to forests, live in tents etc. etc.!
ReplyDeleterm: if we trade any longer then we can also live in tents!! rofl.
ReplyDeleterm: my sister is off to Delhi too. She was actually supposed to leave when the terrorist attacks happened, so she's going now.
ReplyDeleterm, my lucky day....made nearly 10K off my SBIN short (2 futures shorted at 1098, SL 1101, covered 1055). Should have shorted RIL. SBI just got stuck at 1055 while nifty cracked another 50 points from there. Was watching Reliance all the time and wondering why I didn't touch that one...maybe because of my disaster of a short on Friday rofl (lost 2.6K)
ReplyDeleteThere are 10 reasons I wana get rich:
ReplyDelete1. People I consider idiots are rich

5. People I consider idiots are rich
6. People I consider idiots are rich

9. People I consider idiots are rich
10. People I consider idiots are rich
that's it. there's nothing I want to buy, nothing I want to own, nothing I want to prove.
ReplyDeleteI just want to get rich because so many idiots are rich. PERIOD!
missed you, rm! come back soon! this game is getting so exciting :D
ReplyDeletePS: lost some money today, but lucky my SL got me out with minimal damage.
good morning rm! how long u gonna be in Dilli da Billi?
ReplyDeleteboring trading session...I added some more losses with hasty jumping around. Have got to reduce my position size...can't handle this ride with futures.
ReplyDeleteDid you see tata steel? bullish breakout, shot up 10% or so
ReplyDeleterm: no looking back for Nifty, watchout 2833 EASY!
ReplyDeleterm: tata steel touched 192 intra-day!! I sold off my calls.
ReplyDeletecome back and trade with us rm!!
ReplyDeleteI miss you!
:(
hey uma, glad to know that you made a packet in tisco! I came back this afternoon, will be on the observer deck tomorrow!
ReplyDeleterm: check out these tata steel calls
ReplyDeleteCA 185 Rs. 16.9
CA 200 Rs. 8.05
CA 220 Rs. 4.3
think about it. tata steel might cool off a bit from here.
some more observations.
ReplyDeletetata Steel was at 155 when market was around 2300 (recently when we made that low). Thereafter, bears hammered it down to 148 in an attempt to crack Nifty. That didn't work, so now if you calculate the levels, the corresponding level for 2800 is 188.6, very close to today's closing. Further rise might not be so explosive and it would move in line with Nifty. Unless bulls are really keen to trigger a short-covering here. My force index calculation shows that bulls are getting maximum bang for the buck here, that might be because of the massive shorts in this counter.
Bears might crack tata steel down to 173.6
ReplyDeleterm! you got a new pic up! this one is nice too but I liked the previous one even more.
ReplyDeleteuma: actually this pic would be more in consonance with jaggu's Garfield! Both have ear to ear grin!
ReplyDeleteyep rm :)
ReplyDeleterm: sorry couldn't reply on time you question about buying back the calls. Long is the way to go rm....but be willing to take some volatility in your stride.
ReplyDeleteSharekhan was making me pull my hair out today! I wanted to exit mininifty long and the damn thing made me short on 80 mininifty because I thought my order was being rejected but each time it was pooling pending orders which were executing some 10 minutes later! And the error I was getting was that the market is CLOSED! Just barely managed to keep some of my hair on.
ReplyDeleteand yep consider tata steel 200 CA, it was going for 10 bucks at closing, which is reasonable. I had bought for 6.25 bucks when tata steel was at 179. These calls will probably perform better than Nifty
ReplyDeleteuma:
ReplyDeleteNo worry. I bought back the call since I was itching to go long!
Tisco is the one I will be rooting for on Wednesday. Meanwhile, have a happy weekend!
rm: stay in that long. Today I felt just terrible. I was supposed to hold my position till my own target of 200, but I had squared off my CA160 already...yep I had picked up another far-out call but where does this kind of trading get me? nowhere. I made a fool of myself by not holding long enough. I won't make any money this way...
ReplyDeleteWhen I used to do this type of impulsive trading earlier, I used to forgive myself. Today I feel, I've been very dumb and hurt my own interests very much.
ReplyDeleteuma: I guess that the first step in making a living out of trading is to know where we erred, you are already there! So that day is not far away! Be cheerful! Hope that I will also be there some day.
ReplyDeleteIt only happened once that I clung to a nifty call for fifteen days and earned good profit on that. However I kept on booking profit on the lower call and buying next call, e.g., when nifty reached 4200 I booked profits on 4100 call and bought 4200, when nifty came to 4300, I booked profit on that and bought 4300 and so on and so forth. But I took the precaution of always buying at the money call.
haan....some days I feel like kicking myself...hard!!!!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, those green horns of yours might catch stray tv signals.
uma: catching the tv signal is a great idea. I wonder whether they will catch the satellite tv signal - I'll ask jaggu to implant a settop box at the base of the horns :)
ReplyDeletelooks like we'll see 3100...but at this point I plan to wait for an opportune short. Reliance has crashed repeatedly from 1400, let's see how it works this time around
ReplyDeleterm: got some personal work on Monday & Tues so I might not log on the net.
ReplyDeleterm: u been passing around pix of, ah, a horizontal bull. What's with that? I think we'll have a bullish Monday
ReplyDeleteuma: there was a nine page article behind the fallen bull! The author recognized the financial fraud the investment banks were perpetrating far back in 1980s and wrote about that in columns. He also writes about Steve Eisman, who recognized this fraud and was so sure that he launched a hedge fund which shorted the bonds issued by companies involved in subprime lending!
ReplyDeleteI thought that you would like to read that since you are a confirmed shorter ;)
rm: thank you, that's a very interesting operative - shorting the bonds. Another letter doing the rounds the one Warren Buffet wrote to shareholders sometime in 2003:
ReplyDeletehttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/2817995.stm
You can help admiring this plain-speaking man Considering that he has been buying lately, it shows why he is in cash now ;)
rm, the latest is that many Indians are slamming BBC for repeatedly referring to the Mumbai terrorists as "gunmen", while they use the terrorist word freely for the 911 attacks and the attacks in UK. The BBC still have their hangover from the days of the Raj. Haahaa...now I can imagine how bitter Brits must have been to leave India!
ReplyDeleteOh, and Obama the ah. recently clubbed "Kashmir" in South-Asian nations in a speech. Kutton ki poonch seedhi nahi hoti!
uma: These firangs take their cue from Indian secular(read pro-muslim)media. You would recollect that before mumbai attack the media was very sympathetic towards those caught by police because they were muslims. Even though a police officer was killed in Delhi when they were interrogating suspects in Jamia (a muslim stronghold) all the media was busy providing a platform to the critics of police, and the VC of Jamia University used public funds to fight the case of those who fought the police. The so-called secular media also regularly provides a platform for Kashmir seperatists. No wonder that foreigners think that these people have a genuine cause!
ReplyDeletewhat i am trying to say that our country is full of dogs with long curly tails!
ReplyDeleterm: I think I'm also one of the seculars - the way Raj Thakray and others are using the Hinduism vote bank...I think these days everything is a ploy.
ReplyDeleteuma: it is good to know that. I guess i will have to post another pic, the comment column has become too deep :)
ReplyDeletewhat's ur google talk Id rm? I tried to invite "rmsharma" but not sure that's you.
ReplyDeletemine is uma01666
rm: I just remembered one thing - the big market movements don't start and end in a day or two....they take months and months to build and complete. So, that's a critical factor to consider when u're feeling jumpy.
ReplyDeleteright you are, so i have to learn to be rational and cool.
ReplyDeleteSo what else is up at Dehra of Dun fame? :)
ReplyDeleteI posted this msg for u on genius' blog:
ReplyDeleterm: look now don't sell your call, BUT use it to short a mini nifty close to 3100 level. You COULD make a bigger packet
Thank you uma, that is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteIn hindsight, this might not be worth it!!
ReplyDeleteIf you short at 3070 level, your risk is as follows:
Rs. 47 x 50 = R. 2350 (cost of call)
Rs. 30 x 20 = Rs. 600
Total: Rs. 2950 is your risk
Your potential reward:
If Nifty closes at, say, 2800
Rs 4000
Considering that Nifty is more likely to close over 2800, then you're probably risking around 3K to gain around 3K
Not worth it. I'd suggest you to wait and dispose off the call over 3100.
I have done a lot of covered futures shorts before but this time market is on a rebound and it might not be advisable based on risk to reward ratio.
thank you uma!
ReplyDeleterm: interesting comment about the 4th witch hehe.
ReplyDeletei read that somewhere on the net :)
ReplyDeleteuma: Have you seen rajandran's nifty 60 minute chart? It is just like a step-ladder since 3rd
ReplyDeleteDEC. Wonder when the descent will start?

rm: yep that's what it looks like. Genius has another chart with the target over 3200. Why are you wondering about descent? There will be many intra-day slips and volatility but bulls have shown their mettle. Remain long with a trailing stop. You're doing great and I envy your patience :)
ReplyDeleteuma: what you are calling patience may be pure lethargy :)
ReplyDeleterm: switch to Jan strangle if you wish
ReplyDeleteCE3300 + PE2800. Or, just wait for a nice level to go long or short...
I'm gonna give myself 1 month with 4 trades/10 days. If that works, I'll carry on. Otherwise bye bye to trading
ReplyDeletegood resolution. I hope that i will be equally resolute if i decide to quit trading.
ReplyDeleteyep, if I can't change myself I have to stop trading. Hopefully, even if I stop trading I will learn a lesson in self-restraint.
ReplyDeleterm: in coming sessions nifty likely to be in band of 3055-2907, if this breaks, downside can be steep and most probably below 2800. If 3055 is breached on upside, then next target 3112, then if 3112 is breached....we might dream of 3200
ReplyDeleteyahoo charts is just the most fantastic free tool out there
ReplyDeleterm read this, if you want a big laugh:

I was howling with laughter!!
uma, that is negerian scam and you won't believe it but many people fall for it. They give their bank account details and permissions and repent at leisure. One of the victim was Manubhai Shah who is considered father of the consumer movement in India - almost what Ralph Nadar was for auto industry in US. He gave them lakhs of rupees from his organizations account with a hope of multiplying his money. Some hope.

yea! I'm surprised that such successful and famous people have fallen for the scam. I thought only desperate people must be falling for it!! I stand corrected lol.

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year........!!!!!!!!! Thought I'd wish u at midnight
ReplyDelete:)
Thank you Uma. A Very Happy & Prosperous New Year to you too!
ReplyDeletejust calculated force index for all 10 top traded, nothing impressive! infact an anti-climax.
ReplyDeleteConsidering that volumes are down and bears still couldn't crack Nifty...it's either because futures turnover is higher, or it's because bears are backing off and leaving the field to bulls.
Only time will tell what this means...
