A lovely portrait!
Richard, António, and Sajo: Thank you, all.
Love these images and your theme. Hard working people of my Goa.
Loved it. The ineffable beauty of just being yourself. Extraordinary.
Lovely portrait. Appreciate how pretty and dignified it is.
Now that is some pumpkin amigo! Do they roast the pumpkin seeds then eat them as some Americans do? They are very tasty roasted and healthy. Many delicious soups and pies from that monster! Always love to see the markets of foreign lands! So colorful! So educational also to a Westerner!
Dan: Thank you. Pumpkin is used in a variety of ways in India. Different kinds of curries, pan fried preparations, even in some desserts.

On October 9, 2023, Travis Gienger from Anoka, Minnesota, set the world record for the heaviest pumpkin, weighing 2749 pounds.
Atanu: Yes, it was tongue-in-cheek. We seem to think in parallel, as I Googled for the world’s largest pumpkin and found what you did.
Beautiful…I always love Goa and its people from your Cam.
Thank you, Sarmila.
