na bhindi hai na tinda hai
jaan buhat sharminda hai
What is it?
The photo here shows a tractor-trolley full of a seasonal crop brought to Lahore for sale. From the post title I’ve already given you two hints that it is neither bhindi (okra) nor tinda (English word for ‘tinda’ is unknown to me). So what else could it be? Answer to this quiz has been revealed in comments section below under my name.

Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
lmao on aloe vera!
ANSWER REVEALED:
‘ye jo public hai ye sab jaanti hai’ … Despite my intentions of some challenge, this quiz proved to be quite easy. From the very first comment our readers guessed it right. Yes it is tractor trolley filled with Cauliflower (phool gobhi).
I chose this photo b/c i was impressed by the way this crop is getting transported. The white eatable flower (phool) part of the crop has been packed towards inside to save it from dust etc. This is a very impressive and indegenous way of packaging. The packaging is so well that you cannot see any white flower part anywhere in the photo.
I did not know this was cauliflower until I read the caption that came with the original photo.
Good job all!
It’s phool gobhi.
