Neither. Turns out that this is a melon and, among the zillion fruits and vegetables that we have encountered here during our sojourn, more evidence of cool stuff in India.
On another, unrelated note, we are going to Goa next weekend, Rishikesh (spelling?) the weekend after that and Phuket, Thailand the weekend after that. Super duper whirl windy but I think it was Confucius who said "He who hesitates is lost". Wait, is that right? Was that Rilke? Schopenhauer? Whatever.[Image] [Image]

Yo!
I think that is known as a "Muskmelon/Cantaloupe". In Hindi it is called "khur-boo-zaa"!
