Yesterday, after seeing the same near-half Moon in the clear Indian Winter evening sky, I set up my 25 yo basic Toysrus (Pasadena, LA) brought telescope in my 'limited view' west side view balcony for a few gen alpha and younger neighbours' kids..
They saw it up close REAL for the 1st time!!

P.S: Interestingly, in Hindi, 'Alu Gobi Parantha' means Potato-Cabbage parantha and not Alu 'Patta' Gobi parantha... Nuances of languages / etymology!

Between, this is traditional Maharashtrian rice prep which we call 'Kobi bhat' ( Cabbage Rice)...

You are right! My bad for the typo! Gobi is cauliflower and patta(leafy) gobi is cabbage in Hindi..
As I am from Maharashtra state, with my mother tongue being Marathi, in which, we call cabbage as 'Kobi' and cauliflower as simply 'flower'.. Constant typo issue for me typing it in Hindi..😐
