Churakka-Payar Thenga Arachu Vachathu (Bottle gourd-Cowpeas with ground coconut). Under All Recipes, South Indian, Vegetarian Dishes. Though I had heard of Churakka aka bottle gourd aka Lauki(Hindi), I didn't have any idea as to what it loooked like. It was after marriage that I came to know of it from a dear friend of mine :-) As I don't remember having this vegetable ever, I was clueless as to what to make of this.
R. Kelly Acquitted of Child Pornography Charges. Singer R. Kelly was acquitted of child pornography charges on Friday, putting an end to a six-year ordeal for the singer/songwriter/producer, who in 2002 was accused of engaging in sex acts with an underaged girl. The Cook County jury on the case deliberated for 7 1/2 hours before finding Kelly, 41, innocent on all 14 counts.
Shapiro also tells Kelly that Simpson whispered âyou were rightâ in his ear in the moments after a jury acquitted him in 1995. Simpson was later found liable for the deaths by a civil jury. Heâs now serving prison time on a Nevada armed robbery conviction. Shapiro didnât offer his thoughts on John Travoltaâs portrayal of him in âPeople vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story,â the FX series that put the case back in the headlines.
