When I saw the plant for the first time I thought it is bottle gourd (Ghiya or Lauki) when I saw the fruit, I thought it will grow into a pumpkin. After few days I thought of it as off season watermelon but it turned out to be a melon!

Amrit, displaying it proudly!

Hi Alka,
Your mystery melon / balcony garden is beautiful.
I am looking any relations of a Dwivedi who lived in Boston Massachusettes USA in 1969 while working on a PHd at Harvard.
People called him Prem.
Thank you.

Hey, You know for the first time seeing the picture of little fruit, I too guessed its watermelon / melon , But seeing the picture name kaddu1, I thought its some hybrid kind kaddu.
Now we can say that parishram ka fal “Mithaa” hota hai.. See one thing more, your new mouse appeared in the new of melen - to say as if “Mein bhi hun “: )

Coeli, I have written you a mail. Hope you have received that mail.
Sudipta, nahi yaar! Those people are very lucky who have access to home grown things, fresh and unadulterated. I’m not that lucky.
Maverick, nahi, its the natural one. I have not interfered with the process of nature.
Prem Piyush, You are absolutely right. And nahi, mouse abhi ganesha ji ke paas chala gaya. Shayd aap ke home page pe hai. dhyan se dekhiyega.

Elementary, somebody wanted a kaddu, took it while you were sleeeping; and as left the muskmelon for you. Of course, he used fevikwik. :o)
