Can we eat these?

Please take a guess. What are these? Whatever they are, or whatever they look like, do you think they are American, or Indian? Are these edible? Don't be fooled. 
This is something that reminds me of the spring colors. More of flowers actually. But, I do have a small story behind it, which I'll share once the guesswork is over, may be after a couple of days.

These are Gems - Cadbury gems candies to be precise.
I tried to confuse our friends since they also look like M & M's as pointed out by some of our friends.
This was my last stash of the pack that I got from my trip to India, a couple of months ago in February. I was asked to buy these by my girls, who seem to think Gems are very special in terms of their color and taste. You see, they are used to eating M & M's all these years, and had no connection to Gems since Gems are not easily available in America. My kids got exposed to it when a relative of ours gifted some packets of Gems as a going away present. Ever since they got their first taste of it (3 yrs ago), my girls seem to think Gems are more tastier than M & M's. I think they are right! I brought about 10 packets of these candies, and I shared all of them. But, a couple of weeks ago, when I was rummaging through the house for something sweet to munch on, I had to resort to stealing from Surya's stash of Gems. And, I didn't feel guilty! Don't I deserve to eat some too, without asking during desperate times!:)
Thanks so much for participating in this silly game of mine. To me, these small discs of pleasure also remind me of girls' dresses in pastel shades. Spring time dresses!

Thanks Rani. I'll buy the M & M's for my kids, and you can still give me some gems, if you don't mind. :bigsmile:
I'm emailing you regarding Chandini's account.

Looks like I don't have to carry a single packet next time. My kids have already changed their minds. I think they feel some loyalty towards the American version (M & M's), and now claim that both are equally good. :bigsmile: Maybe they thought I'll stop buying M &M's if they leaned towards Gems. J)

Yes, who knows...I might be given a "box" by "some aunty". And then I might be feeling guilty to leave some of the "box" behind due to luggage overload. :bigsmile:

You are right.
You should go to the dressing table and then upload a fresh profile-pic.

Pushpa, thank you. I've already mentioned that I ran out of Gems. All I have now is some responsibility, which I'll share with you as per conversation with you a couple of months ago. :bigsmile:
Now what should I do to "ice" you up! :glasses:

Thanks Lakshmi. I guess the spring colors have really gotten into me. I got tired of my black profile (after getting a few complaints from some of my relatives), and had to change it.

No good photos!? That's not what I remember from what I'd seen earlier in fb. You do have many pictures where you look really beautiful, with big and attractive eyes. :love: If I'm not wrong, I remember you in a white salwar, in a photo. I loved that picture of yours. Anyway, take your own time, and upload any picture. We would love your picture in any avatar.
