>>Sriala: In my house, the most special day of the week is Saturday.
That is when mom makes Bhindi, which is the Indian word for okra.
While other kids might think okra is a fuzzy vegetable to me it is a piece of my family history.
Hi, my name is Sriala.
My school is Coral Academy.
My grade is second grade.
My story is "Mom's Bhindi Masala".
