I wanted to give away this Holy Basil plant of mine as I was moving, and was concerned if there'd be anyone interested in taking it. I posted a note in the local Desi club here in Mountain View for what it is worth, and was surprised to see more than 20 people respond within 5 minutes of sending it, many of them seemed frantically interested.
I just don't get the reason for that kind of enthusiasm. I do understand the sentimental aspect which was why I was having it in the first place. But clearly this is not so rare an item - anyone could get basil seeds from Walmart or any other store and grow their own plant in less than a month.
