Brenda asked what this fruit is.  It is Ber, according to Lakhu. We see it everywhere.

Ber is an important minor fruit of India. It is the most hardy fruit-tree cultivated all over India and is often called the poor man’s fruit. Most trees in India growing isolated are of seedling origin and therefore bear poor quality and their fruit sells cheap.

            However, during the last few decades, regular commercial plantations of budded trees have now come up all over India, and fetch quite good price.
