Nargis -- was name of a famous Indian singer and comes from word nargissi -- meaning narcissus.

Boiled eggs encased in meat and fried (called Scotch eggs in West) are called nargissi kofta and are featured in one of Salman Rushdie's novels.

200 reported killed and extensive damage in Rangoon. Will cut and paste in separate "inside news" (in Burmese) in a new posting.
