ALMOND POWDER /BADAM POWDER

I was so happy when my cousin brought some dry fruits from Abu dhabi like almonds, pistachio, nuts etc... On the previous day only i was thinking of buying almonds to make powder and made a plan to go to market after my daughter's school. Is it telepathy? I could not understand , the next day it is in my hands. I felt so happy and immediately I prepared Almond powder. Since then My daughter is having milk with almond powder.
