Nice idea to use the moon as a backdrop. The boat and the tree looks pretty good. Must've taken you quite some time to get them in this order. :)
Just to let you know; the embroidery file was too dark, and so couldn't publish it.
I was surprised to find out that akka is actually a hindi word, sometimes used to address dals.
To those of you who might not be aware of this, akka in this context is actually the mung dal (green gram).
Akka dal
You see, the word dal is used only for the split ones. toor DAl means split toor. The whole ones are simply toor. Still to make it sure that it is whole the word akka is used. akka means "any" whole lentil, not moong alone. In this pattern, it is whole moong. By the way, it is a nice try.

Good to know, Mohanaji. Somehow most of us (in my family/relatives, and friends) got used to referring any type of lentils as dal, whether whole or split. Thanks for the clarification. I was just reading about the same in the google-book link that I had posted here a while ago.
Dr.Rekha, please let me know if you want me to take off the word "dal" from the title. :)
