Dinesh, you made my day!  
I had once misidentified Katsagon as Stereospermum colais. Since that time, I have been wanting to look at a picture of this tree, and found none on the web. Great!

Thanks Tabish  
We will wait for the long twisted fruit, must see how different it would be from katsagon.
