Dear Tabish ji Gurcharan Singh ji has already identified it as Portulaca quardrifida in wildflower of India group and illutrated as following - It is not Portulaca oleracea. Please notice four petals. The plant is P. quadrifida, having leaves much smaller than P. oleracea, ovate-lanceolate in shape (and not spathulate). thanks Nayan. .....................

This one could be Chicken weed (Portulaca quadrifida) which has 4 petals and small leaves.
