I think Dinesh has put it correctly:
1. Photo posted by Janaki is Field Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis)
2. Photos posted by Garg ji are NOT Field Bindweed - most likely they
are of Ipomoea marginata
Although the leaves look very similar, the flower shape of the two is
different, if viewed from the side. I. marginata has funnel shaped
flowers with long, narrow "neck" of the funnel. Field Bindweed flowers
are more like cones, with almost no narrow tube above the sepals.
Also, the pink-white striping is typical in some forms of Field
Bindweed, although there are pure white forms also.
