‘Stolen mango tastes the best’
During my childhood, I used to often get into trouble for stealing mangoes! But, trust me, they somehow taste better than the ones we paid for! I met my best friend during one such mango adventure. There’s a tree in my native, Srigeri, which bears the fruit once in 15 years, and I am really looking forward to stealing from there!

‘Mum makes the best mango rasayana’
Alphonso mangoes are my favourite and I got to eat some yummy Alphonsos this summer. I love chopping them and having them as dessert or making mango rasayana out of it. Mum makes the best mango rasayana ever and it’s my favourite.
