Happiness is Eating Raw Mango
For Indoris mangoes are much more than a mere fruit, their love for it can be measured by the naughty smile on their faces when they see a raw mango.
As a smiling face of vegetable vendor convinced us these raw mangoes are fresh and direct from the farm, he knows very well the freshness of mangoes are enough to woo the buyers. Ladies buying mangoes have smile on their faces too, which convey that they too had sweet memories with raw mangoes.
Almost every child growing up in India has fondest memory of climbing the mango trees or aiming a slingshot at a neighbour’s tree laden with mangoes. Today as well mango has a magnetic hold.
An Indori can eat a mango any time and we bet it’s difficult to find such an amazing combination of kaccha aam or kerri at other place in the world.
See how creativity we Indoris are with kairi.
