Once upon a time, in a small village, a wedding took place in a grand manner. Since it was the village-head's daughter's marriage, the whole village and its neighbouring ones were invited. The entire crowd was gathered around the community hall and it was like a colourful carnival. A grand feast was served and everyone was happy. There was one villager who was enjoying this to his heart's stomach's content. He was wriggling and had to loosen his "veshti"to breathe. He was so full that he was moaning "I cannot have a grain more of food". Just as he was about to get up, they started serving mangoes. He immediately sat down and was getting ready to attack them.
His neighbour who was watching all his silly actions from beginning was very shocked. He asked him out of disbelief, "Brother, few minutes back you were struggling due to high indulgence and now how come you can have these mangoes ? I cannot believe you!"
The clever man replied. Friend, However crowded a place is, If the village head or some prominent person happen to come there, people immediately start moving aside to give way to him, Right ? It is the same case here. "Mangoes are like King". Even if you over eat, there is always a place left for mangoes in our tummy.
What more can I say ? There is a reason it is called the "King of fruits". Everyone loves mangoes and I have hardly come across anyone who says no to it. During summer season, the markets would be flooded with Mango vendors and the smell of this sweet luscious fruit fills the air completely. So many varieties to choose from and it is a mango dessert-ritual everyday in most homes. My mom takes this one notch higher, she used to have it as a side even with Sambhar and rasam rice. Such is the craziness for this fruit. After all, according to the Hindu mythology, didn't the Lords themselves have a fight for winning this precious fruit ?
