Mangoes make life worth living

I can't express how delighted I am today. I picked up my first Alphonso mangoes of the season. So far I had to satiate my tastebuds with just Raspuri, Badami and the likes. Mommy did send some Alphonsos with Baby Aji but they were bad or went bad in transit.
Today I had the pleasure of smelling each one before I put it in the basket. I got greedy and took more than I could eat. After all they were only Rs50 a kilo. That's nothing. I remember when mangoes were so prohibitively expensive that we couldn't afford to buy anything more than 1 per person.
Ummm, more when I have savored them all.

Per Kg?? As far as I know they were always per dozen! Are you talking of the Hapoos aamba? Anywyas, one of the fortunate things about staying in india! Do you get the ratnagiri alphonso in Sing?
