The line I remember "Stolen fruit tastes the sweetest", or something to that effect. Nature gives us those ones, and even if Adam walked out of the garden with a fruit, he has no option now, but to plant a seed, and pray for rain.

My sense of the moment? Let's not raise Cain, if we can avoid it! Thanks for sharing fruit ripening from your garland of memories, Vivek.

Dear Vivek,

Nice to remind the Mango tree:
Around my house at Ambarnath we had an Umbrella shaped tree, who's raw mangoes needed Brutal force to open. Mangoes tasted best with class mates & knives were not allowed in the school! So bully's had their day. Sometimes I even used large stone to crack open & smear with salt & chilli powder!
These parties were abruptly abandoned with Ringing of school bell! Thus the school was cruel but only to be lovely the next day!

Best regards,
Ajit Apte
