Kamdevs 5th Missile - (Indian Cupids 5th Arrow - The Mango Flower) Study Tour on Anthropology of Mangoes on the Mallick Farm in Hasanpur, Western UP: For a long time I have been thinking that I will do an academic tour on the Culture of Mangoes if only to break the fantasy of Hapoos or Alfonso. This weekend with seven ladies we made our way. I had collected large number of folk-tales, aspects of symbols and rituals related to Mangoes, references to mangoes in literature from Sanskrit Literature to E.M Forsters Passage to India and several others. Well besides the experience on the cultural tradition of mangoes of North India. We climbed tress, tasted at least 5 varieties of mangoes - Roshanara, Dussehri, Langra, Bombay, Khasam Khas, and Tapka pciked and served by Sarfaraz and Hanif from the farm. Finally the joy of ultimate joy of enjoying a nap under the mango trees, and bringing back a small package of mangoes. Thank you the Mullick Family and Thank you Cristina Albertin for these wonderful photographs!
