A 4 yr old Hand Paints a Mango

Thursday, May 29, 2008



When I think Mangoes I can only remember the summers growing up. More than the ripe fruit I used to enjoy Avakai Pickle from Andhra, Manga Thokku, Vadu Manga that Amma used to make, Vellam Manga Pachadi prepared during celebrations and Mooku Manga from the cart man on the street. The guy who used to sell it to me used to cut it with style and add chilli and salt blended powder in between the cut wedges and wrap it in an old tamil newspaper like Malai Murasu or Dhinathandi and I used to carry it as if it was the most precious thing in my life. Just thinking of that makes my mouth water. It was such a perfect thing that made me so happy then. Little did I know that I would have such nostalgic memories a fruit so much.

As I was thinking of what to make for Indra's Mahanandi's Mango Manthram Event for the month of May, my 4 year daughter wanted to do some hand painting and said she will make it for me to post on the blog. This is her creation with hand paint.
