Mango Mania

 The king of the fruits – Mango; was even the king of my heart. Any kind of mango felt delicious to me and I used to scavenge every bit of it. I was so mango maniac that I used to yearn for them three meals a day. But no sooner had my wish been granted that I started to regret over it. 

My grandpa knowing my Mango craze got a 10 kg box full of special Lucknow mangoes from his some acquaintance. I received those warmly and had them regularly {sometimes even 2} for approx. 1 week. Maybe, still 5-7 of them were still left when my grandpa called yet again to inform that this time he was sending another 20kg of mangoes for us. I was on the ‘Mangoith’ heaven, dreaming about those juicy yellow beings with the sweetest fragrance. The box was deposited the next day it contained 100 mangoes in all. Most of them were ripe enough to bite into. We started to have them every meal, just like my dream. No other fruit was there in our house expect those mangoes. Everything was under control till our gardener offered us some mangoes which grew on his tree back home. The poor man was giving them off with such affection that we were consented to take them. Now 50 more mangoes were added in our lot. 
No one could have consumed these beings in the multiple forms that we had. There was mango shake for breakfast, mango salad for school, mango ice cream for lunch and mango pudding for dinner. We were even on the verge of trying mango cake. The king of the fruits was becoming a dictator for me and I was suffering under its rule. 
We tried to depart as many as we could to our known but they seemed to never end. The whole house smelled like a mango orchard and I was going crazy now. I now even hated the site of mangoes and longed for apples and bananas the fruits that I hated earlier. I couldn’t believe how I wished to have mangoes for 3 meals a day. 
Finally that glorious day came when all the mangoes were finished I was highly relieved and felt ‘Mangoish’.

That is when the doorbell rang yet again and in came my aunt from Lucknow and you probably would have guessed what gift she brought – they were mangoes of course!
