Wherever Sharmila goes, mangoes die
In a nod to George Bush, Sharmila practices “No mangoes left behind” policy. We could not get any street side mango vendor here. Not the proper season now. I remember in many islands – Aruba, Fiji, Cabo, Cancun, Costa Rica (well, last one is not an island) – stopping on the side of the road so she could try out the local mangoes! In Grenada, she had the hotel folks procure local mangoes for breakfast the next day!
