I am not averse to them, I like them just fine. As much as I like a banana or an apple. I know, I know..the comparison is unthinkable to many, but well, it's the truth.<br /><br />For several years, my folks introduced me as 'the one who doesn't like mangoes' to many many people - it seemed to be an important enough aspect of my personality to be revealed to relative strangers. :PShanaya Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053129459391925174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34403038.post-89877028740007845442016-05-18T06:25:01.894+05:302016-05-18T06:25:01.894+05:30Do it then.

I think you're talking of the same experience. :) my sister and I used to make a mess those days, the juice dripping onto our t-shirts. so it was always given to us before we bathed, lest we get it on clean clothes. :D Vinay Leo R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13132856855570330824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34403038.post-77161281382137477902016-05-16T07:18:06.969+05:302016-05-16T07:18:06.969+05:30Exactly the way we ate!
