Balaji's mango

My young friend Balaji, with his cousins Raghav and Janani,tossed into the hedge in front of their house, the seed of a manago they had shared nearly a decade back.Balaji,then a school-goer in knickers,is now doing B Tech in computer science.The seed he sowed has grown into a full-fledged tree; and started bearing mangoes. On a recent visit to my native Pollachi in Tamilnadu I was pleased to see this fruit-bearing tree in front of my Sambu Sithi's house, and heard the story. Balaji (seen in the photo), his cousins Janani and Raghav are Sambu aunt's grandchildren.
