Fruity weekend

Last weekend was a "Karm kar, phal ki chinta mat kar" weekend.
it all started on Saturday morning when I went for a site visit at Girivan, 40 kms from Pune. I plucked loads of Jamun fruits. They were small but tasty! Also, I plucked many Karvanda fruits abundantly available there for everyone to eat. These sweet and tangy little perishable berries are found on the hills in the western ghats and it's rare to get these in the city. 

The next morning, my friends and I went for an early morning drive to my friends farmhouse near Panshet. They have Safed Jaam trees growing there and we feasted on this low hanging fruit. It was so easy to pluck, we filled our bags with them! 

And as I came home, I found that my aunt had sent us a big box full of Alphonso mangoes from her own family owned orchards! 


And it ended on a wonderful note when my friend got me a box strawberries from Mahabaleshwar!




 I am so lucky! :D
