Directly from tree - contains love and friendship
Finally they are ready to be consumed, this is going to be our first mango fest, and what could have been better to get them directly from tree with lots of love and a new friendship. If you remember, I posted about these mangoes here when they were babies. When I went for my morning exercise , I noticed a gentleman picking them from the tree.
The tool that he was using made me very curious, because its a very traditional way of plucking mangoes from the tree, and my mother prepares that at our home in the mango season. So I took a pause and decided to go and talk with him. He is our neighbor and never did we meet earlier, the tree has been kind to come to our side, and he came to harvest the mangoes are they are ready to ripen. He was kind to give me some time and after talking for few minutes, I realized he is very polite, humble and a down to earth person - my kind. Life teaches us many things in hard way, if you have gone through it, then you know what I am talking. Using these kind of tools or plucking mangoes like this, or climbing a tree or being able to do anything as necessary will probably be extinct in our next generation.
Have you ever seen this tool ? Let's have a closer look.
Looks super useful, isn't it ? But making it needs careful execution - you need the right skill and materials. The bamboo, the net, then those small pieces that does the trick to pull the mangoes, making that round shape (usually done using bamboo or wire) and most importantly binding them well to hold - that's not easy. Imagine, what would happen, if the net does not hold when you have few mangoes inside. It would be as good as throwing them if that happens. It's worth to do some trial runs to realize how many can be picked safely, starting with few.
As he continued picking them from the tree, I continued my exercise and coming in between to click these moments. In half an hour or so, he was almost done and I also finished my running. So we started interacting more about our natives and found out that we both belong to the same place. Then we also discussed about life in general and a new friendship began - I even talked about Crypto / HIVE a bit, as I came to know he is associated with some stage programs - a content producer. Since I had to go to drop my daughter at school, we wrapped up the discussion and I started doing my stretching, to be able to go to school. He started packing them in a bag. To my surprise, after he packed the bag, he came and handed over me a packet having lot of mangoes.
What a pleasant surprise !! The first mango of the season, that too organic, directly from tree with so much love - only few people have this kind of heart today - may be 5-10 %. Those who know the joy of giving.

The mangoes are so nice. Sharing the mangoes with friendship is priceless. Conversation start from the fruits is so beautiful !
The mangoes are really nice and I wish I could take some from it lol.
basket shape reminds me of mine when I was running to capt chicken, it was a funny moment.
Reaping mango is really hard and fun
Ya, if its a big tree, then its harder, climbing the tree and then using the tool.
What a pleasant moment when you see mango grow and ripen in front of you with great joy, for this it is necessary to prepare a refreshing juice at this time of summer, yes?
Ya, Cold Mango juice is best in taste.
the mangoes look very fresh and nice, I swallowed my saliva when I saw the photos of the mango, I can imagine the taste.
here in the Philippines, we also use that kind of tool in picking mangoes ☺️ you're really friendly to anyone
I even would eat non-organic! 😀😀😀😀😀😀
hello dear friend @sanjeevm good day
What a beautiful story, and you are very right, there are few people who feel satisfaction when sharing things
Congratulations on having harvested another friend
enjoy this beautiful friendship
They actually look like a mango called the kerosene mango we usually call it where I come from though
Ya, its the native breed and the tree grows pretty fast and gives lot of yield.
Oh mango, the nectar of life, this fruit is one if not the most tasty one that ever will be, i have always wanted to eat the mangoes of india, you guys have some of the weirdest variety of mango that exist, and here in venezuela it just do not exist some of them, in here we have mango, but is orange, yellow and green, we dont have purple or bluish, and i would love to taste the purple ones, internet says are the very best :)
They are pretty expensive I have heard :) Two mangoes can buy you a car.
WHAT? a Car?
Ya, they sold at a cost of 250000 INR per kg :)
T.T there goes my dream of eating one someday, unless i go millonaire T.T
You can plant one tree and become a millionaire :)
I guess those are really hard to actually birth and grow :S sadly.
This mangoes are looking so yummy. I wish I could have some too. I was really amazed when I saw that special plucking stick for the fruits. It think I Will try making this for myself we have lots of good trees over here and I can't climb and each time I pluck a fruit with an ordinary stick it never lands safely. But I think this would help. I really enjoyed this post most especially the sight of those yummy mangoes.
Do the mangos go red/yellow after picking? Cause the green ones from the store usually are not fully ripe.
Yes, they become full yellow and smells nice.
He has a kind soul. He handed over a large bag of mangoes, but he could have just offered a couple.
Mango is called the king of Fruits 🥰 I really loved them, I'm desperately waiting for the mangoes to be arrived in our country's Market
True, they are the most affordable tasty fruit.
I like that tool he's using to harvest those mangoes, it's really handy and if you say it might not be around in the coming generation I wonder what would replace it, it would most likely be another tool better than it.
Seems you had a lot of fun, really cool of him to give you those in the end, I know kind people like that and that's the way I love them: polite and down to earth. I strive everyday to be like that too.
Good to see a young man in this breed which is shrinking.
mango season 😋
