Makes me so nostalgic about summer holidays spent in Kerala, though it was nothing as colourful as the ones described by you. We also had a lot of mango trees and used to help in catching them with a sack. It was real fun. The narangavellam u get in Kerala u don't get that anywhere else. When we used to go to Kerala, we used to take a suitcase full of books to study and do the holiday homeworks that we got, but I don't think we ever opened even one of them....lol. Nanmayum, aishwaryavum, santhoshavum niranja Vishu aashamsakal. What a wonderful post to read on Vishu!
