Come summer and this is what the parched throat desires - Amba Panna!!
Raw mangoes bring back a lot many childhood memories. With the advent of summer, came the yearly school vacation, which in turn brought along the crazy childhood afternoons.
The very site of raw mangoes dangling from their tree tops has always been in itself alluring. Little kids, thin kids, chubby kids.... in short, kids of all sizes and shapes would then station themselves somewhere below these dangly fruits - throwing stones, poking with long sticks, some with hooked sticks, others with catapults in hand :D. And, then if by someone's sheer pokey or thrower good luck, a mango would drop off ,then a li'l raw mangoey feast would follow. Ohh! Dear innocent childhood :).
And back at home, panna would be the prevalent summer potion !! Not a word, not a complain, only gulp, gulp and gulp sounds, for it was and is a favored drink of both the young & old alike.
