Mango Check for Midsummers Night Dream

written by Melting Lemon Drop May 25, 2025
Mango Check for Midsummers Night Dream

This season leads to a variety of mangos check. Summer moving to monsoons. It’s a tricky period.

We are implored by different regional affiliations to try this mango or that mango.

Some maybe fans of sour mango check- Totapuri comes to mind. Recently I tried it with a recipe of a dal. I must confess was super sour. I had to add a bit of molasses with it.

Homemade Aam Panna was nice. A bit of a pain making it from scratch but was really refreshing and a trip down memory lane. There are bottled ones around in case people want to buy that instead. Doesn’t taste the same and most of them have tons of sugar but it’s ok if you are not on a sugar control drive/diet.

Mango Check for Trojan Horses

Then there was a lot of Hapus or Alphonso doing the rounds. Imampasand made its appearance as well. Wasn’t that great. Dussehri was perhaps on my mind. I had a variant of it first and then tried the original one as well.

I don’t like these noisy women

There was some debate and excitement about Mallika– I realised, just a fancy name for that hybrid of Dussehri. Some of the delight was in the discovery that I could still rightly identify the flavour and characteristics of a few old favourites.

I tried Baigamphalli (nothing to do with Baigan or brinjal) perhaps very early in the season. These are big ones and sometimes good when you are going for volume. Lacks a certain je ne sais quoi.

Yeah, me too. Bullies!

Next there was some Sindhura as well. No not the best. I found out later, it’s more suitable for shakes and juices. That’s also important for street shops. No shade there.

My mother loves Himsagar. But I didn’t find it this time. To be honest, Himsagar is not my favourite. Too sweet and doesn’t have the right kick needed for some tougher months. Especially those that lie ahead.

Something Fishy about Mango Check

I am being pulled and pushed between two cities just to resolve silly internal conflicts again! There are these “leaders” on both sides of the fence. One calls for mangos and the other calls for avocados.

When I buy the avocados just before ripening, they will run away citing issues. Then come back after the avocados are consumed. Later, they return to ask for another blessed fruit.

Say for example, dragon fruit. I have understood these tactics of trying to draw unnecessary attention to certain issues.

Salim Langre ko kyon mara?

Well, if I tell them honey, I knew that issue all along. But we had to pretend not to see that red poop, I’m being monstrous. So sometimes, we have to be silent observers.

Why are we discussing red poop on a divine Sunday morning. How about some floral bouquets instead. Neither of these are roses. And they don’t have any particularly great fragrance.

Bleeding vine you are fired?

So, if its visual appeal you want, here you go. And then, some of them don’t even last very long. I like wildflowers too. But one needs the time and peace of mind to be able to enjoy these.

Mango check for Abusive Power-Hungry people

In case, such labor leaders and managers have a problem with others- they should resolve it themselves rather than pulling, pushing and abusing innocents in the process. I understand these dynamics. But seems like real empathy or support is not being demonstrated visibly.

Fairytales for Kids

Say for example, a simple credit card application takes impossible routes and diversions. Weather changes because there is a confusion about whether I am a terrorist or not.

There is some questioning now about which country do I belong to? Or do I have the wherewithal for paying the bills. Interesting considering the same bank has details about my other monetary transactions. And the fact that I have been investing and spending here for the last 3 years now holding a passport that clearly declares my nationality.

Is there some issue around Identity theft for example?

Goblet or Gublet- can’t make out (awful pic)

Or an issue around not having paid enough to this blessed nation of ours in terms of manhours, lives or perhaps more children to be killed through more wars?

Perhaps I should have sired a 100 more devils instead to enable their purpose of creating more havoc and disturbance around so that even less work can be done or accomplished.

Mango Check for Useless Consultants

Hours and hours can be wasted over more and more cups of tea or coffee.

How about that? So that each man, woman and child who is currently not drawing a salary slip can laugh and justify their existence on planet earth.

This is a clear indicator of need for important security devices for newbies who are unaware of political manipulation. Each organization puts severe breaks on any kind of progress. You may be lulled into thinking that sharing is helpful. Sometimes, it is not helpful.

Duality bites storytellers

If you are an authentic person- they will call you names and say you are a “creative artist” in a manner which is actually quite painfully divisive. It seems that there is a problem with EQ and IQ (both) amongst people who prefer to be really inauthentic themselves.

Just make two calls today. Well, you can make thirty calls, and you will still not be able to get your work done in certain cases. You are not affiliated with any group/club/sect/company. Alas, the very friends and neighbors you are trusting maybe trying to make more money out of you.

Don’t let the bad blood go

Chicken blood and poop is important. But you will be discriminated against unless you have your own family members around to help them see you as a similar person with same social issues.

If you are trying to build something from scratch- you must go and meet builders. These builders will then send you to others. Then others will send you to others…so on. I hope you and your family members die on that very land they pace around to protect.

I am not that lady unfortunately- she’s much older. Kindly pay some respect

You don’t know who is on the other side of the call. My number is given to delivery guys for even simple apps. Now, is this a top-secret information for agents concerned about security breaches?

Apparently wearing a different attire would have helped my case. So here you go for those who have a certain kind of unnecessary affliction of the bleeding-heart disease which enables bullying through different ways and means.

Not Mango Tiramisu

Right or wrong, Mr/Mrs currently holding a salary slip? I do hope all of you who are abusing this power live to experience the joys of no power and see the rewards later.

Of being pushed, shoved and bullied from one queue to another when nothing gets done on time.

I am an only child, and I don’t understand what you are saying about sharing. I will share only with the one who makes me feel the way my parents did. Like a Demi God. A maid servant will do for me.

You want to teach me more about toxic masculinity? I am the living embodiment of that. I am the greatest gift on planet earth for others to follow more examples of toxic masculinity.

We want to kill women in hordes. And then show how we are heroes/heroines. We can take either shape or form as the situation demands.

Mangos need too much Drama in life

It seems banking transactions are not going to be easy if bank employees remain a bit casual. Some homework and supportive induction maybe required.

Dukka

I think such silly debates are unnecessary when people are being rather unprofessional in serious matters related to documentation.

Why? Hello, why? I have people to do the running around for me. (Response from domesticated cats).

Just because I like Laengra instead of your favourite mango? You can have a Thai Mango with sticky rice for all I care.

I am a student, but I can definitely go anywhere because my blessed Papa and Mama told I can. But you are a struggling entrepreneur- irrespective of how much you have worked in this country or abroad I have a right and a might that you don’t have.

We are not like this. So embarrassing!

In fact, my dog has a right and might more than you have…….

Ooooooohhhh….Burn!

Idiotic fuckers. I hope each and every one of you fails miserably in life.

If you haven’t tried all the mangos in the universe, then perhaps you wish to do that and have another round of indigestion or diarrhea attack. We are trying to prevent infant mortality in certain parts of the organization.

We provide them with credit cards- hence you getting one defeats the purpose of us shining like Shiny Ahuja. You are doing that without a Mai Baap by your side makes us look bad.

Oh, you haven’t abused your maid servant? Called her a helper instead. Why? 🙂

Mango Check for Flooded Cities and Villages

I am not going to fly to another city just to go buy 1 mango to resolve your own internal issues.

Sticking to my choice this time again. Sorry, I am not sorry. I have my own choices and biases sometimes. You can have your own mango and eat it too. Horrible crop failures and excessive tariffs just to help to eat one mango?

I got 1 I wanted. I don’t need more

Ok, we have an entire nation full of mango lovers- they will help you, mother dear.

Full parental control to be exerted now on monkeys who are jumping around on different baskets of mangos.

I am done with this nonsense of long queues near the toilet area for those who are very disturbed with this new attack of trolls internally and externally.

Wanna bet? We love wagers

It seems I am being pushed off social media again to enable others to have a “cool time”. Somebody talked about the mango beer as well- a home brewed option. I had it long ago. I don’t wish to repeat.

It’s great. My thumbs up for that. Do search online if you are inclined towards that.

Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn. This prohibition rule is leading to a lot of illegal moonshine. 🙂

Perhaps you should invest some more with us in a fixed deposit first which will enable your credit card processing. I see….

Seems like there are multiple ways to harass a customer so that they reach out for the nearest hospital helpline.

Interesting, who suggested this? Nexus of your surroundings seems extremely hostile.

Mango Check for Cold Desserts

People are now having turnip salads of all the things in this world. Yucky I tell you.

Ummm….feedback was given. I just wanted a sandwich, or a burger and they gave me this pretentious piece of nonsense which goes all over my shirt while I am not focusing on the food itself and on something else.

How can you be so stupid

Say like the tv screen, mobile screen, the game I am watching or the other person I am talking to….

And I am trying to wolf it down in exactly 5 or 10 mins. In fact, someone told me finish it all in 3 mins because I have to get from point A to point B so that I don’t miss the bus/train/cab ride again. Aaaaaarghhhh!

Hmmm…I see.

Alas, we are trying to cater to different kinds of population here. Customization becomes so difficult when you have a new visitor every day. There is no focus on rest and rehab.

Why don’t you visit an ashram? (Alarm bells in the head)

Last Ashram retreat_2022

What do I do, my dear? Tell me now, what do I do? Should I retire permanently to another ashram? Seems like I am already leading a rather a-shramik life.

Declaration of Revolutionary Mango Checkers

You are awfully hostile, my dear. I don’t know anything about your nexus. I’m busy playing poker in Texas.

I am done with mango spa candles, mango body oils, mango creams, mango fragrances, mango leaves, and mango flowers. Don’t even talk to me about mango milkshakes, mango cakes, mango barfi, mango laddus, mango pedas, mango cupcakes and mango ice-cream.

Mangos need to be savoured
This rare mango is no more

In case there is mango jams, mango kulfis, mango toffees and mango bars you can meet my brother or sister.

Family feuds over mango breads, mango juices, mango mixes, mango cocktails, mango mocktails, mango souffles and mango puddings are for useless people.

I do not have time for mango custard, mango yoghurts, mango lassi, mango chutneys, mango pickles, mango salads, mango cheesecake, mango jellies, mango juices and mango dresses.

All of this left for all of you to enjoy. With or without ice-cream.

Revealing some Twisted Mango Papad

You didn’t even understand that I am being paid by others to be able to create more disturbance to enable news channels and create more fear amongst people about their jobs or other kinds of security?

I am just a paid actor/actress just like your paid actors and actresses in every organization which is protecting human resources (which do not work at all). We are an ancient land of protectors of innocent old and innocent young people. (Some of them may not be so innocent).

One idiomatic fruit is missing- so?

We know how to manipulate. Pillows are required for these gaddadhari sleeping agents.

You have to make them feel really special- like children with special needs. We don’t wish to get into discussions about golfing handicaps now. Because then the discussion will shift to F1 racing and Basketball/Baseball or any other ball. It seems there’s absolutely no need for actual work to be done by them as they faff around.

I think the way you are progressing, shows a lot of disrespect and lack of sensitivity.

Ummm….ok.

Do we want to act discriminatory now by reminding them continuously or let them work!

Korean drama- Aunty simplify and I don’t need a glass/mug

We do intend to make some chutney. Preferably with tomatoes, dates and raisins or sultanas. Some plums (aloo bokhara) are good to add as well. Depends upon what you have as a budget. If you don’t provide any details, you will get nothing!

Their bosses just give some money and escape for some holidays. Hence, we are required as fall characters or agents to help move the narrative along for Global missions of lazy chickens.

You supported others. Who supports you? Nobody. They want to skip ahead to the recipe instead.

There was a big punching bag once upon a time. Ouch!

Footnote

Missing the forest for the trees with noise cancelling headphones

Shakespearean Tragi Comedy roles are required

Sometimes to help manslaughter

Helps envisage a ghost who walks

If there is a hue and cry over divisive politics

There are bigger bullies all around

Today we are unaware of where we really stand

So, to some people, it is advisable to check first.

Look before you leap

It’s been 3 years and I still struggle as a migrant

Who tried to return to her homeland

So, all the hoo haa about Artificial Intelligence

Comes at a cost of several men and women

And the weapons of war are fueled by

More gasoline and petrol today

So, I have no qualms about stating

That there are Con artists at every level

Be wise about who you trust

We do not have to die for just another

Basket full of mangos trying to assert

Their willpower through so called

Science and technology that doesn’t

Support anybody when it really comes

To basic humanity surviving.

With or without a little help from our friends–

Flights will crash, trains will go out of service

Cars will falter and there will be several mishaps

None of these will help you in your high altar

As you sit and muse over what a wonderful

Future we are building for our Children

These are the very Children who have no qualms

In killing their own parents, friends and family

For another bottle of Johnny Walker, Scotch or a glass of rare wine.
