Of course that's a mango tree! I don't need to tell you that. What I need to tell you is - that's not ours. Before you even request that I bring you some.
That mango tree- heavy with flowers and baby mangoes - is the prized possession of my Mom's neighbor. All I need to do is step out from my bedroom into the balcony, stretch my arms, and grab all the mangoes I can grab.
I know- some people would call that ...stealing? Well, not in this town. In this town, any fruit of your neighbors- that you can reach- is yours. That's a law. My Mom's law. And I believe her. Because in this town, that's everybody's law.
Since there's no threat that I would have to go to court for eating our neighbor's mangoes, I've been dreaming (and planning) of getting several of these succulent fruit. There's only one problem. They're not yet ready for stealing. Sorry! I mean picking.
Everyday, since I arrived here 12 days ago, I would step into the balcony, look at the tree and wonder- will I ever get to eat the fruit?
Looks like it. Yes, I've been here for 12 days. And I so badly need to go back to the city. But I'm only half-way through with my VA projects. 5 out of 10. I don't know if that's good or bad. All I know is that I'm getting the hang of it. Learning so much. Enjoying working-in-my-pajamas so much. Overusing my laptop so much (that doesn't sound right!) - but you get my drift.
I am yet to finish the VA projects. But I will. Soon! Probably in complete, perfect timing with the ripening of the mangoes. I just need to keep on working. And visiting our neighbor's mango tree while I'm here.
I'll keep you posted.
