Bharatanatyam dancer Geeta Chandran reminisces about her childhood summers spent at her grandparents' home in Fort Kochi. She fondly recalls the mischief of her cousins, raiding the storeroom for raw mango preserves during their grandmother's siesta. These memories are tied to the taste of salted dried mango slivers and raw mangoes tempered in chili paste, enjoyed with rice and curd. She describes the thrill of 'stealing' these treats and the playful scolding from her grandmother.
