If you visit Nainital or Almora in mid-summer you would find many exotic fruits being sold in the fruit market or in Nainital sold in cups made from green leaves,a small wooden basket holding almost six type of fruits in beautiful green leaf cups.Apricot,plums,cherries,Kafal,Ghigharu and Hisaaloo are the commonest fruits to savor while walking along the Nainital Lake.A fruit vendor told me the more ripe apricot and plums are the more sweet they are bound to be.Means if you touch it and found it gooey don't think its rotting for it will taste better than others.I savored lots of fruits and thought it one of the best part of my Nainital visit.
On returning back to Lucknow after few weeks I bought some Apricots and Plums which looked good on outside,but as I ate them they were bitter and sour and not a bit sweet.Its the same with people,in Hills you would find people to be mostly filled with love and innocence,and here in plains most people are cunning and talk like biting dogs. Nazakat Nafasat of old Lucknow has vanished away,in fact I found visiting Haryanvi and Jat tourists having the same qualities inherent to erstwhile Lucknow culture.Like if they are angry and scold you,still they would do it in a loving tone.
