When I was a boy in Dehra, there was a mango grove just opposite the bungalow. It belonged to someone called Seth Govind Ram (May his soul rest in peace), and, during the mango season, it was fiercely guarded by a giant of a man called Phambiri. All my efforts to get into the grove were repulsed, and on one occasion I received a mild lathi - blow on my backside.
'I just wanted to climb the tree' I pleaded.
'Come back when the mango season is over' said Phambiri with a vicious smile copied from a filmy villain.
