Mango Lassi Memories- The first sip was pure sunshine: creamy, sweet, and impossibly refreshing. My grandmother’s

mango lassi wasn’t just a drink; it was summer in a glass. I can still hear the blender’s whir, see the condensation on the tall glass, and feel the cool relief as it chased away the heat. Some flavors stay with you forever. Even now, one taste brings back lazy afternoons, the hum of ceiling fans, and her voice gently chiding,  “Slow down, betu”. Happiness, I’ve learned, sometimes comes in a chilled glass that is golden, familiar, and full of love.
