' Mango Moods ' by Reeta Mani 

Mango Moods is about Chitra who is a patient and strong woman . Her mother-in-law , Narayani Amma , who had tortured her all these years with cruels barbs for her barren womb ? Soon , Chitra discovered that she was pregnant after eights years of marriage , she found herself suddenly being smothered with love and care and attention and food . I do not like Narayani Amma that treat her daughter-in-law badly before she know that Chitra was pregnant . 

Narayani Amma actually want grand-son who can become a family heir . She want her own blood to be a family heir. once a time  she had angry when hear suggestion from Chitra's mother to adopting son . 

Chitra felt nostalgic as she reminisced the wonderful childhood years spent in their cozy village . Their house was nestled in a mango orchard . So , in this story Chitra tell how her mother treat her with mango , how her mother prepare mango to her and she missed that time . Since childhood , mangoes were a way of life for Chitra .

I felt sad in this story because when she finds out her pregnancy her husband were not besides her because had left their town for good . First pregnancy she was alone without her husband .

At last , after Chitra give a birth , Narayani Amma wept with joy , she take care Chitra and a new born baby boy with her compassion . 

We have to make Chitra as a good modal to us , because she was a brave woman for me . We can take a good character of Chitra where is she does not treat her mother-in-laws badly as done by her in-laws . And she also patient and brave through her pregnancy without her husband besides her to give a strength .
