In the second week of May, JP Gola -formerly from Hyderabad- took the time to make a famous American happy: he sent a few boxes of Indian mangoes to none other than former US President George W Bush.
In May, Gola got a VIP cargo to be delivered. It was a box of Kesar mangoes from none other than Indian businessman Ratan Tata, as a personal gift to Bush. Gola immediately remembered that it was Bush who had relaxed the restrictions on import of Indian mangoes into the US. And he, while adding two boxes of Banginapalle and Mallika mangoes to the consignment, wrote a letter to Bush, thanking him for his gesture as US President in 2007, and requesting him to accept the mangoes as a gift. That was on May 20.
Telanganatoday.com mentioned how the fact that Americans have started liking Indian mangoes has only encouraged Gola to continue his business, which he runs during the mango season, from the third week of April to June 30.
