This 8th episode of Aam Naama, presented by Pervaiz Alam and Mehr e Alam Khan, takes you on a visit to India's unique mango town, about 100 KM from Indian capital New Delhi, where growing mangos is a way of life. Established in 1632 during the reign of Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan, Shahjahanpur in the district of Meerut boasts of having 95 per cent of its agricultural land occupied by mango orchards. The town is home to some of the best mangos such as Chaunsa, Langda, Dussehri, Gulab Jamun, William, Fajri, Rataul, Bambai, Ramkela, Samar Bahisht Rampur, Husn Aara, Bambai, Temuriya, Bambai Bhadainyyāñ and many others.

Broadcaster Achala Sharma reads an excerpt from Mohammed Hanif's acclaimed novel 'A Case of Exploding Mangos', long-listed for the 2008 Man Booker Prize.

Chinna Dua, a doctor by profession, sings an ode to Indian spring, a curtain raiser for the mango season.
