Does anyone know the name of a supposed very famous type of Mango in Bihar.

Apparently one of the Best Varieties in India.

Now a quick, funny story from my Bihar travels. When I arrived in Gaya, I found I had run out of toilet paper (in this one way, I just couldn't adopt local custom). Everywhere else I visited in India, the local hotels usually didn't have TP, but it wasn't hard to find at the various sundry stores. In Gaya I could find the stores, but no TP, nowhere. So I went to the hotel clerk and asked him "Is there anywhere around here I can buy toilet paper?" He nodded vigorously and said "Oh yes! You can buy some in Patna!" (several hours journey by train). I was like "uh, no, I mean around HERE, today. I need some right now". Sadly, he shook his head. "Alright," I asked, "do you have a newspaper?" Not connecting the two at all, he asked me "English or Hindi?" "It doesn't matter" I replied. His face brightened: "You read Hindi?!" No, I told, him, I don't read Hindi. He looked perplexed. At this point, I wasn't going to tell him what I planned to do with his newspaper.

Well the French use BD's and toilet paper is hard to find in many parts of the world. So whenever I go to India or Europe, I always take toilet paper with me.

Recently when I was flying out from Kolkata airport, unfortunately I was sent to the random check queque. Out rolled my last toilet paper roll. It was very embarrassing.

I had brought it along because I had correctly assumed the airport toilets would be dirty and toilet paper-less. According to the motto of the scouts or girl guides, I had followed the 'always be prepared' motto.

Completely OT but can I humbly submit that the N.Indian mango varieties mentioned,expecially the Dasseri and Chausa, are far better than the Alfonso,the only saving grace of which is that it has a thick skin and is,hence, suitable for exports.
