We have no right to explore know-how for those things. Whatever treatment we use, we have to do so within set limitations. Everything perishes once its life span is over.

Today is 1st of month so you may send 2 parcels of mangoes, the second parcel to be sent by the 18th; one parcel should contain a maximum of 24 pieces. In all probability, Munak utilization daily basis would be 5 to 6 ounces in consideration of this 3 days money cost would be rupee hence monthly be rs 40 a share there for I suggest you send parcel of 10 shares per month. That way consider the day you have sent the parcel. That way expenses can be saved if any patient is given these. The shortage in stock can be made up by local purchases."
