Export quality cashew nuts from Vijayalaxmi Cashew Company- Kollam, Kerala


Kollam district in Kerala, from time immemorial, is famous for its cashew industry. During the last decades of Raj era, the coastal sky line of Kollam was also dotted with cashew factories – most of them processing cashews ( importing raw cashews and exporting finished products). Times have changed now; but the fame and taste lingers in our memory.

When ever we pass by Kollam; we drop by to pick up a couple of packs of cashew from VLC, Kollam which specializes in high (marked for export) quality processed cashew; from their factory outlet at “General fuel station” in “Chinnakkada”.

Our holiday home apartment at '' Nikunjam Fortune '' Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala


Did anyone wonder why didn’t I post any blogs for the past few days?. Here is the answer. We had been to Kerala on a lightning visit to take possession of our new apartment at Trivandrum / Thiruvanathapuram.

Ours is an 1800 sq.ft apartment with 2 covered car parking bays. Additional features in this mini condo – “Nikunjam Fortune” (situated in posh locality “ Jawahar Nagar - Kowdiar” ) includes a swimming pool, tennis court, party area and fantastic landscaping. The apartment complex is ready for occupation and only cosmetic finery is pending. We were really pleased to see the finished apartment. Currently our plan is to use it as a holiday home in “Gods own Country” - Kerala. A few photos of our apartment and interiors.
