K R Vijayan, Kochi-based tea stall owner, whose trips across the world with his wife earned them near-global fame, died of a heart attack on Friday, family sources said. He was 71.
Vijayan and his wife Mohana owned a modest tea stall "Sri Balaji Coffee House" in Kochi and became famous after they funded their world tours from their earnings.
The couple recently returned from a family tour of Russia.
The two used to save Rs 300 daily from their earnings from the tea stall and travelled to Israel in 2007, their first journey outside the country. In the last 14 years, the couple had visited 26 countries. They used to take small loans also to fund the trips.
