Yesterday’s trip to ancestral home in Thidanad has been quite satisfying. I managed to distribute ‘chakka undas’ to siblings and received more jackfruits, mangoes, pappaya, pineapple etc.
And the torrential downpour on the drive back was difficult but most enjoyable.
The first picture here is Mangosteen, the queen of all exotic Fruits. The second one is Rambuttan, and the second in ranking.
In another 20 days, the place will be full of mangosteens and rambuttans. And I am looking forward to it.
Exotic Tropical Fruits……

That is great to have exotic fruit trees in the backyard!
This Rambuttan is our ‘Mullanpazham” or “mullambazham” 🙂

By the way way, when I took the photo with my iPhone, I was thinking about you and your photography skills.
Good photo opportunity in Thidanad and on our drive through the rains

Wow Jakarta! I am sure the suburbs are beautiful. I was in Bali in March. Kerala and Bali has similarities.
Durian, i have tried. It’s a stronger version of Jackfruit. And must be an acquired taste.
Keep in touch 😊

I am from india. I always loved having those tropical fruits like jackfruit, mangosteen, lychee, bell fruit apples and guava. My maiden home is in kottayam. whenever we go over there for vacation, it’s war with my brothers and cousin for jackfruit. I still remember living in the backwater area, we always had someone climb the tree so we could have some coconut water. Afterwards, scooping the inside to eat the coconut.
