He once sold kerosene, now sells tender coconuts

By Ananth Ram 


Summer is the season of tender coconut water. And the tender coconut sellers are all over the place. 

P. Annamalai, who lives in Kabali Thottam, Mylapore, has been selling tender coconut water for 20 years now.

He says he used to sell kerosene before and the 56 year-old switched to selling "elaneer". 

He sells them in a corner of the C.V.Raman Road - Ashoka Street junction under the shade of the tree here. He prices the coconuts at Rs.30 and Rs.40 depending on the size of the coconut.

This season, the sales have not been quite strong, says he, but he added that he is expecting good sales in the coming months. 

He also door delivers the coconuts in this area. Contact him at 9941227922.
