The globetrotting spirit of K R Vijayan, the late owner of Sree Balaji Coffee House, who became famous for his world tours, lives on.

- Krishna Kumar K E @Kochi

Usha V Prabhu, Vijayan's elder daughter, is set to embark on a foreign visit with her husband Muralidhara Pai to "fulfil" her late father's cherished dream of visiting 50 foreign nations.

"It was my father's dream to visit at least 50 countries. However, he could visit only 26 countries before he breathed his last on November 19, 2021. Since I could remember, my father was taking the sorties to foreign lands along with my mother Mohana. Even for small outings, my father insisted on having my mother's company. Now, we will go globetrotting as much as we can and hope to visit at least 50 countries. We will first fly out to Vietnam and Cambodia on September 15," says 48-year-old Usha.
