Alukkas looted!


Rs. 10 crore worth diamonds and jewels was looted from the Joy Alukkas Jewelery showroom in Hyderabad in the early hours of Tuesday. It was a big news in Aaj Tak and NDTV and Aaj Tak had an extensive coverage.

Joy Alukkas Group runs the Alukkas Jewelery in Coimbatore. They had opened their Hyderabad showroom just 2 months back. The Alukkas group is split between four brothers and Joy has been concentrating mainly in the Middle East and other states in India other than Kerala.

Alukkas has a big brand name in the Kerala market and is the market leader.

The burglars took away all the diamonds and jewels kept on the shelves, but didn't enter the strong room which had an estimated 20 crore worth more jewels!!

About Alukkas:
Alukkas Jewellery is the flagship company of the Joy Alukkas Group. With 38 outlets spread across the Gulf in the Middle East and Kerala in India the Group is today the world's No.1 22 karat jewellery retailer.

The Joy Alukkas Group has also ventured into a novel concept in Kerala, India - The Wedding Centres. These centres offer dresses and dress materials for the bride along with bridal jewellery in gold and diamonds. The first of this wedding centre was opened at Angamali close to the Cochin International Airport in Kerala. Wedding centre at Thiruvalla once again proved that people of Kerala has welcomed this concept.

Another unique idea of the group has been implemented in Kerala - the diamond boutique. Small compact exclusive outlets inside five star hotels and resorts offering diamonds, platinum and pearl jewellery. The first boutique in this new concept called 'Dazzle' has been opened in the Taj Residency at Marine Drive, Cochin, Kerala. Apart from Cochin, 'Dazzle' is now in Kottayam, Angamaly and Coimbatore.

Ariyaatha pillakku choriyumbol ariyum!

As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!! Thanks to this Wikipedia link , forwarded to me by Vinay
