COVID-19. A Life changing event.

 COVID-19. A Life changing event.

There can be no two opinions about how adverse economic impact has changed many lives. Worst affected are travel, hospitality, hotels, restaurants. None of the changes were / are for the better. Only degree of adverse impact may vary from severe to mild.

One sees the fallouts of this all around us. What made me write this post was what I have noticed during my morning walk in the last few days.

 
This building housed a family restaurant and bar. I have seen this establishment  operating and serving customers for more that last 25 years or so. There used to ne notices hung out side vacancies for waiters, helpers etc. 
It had to closedown due to COVID 19 lockdown. Few days back saw this notice offering the building on rent. However the board proclaiming a family restaurant and bar was very much there. Holding out hope of reopening after the rent lease was over. Now even that board is gone. The building looks desolate and sad
I have no knowledge as to the reasons why the owner had to rent it out. One should avoid negative thoughts, However times are such the negativity does creep in thinking,
I sincerely hope all is well with those connected with this restaurant. We wish them well and early recovery, normalisation of life.
This was yet another reminder of stark reality life changing events due to COVID 19.
