The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on people’s lives worldwide. From job losses and financial instability to the closure of businesses, the pandemic has caused an unprecedented disruption to daily routines. The resulting lockdowns and restrictions further aggravated the situation, forcing many people to find alternative means of income and livelihood.
One such couple in Faridabad found themselves in a precarious position when their printing press business suffered substantial losses during the pandemic. With no other options available, they decided to start a food stall to make ends meet. Their story was captured on video by food blogger Jatin Singh and shared on social media.
The video shows the couple standing at their food stall located in Greenfield Colony near Gate No. 5 in Faridabad. Despite the challenges they faced, they appear to be determined and committed to their new venture. The video has since gone viral, garnering over six lakh views and 29,000 likes on Instagram within a week of its posting.
The man said, “I used to run a printing press, but it went downhill during the lockdown. Then, I did a job for some time, but the money needed to fulfil our daily expenses was much higher and it got difficult to manage. So, my wife and I decided to start something of our own because we knew how to cook.”
The couple’s story is not unique, as many individuals and families across the globe have had to adapt to new circumstances and challenges brought on by the pandemic. However, their resilience and tenacity in the face of adversity serve as a reminder of the human spirit’s enduring strength and ability to overcome difficulties.
The pandemic has reminded us of the importance of community and support during difficult times. By sharing stories like this couple’s on social media, we can inspire and uplift one another, fostering a sense of solidarity and hope in the face of uncertainty.
