Udupi: Lockdown - Hotel remains closed, ash gourd grows on name board


Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi (SP)

Udupi, Jun 7: At the entry gate of a hotel that has remained shut due to lockdown, where the name of the hotel is prominently displayed, an ash gourd vine has had a robust growth. An ash gourd that has grown on the name board has been aptly named by the netizens as the 'lockdown ash gourd'.

The picture of this ash gourd has become viral on social websites.

This ash gourd has taken shape in the vine that has grown around the name board of the hotel located at Car Street here.

Hotels and other establishments have been going through a lean patch now as they have remained closed because of corona-induced lockdown. Moreover, the coast has been getting rains often for the last some weeks either on account of cyclones or pre-monsoon rains. The vine has taken this opportunity to spread its base. The robustly grown vine has several flowers and tender ash gourds and thereby attracts the attention of the people.

    Now hotel owner has closed the hotel for so long ,he is loosing the money .Why cant he use it instead of keep closing as a corona hospital or clinic till everything is comes down .?He can earn money too.He can use it to serve food for patients.Use it other way.I heard in TamilNadu a politician has turned out his office as Corona hospital.Patients can stay here instead of in hospital for high cost.atferall rooms are there .instead of closing all the time they can lend it for lesser price than usual as hospitals.win win process .

    Enjoy your stay Ash Gourd. No one will touch you even the hotel people. Otherwise they would have cut you and served you as sambar.

    Even though no customers around the Ash gourd is growing and takes the pride to be on the name board occupying the prominent place where S (ಸ) is hidden behind. Nature has its own way to please humans ! This natures wonder needs to be protected.

    Cynthia, im surprised that you have not tasted Ash graud (kuwalo) with mutton. In M'lore Kumbda with Mutton or head & neck meat (thoklo ) is so popular. I would relish the receipe. If want to try tou can Google and note in detail.👍👌😛
