Unannounced visits are unwelcome

 Those were the days when people loved to host and entertain guests, especially relatives. 

Though people subsisted with bare minimum of resources, they relished, loved to extend hospitality to the utmost be it a relative or a friend. 

One would forsake the cot, sleep on the floor and let the guests sleep on the cots.

One would go out of the way to help or assist relatives who find it difficult to make both ends meet, help people to find jobs.

It has all changed. 

Everything is now apna apna. 

Guests are certainly entertained if they arrive after fixing up an appointment. 

If not, they'd stiil be entertained,  the silent message would be clear.

Unannounced visits are  unwelcome. 

Overnight stay of guests, is not encouraged. 

This is just a general observation. 

Variances will be there. 

I pray the positivity exceeds the negativity
