The fast paced life has led us to become paradoxical creatures. Entangled into a web of endless options for entertainment and yet nothing seems to interest us. We seem to lie in bed, depressed at the very prospect of getting up for nothing seems to attract us. Those weekends can be especially unproductive, where one refuses to go beyond the four walls of the bedroom and till complains with each passing breath about the dull- dull day. While, I myself am guilty of these sins, I have found that just pulling the sheets away helps sometimes. Here are some sure shot easy to embrace the day and bid adieu to the monotony in our life and our mind.
A good book can do more for you than the idiot box ever will, walk into a bookstore and browse through pages and pages of wisdom. Sometimes, the very smell of books releases those happy hormones in me! Sit down with a cuppa joe at any serene café in Delhi shopping mall, and let your mind relax while it dives into an adventurous world, far far away from the life we live. You can delve into a fantasy fiction or thriller for some adrenaline rush, or get insight into the world’s issues through some poignant non- fiction works!
There is nothing quite like the rush you get from the swipe of a credit card, thanks to those amazing malls like Select Citywalk, Delhi shopping has become the ultimate de- stress resort, for one has the best brands in the world at their disposal! You can shop for amazing casual wear at Aeropostale or get yourself an all new trendy wardrobe at H and M! Be it shopping for your pet, your home or your kitchen, malls are a one stop shop destination for all your needs. If nothing else, you can spend hours in the air conditioned space looking through windows and displays, trying samples at MAC or Sephora at Select City Walk Saket and get yourself a makeover! If nothing is working for you, just follow Paolo Nutinis pearls of wisdom and get yourself a pair of new shoes!
A steaming hot plate of your favourite food might just put the zing in your dull day! Treat yourself to whatever you like; give into those cravings and self- indulge to the hilt! If you really want to fancy things up, try something new I say and venture into unprecedented areas that your tummy still is unaware of; try a new cuisine! The most exciting meal for a seafood lover is undoubtedly the humble but super delicious sushi. Personally when on a budget I love going to Sushiya to eat my hearts fill, or when getting really fancy my wallet allows me to take things up a notch and dine at places like Yum Yum Cha!
If all else fails, go for a run, those hormones releases with physical activity can really uplift your mood!
