How To Have A Happy Weekend?

Has the "make weekends meet' routine left you in a rut? Does it feel unusually hectic and frustrating? Did you put the key in your car ignition today and instead of going to the office, you felt like taking a quick detour to a mall? Well one could not blame you if the answers to these questions is 'Yes'.

With the weather becoming more delightful every day, one simply wants to pack their bags, put on those gum boots and go into the wilderness and spend a day exploring something or the other. But, you do not have an option but to slog those 12-14 hours at the office every week day while the boss chews your ears off. Well, fret not! Why do you think god made weekends?

Monsoon season has kicked in and has brought with it fun activities that may seem quite mundane otherwise. Be it staying at home or going out with your friends or family, rainy season tends to just remove the 'boring' out of everything and replaces it with fun. So, here are some activities you could do over a weekend to unwind and drain all that week-long fatigue from your body.

Adventure Sports

It is time to get some wind in your hair and take a plunge into an adventure you have always been craving. Take out those shoes, find your windcheater and set out with a bunch of your friends for trekking, camping, cycling or river rafting.

A Long Drive

What can sound more relaxing than a long drive on a rainy weekend with your friends. Do not forget to stop by for some 'adrakwali chai, pakoras and bhutta'. Drive safe!

Walk On The Beach

Drive out to the nearby beach with your family or friends and indulge in some fun beach games like volleyball, football, etc. If you are longing for some solitude and want a happy weekend, go for a walk on the beach alone or with your pet.

Go To The Movies

Catch a movie with your friends at the near-by multiplex to have an active and happy weekend. Nothing can beat some freshly-made popcorn and a movie to relax you.

Some Spa And Shopping

Go shopping with your girlfriends and do not forget to shop till you drop! Catch up with them over lunch. And, after that delicious lunch, off to the spa to get rid of that week-long stress. It is one of the best ways women use to have an active and happy weekend.

Sleeping Beauty

How many times have you told yourself during the week that you could sleep for "five more minutes". Well, looks like you got what you have wanted the whole week. Catch up on all the sleep lost during the week.

Arrange A Reading Soiree

Put together a book club if you love reading. Even better, make a theme self-party out of it. For instance, dress up like the characters of The Great Gatsby while reading the book.

Board Game Party

Still love playing board games! Well what are you waiting for? Invite your friends over and let the games begin. Or, go to the nearest sports bar and play some pool or bowling.

Something New

Learn something new to have an active and happy weekend. Enroll in a baking or a pottery class. If you like painting, join a glass or fabric painting class in your city.

Slumber Party

When was the last time you and your friends had a stay over? Invite your close friends home. Give each other makeovers and let the incessant fun begin.
