I’m one of those who religiously guards my weekend. You see the idea is to do nothing and I pretty much subscribe to that as far as possible. Throughout the week, I feel as if I am on a mission ? a mission to complete 10 different things at the same time. That’s why even my husband encourages me to pamper myself over the weekend.

The one come-rain-or-come-shine ritual I indulge myself with come the weekend, is a pampering session all in the comfort of my own home. Yes, I actually have a lady coming over who gives me a relaxing spa massage and facial. Now that’s what I call pure pleasure!

Saturday nights are also greatly looked forward to. We always hit one club or the other, be it the Saturday Club, CC&FC or Tollygunge Club, for a round of fun with our friends. No one really wants to entertain at home, unless it’s a special occasion, because then real relaxation will be thrown to the winds.

It’s such a pleasure coming home late on Saturday night and getting up even later the next morning. It’s a relief really not having to get into work mode. Sunday mornings usually see me lounging around at home, and spending quality time with my daughter. These are the times when we have those famous mother-daughter discussions. Essentially Sundays mean catching up with the family in the city or even over the phone, if they are overseas.

I’m also a total magazine maniac and Sundays are perfect for leafing through my favourites ? India Today, Outlook, and yes the filmi ones too. I read a lot on meditation as well and also like watching Swami Sukhbodhananda’s discourses on the Aastha channel.
