KOEL MALLICK

Me-time for me is to daydream. I think of a lot of things, my mind travels far and wide and I become totally oblivious of my surroundings.... The other favourite thing to do is just lie on my couch in the balcony.

ABIR CHATTERJEE

Me-time for me means catching a quick nap and if it’s an extended nap, then nothing like it! I also watch good movies.

DEV

I hardly have any me-time these days, so whenever I can snatch some time for myself I catch a quick nap and be with my family.

GAURAV CHAKRABARTY

Most of my me-time is spent lazing around doing nothing. I am a tech addict. So whatever time remains is spent with the laptop/iPad/phone. Also, on every day-off, I try to watch a movie. I have a modest collection of films from all over the world.

RIDHIMA GHOSH

I play games on my iPad... games like Chef Town, Star Chef, Hay Day, Township. My favourite is The Sims. Also, I am obsessed with my Kinect for Xbox One where I play Kinect Sports. Then I browse YouTube and learn new recipes. Me-time also means baking cookies and cakes.... Sometimes I just play music and dance like crazy. That makes me the happiest!

RAIMA SEN  

My me-time is spent jogging or swimming or exercising, generally. That’s when I think of nothing else. No phone, no distractions.

PARAMBRATA CHATTOPADHYAY

I love tuning into Apple Music, it’s the new addiction. Have been tripping on Nick Drake, a folk rock artiste from the Seventies…. My other favourite thing to do in me-time is watching movies. My hard drive is stacked with films. I also read. Currently I am reading City of Djinns by (William) Dalrymple, I am discovering the book a little late but nevertheless.

RITUPARNA SENGUPTA

I like to spend my me-time in the salon. A good hair spa is my favourite thing to do. After I come back home, I sip on coffee and read a good book.

SHAHEB BHATTACHERJEE  

I am a PlayStation  addict… whatever little me-time I get, I spend it with my PlayStation. I’m either playing FIFA 16, Call of Duty: Black Ops or watching movies on it. When I play games on it at night, I don’t even realise when it’s early morning! My mom and Sonika (Chauhan, girlfriend) hate my PlayStation.... I even have a PS portable to carry to shoots which boasts a collection of over 50 latest games and over 400 movies.

PARNO MITTRA

Travelling alone is my favourite me-time activity. I need to spend time with myself every six months! And that’s why I travel alone; I love it. Right from planning to packing to making mental notes.

JUNE

My me-time is when I am having tea in my car from Azad Hind Dhaba in Ballygunge or ginger tea at Prinsep Ghat. Driving around the city is also a favourite me-time thing to do. Else, I spend hours pottering around the house, cleaning cupboards and reading a book or watching my favourite show MasterChef Asia. But now my me-time is all about Netflix. I am crazily hooked! 

JISSHU SENGUPTA

Whenever I get some me-time, I spend it with my daughters Sara and Zara. With Sara, who’s 10 now, I become a five-year-old and with Zara, who’s three, I become a four-year-old. And we are always monkeying around the house. Nilanjanaa (wife) is our mom and she’s scolding us all the time.... Zara’s favourite song is Gerua (Dilwale), so we play Shah Rukh-Kajol. She is Kajol and I have to stand like Shah Rukh while she sings Gerua!

RIYA SEN

My favourite me-time activity is lying on the bed in between my dad (Bharat Dev Varma), mom (Moon Moon Sen) and sister (Raima Sen) and chat and laugh about funny stories of each other while watching TV and eating snacks.

SWASTIKA MUKHERJEE

My me-time is all about watching crime series like Criminal Minds and Rizzoli & Isles on TV. And while watching these, I have to solve the case before it unfolds! I am also hooked to Temple Run (video game)
on my iPhone.

MIMI CHAKRABORTY

My me-time is spent watching cartoons like Shin Chan, Oggy And The Cockroaches... that’s what I love doing when I am at home. And I also doze off whenever I get time. 

PAOLI DAM

Eating dark chocolate and marshmallows in the afternoon on a day-off is how I spend my me-time.
