I had read somewhere, ‘You only live once,
and once is enough if you do it properly’- a very apt statement describing the
irony of modern life. The pace at which we encounter shift of emotions and situations
has outrun life. With the motto of extracting more from each and every second
of existence, fun and frolic has taken a back seat in the super mechanical
contemporary lifestyle. Families have lost the essence of having some quality
time together.
Even the weekends are occupied with
household chores and vacations are sparse. One can hardly spare some time for
‘Nothing’. In fact, as days pass, we are caught up in the same old monotonicity
of daily life, not realizing that precious moments are passing us by. In a time
like this, even the small moments caught over the dinner tables of restaurant in Delhi or while having a
cup of tea should be saved and relished.
So, never miss an opportunity to defy rules
and steal some time with your loved ones. However, ironically, the shopping
malls in India have worked out an effective plan for us but to our own
benefits. With every single amenity of need and entertainment, stringed into a
single loop, you can efficiently save time and multitask between enjoying and shop
for necessities.
While your children enjoy in the kids play zone in New Delhi, you can
rush the grocery shopping at departmental stores. But once what’s important is
done and the family is ready to unite, you can choose activities of mutual
interest, from the available range of options—which is not scarce by any means.
Moreover, you can skip the daily cooking
routine and indulge in flavours and hospitality of one of the fine-dine restaurants in Delhi. Then, a movie
afterwards can be nice, or if you plan to do something more engaging, then get
back to the kids play zone and enjoy a game of pool or snooker.
So, even in this busy routine you can
easily snatch away some quiet moments and have some fun.
