It would be wrong to blame anyone generation for living on their phone but the harsh reality is that most of this included our parents and grandparents are stuck to our phones like a moth to a flame. And it won’t be fair to say that it is because of anything apart from our want to be on our devices. You might also know that these social media sites that you love to be on actually follow a very classic model to track your activities and show you stuff that will keep you clinging to these apps for long hours. Under the influence of this, we are barely left with any social lives and most of us avoid situations of communication due to anxiety. With this, most of us don’t remember the last time we went on a lunch date without clicking pictures of our food or sat with our family to have a regular conversation about life. we don’t even find time for our me-time let alone for anyone else. So for this coming weekend, it is our determination to convince you to spend some quality time with your family without your gadgets. Don’t worry the package deal of fun we have got will compel you to go ahead and try a day in your life like it was back then.
- Early to bed early to rise
Only if you wake up early will you get a day of energy and motivation. This means no OTT platforms for the night and no binge-watching your favourite series. Sleep early on Fridays and wake up early the next day.
- Cook breakfast
Even if it is a tough job to do it all yourself you can always help your mum or dad chop and saute the veggies, toast the bread and pour a glass of milk. You may also order it if you like but it will minus a big chunk of family time.
- Evening tea conversation
Now that the mood has lightened, everyone is used to some time without their phones and are falling in love with the idea of one more such day, it’s time to play the trump card. With evening tea, discuss everything you wanted to and speak about your life.
- A dinner outside
Make the dinner a fancy retreat and take your family out to whatever restaurant or outlet you like. Eat good food, have ice cream, click family pictures and talk. It is a pretty big deal for everyone to find the time to go out together, don’t miss out on it.
- Cut a cake
After you have come back, you must applaud what a day it was and order cake delivery in Kolkata. It may not be your birthday but you get the best deals if you say it is. Order a chocolate, mango, coffee or any other cake and have some sweetness sprinkled on you.
- Plan a picnic
The next day you are free to go off the hook and plan something extravagant. You may like the idea of going for a picnic with your family to some nearby adventure park or a big temple or to your relative’s house.
Enticed by the forthcoming weekend and what it’s going to look like, start preparing today so it goes the best one ever. Make no further plans you are booked with your family this weekend.
