With family
When I am in Kolkata I spend the whole day with my family. Sunday morning begins in a musical note as my father plays some classical Bengali songs on the gramophone. The feeling is awesome as music makes the day melodious. Every day my mother used to prepare tea for us but on Sundays my father prepares tea for us. Being at home is itself a tremendous experience. It gives you solace and instills in you the urge to excel.
With Besties
When I am in Mumbai I spend the day with my cronies, the evenings are mostly reserved for them. We go on long drives and, sometimes, to some nearby restaurant or movie theatre. If nothing works out I invite my friends to my place and prepare Chinese food for them. We chat; gossiping is a favourite time pass of the ladies. But some days I feel like lying on the bed alone whole day thinking about myself.
Household chores
As I live alone in Mumbai, taking care of the household is not possible due to busy work schedules; so whenever I get a holiday I try to take out some time to clean up the house as well as the clothes.
Musical Sunday
Sometimes I like to spend entire Sundays in a musical way by playing the harmonium, keyboard and guitar, or listening to music all day long.
