My mouth waters as I type this, and I cannot bear this separation anymore. Pav Bhaji or Chola Kulcha and Gol Gappa — my all-time favorite dishes is probably the first street food dish I’ll hop on. Do take care of health, do not overeat!

Covered in the by lanes of South West Delhi, Sarojini Nagar is a neighborhood clothing market that stocks up everything you need. Best for boys funky t-shirts, and Especially for girls, If you’re looking for easy-breezy pocket-friendly dresses, crop tops, kurtas, denim, and even bottoms, you can get them from SN. Also, these folks have some really cheap denim shorts and t-shirts from pure cotton — everything you need for summer! Do not forget to bargain with them.

4. Get The Hair Done & Head Massage

We obviously can’t wait to get a haircut. This is the first thing I am going to do after the lockdown ends. I will get my hair and beard done. If you’re left with a few more minutes, get your head massage done! It will come as a lockdown stress buster.

5. Go for a walk at Hauz Khas Deer Park

Walk to Hauz Khas Deer Park in the evening and spend some lovely time in the company of deer and pink weather. The park is quite good and has a variety of swings for kids, a slide, seesaw and some good sigh scenes, a lake to enjoy the evening and a lot of cafes around it.

6. Have a coffee at Indian Coffee House and Coffee Home, CP

Coffee Home has quite hammered the art of making vintage style coffee, and I cannot wait to get some of their Mazagran. Indian Coffee House – A former base of politicians and authors, visit by loyal customers these days. Both places are legacy for cheap coffee, pakoda and dosa plates, and endless conversations.

7. Visit A Mall

Let’s be honest here — it’s been ages since I’ve been to a mall, and now I eagerly want to check out one. The Grand Venice Mall, Ambience & Pacific mall is my pick because I want to hit up their gaming and ice zone! And shop Zara & lifestyle also.

8. Tackle Summer In The Water Park

Sure you can take a shower in cold water at home, but the fun of swimming at the water park with waves and those fantastic, exciting water rides with great views will surely help you this summer to deal with it. There’s a good list of water parks in Delhi NCR you must be aware of. You can expect smooth soundtracks and great rides.

9. Visit Peaceful Lanes of Old Delhi on Sunday Morning

Old Delhi morning walk is worth getting up early for. No really! With fantastic food joints to shopping, old Delhi is pretty amazing than usual days on Sunday. Throughout this ordinary life, the Sunday market is something that is missing from daily life. We could buy books and other kinds of stuff also, starting at prices as low as ₹20, you never know what you are going to find in Purani Dilli. Book collectors & foodies can go as much nostalgic as they want. Some of these old Delhi gems – Lotan ke chole kulche, JB Kachauri, Shyam sweets, Kanwar Ji, Inderpuri, and Giani’s at Fatehpuri. For books, there is a particular market on Nai Sarak, Chandni Chowk.

10. Go For A Photo Walk At Tombs

Just around a kilometer away from the metro station Qutub Minar is a fantastic place for photographers. These tombs are well-known for their architectural design and are mostly visited by photographers for Photowalk. Spend an evening at India gate to capture amazing some scenes. You’ve got to be here during the evening is amazing, and I recommend Safdarjung tomb, Humayun Tomb, Jama Masjid, Lodhi garden, Quli Khan at Mehrauli getting here by 5 pm or around 11 am.

11. Scream for ice cream at Naturals!

They are known for their blissful natural mango and sithaphal ice creams and the seasonal icecreams in cones. While the regular flavors aren’t terrific to eat, it needs to be tried just once for the experience of it, but the seasonal flavors are delightful. Also, if you don’t know, these natural ice creams are super Instagrammable!
