Since the outbreak of Covid-19, life seems topsy-turvy. As the strict lockdown restrictions eased up in the recent past, it seemed as if everything was coming back normal. People were enjoying their newly found freedom, from dining at the restaurants to enjoying a day out with friends, however, a recent hike in the Covid-19 cases across the nation has forced the government to enforce new guidelines and rules to curtail social gatherings to combat pandemic. Many states like Delhi, Maharashtra, and Odisha have imposed night curfews. No person is allowed to step out after 10 pm.
In Maharashtra, dining at hotels and restaurants has been restricted and only takeaway of food items is allowed, while in Delhi, non-essential services such as restaurants, bars, malls, and theatres will have to work within the stipulated hours. The use of swimming pools, party halls, and other such amenities have been banned in Bengaluru.
If you think pandemic has spoiled all your celebration plans, here’s how you can enjoy your momentous days during the lockdown:
Now, that you can’t go out and party hard with your friends, celebrate milestones of your life like birthdays and anniversaries with your close-knit family. But before that, decide the theme of the party. You can choose from various fancy themes like beach party to Bollywood and game night.
Then, deck your place a bit to get the party vibe. Use some lights, colourful ribbons, lamps, candles or anything handy you can find at home.
As celebrations seem incomplete without delicious cakes and some relishing sweets, take the help of your friends or search through some easy recipes online and bake a delectable cake at home. Now that you can’t eat at your favourite joints, cook some viral recipes instead.
If you can’t call your extended family and friends over, connect them through video chat rooms. Apps such Zoom, Google hangouts or Houseparty can help you connect virtually and you can talk to large groups in a go. And don’t forget to plan some virtual activities. Games like Never Have I ever, Most likely to, Trivia and Heads Up, can make a great mood lifter.
You can even binge on your favourite movie together or set the mood right by turning on your playlist.
Share some goodies with your neighbours and send your friends thankyou e-cards for making your day eventful!
