Most ppl have fixed plan for weekend or some public holiday - watch movies, go to a restaurant, go to shop etc. but do we realize that so much more could be done which adds value to your life and skills? I was bored and started looking for options for suggestions and I had good options from sources below:
times of india and hindustan times: every friday & saturday they give contacts of workshops, free events like drama, music etc. I attended 3 free events: 1 pottery workshop and 2 dramas by colleges in last month. it was different activity
wrelax.com: I saw this website as my company's employee board had post abt it. it is a free and open site that lists good trips and adventure sports visits. they had a very detailed guide to water rafting and photography. they also had some recommendations for movies (not the running, but past) which were nicely reviewdd. I am now a regular reader of this site and look to get good points from it
activity grp: I like bird watching so I signed on to various sites like quickr, locanto etc looking for similar persons. after some 15-20 sites, I finally got a mail frm anothe person with same skill and now we go for bird watching together 1 time in month.
so this is how u can too add actives in your holidays. watching movies at multiplex and eating burgers become boring after sm time so we should change our activities and be active.
