<p>I don’t wait for weekends to arrive to do the things that I enjoy doing. And being in the profession that I am, I don’t really get weekends off. There have been days where I have worked non-stop without a break. I have no complaints because I enjoy what I am doing.</p>.<p>Whenever I get a day or two off, I stay home and watch movies or cook. Even watching movies is never a relaxation for me because I watch movies either from an actor’s or a director’s perspective. I try to learn something new from the movies that I watch.</p>.<p>Shopping is another favourite pastime, but it is interesting only when I am shopping for others and not for myself.</p>.<p>There’s really never a time when I don’t cook. I find it a great de-stresser. I make biryani, both chicken, and mutton. I bought a large vessel just to make it.</p>.<p>I put a lot of effort into what I make because I believe that it sends out positive vibes to those who eat it. I also bake in my spare time. I used to make a lot of cupcakes but I soon found that everybody began making it. It wasn’t as exciting anymore. I now look for recipes that challenge my culinary skills.</p>.<p>If I go to some authentic biryani place and if I like the dish then I ask them for the recipe. I have also experimented with Asian, Chinese and some other styles of cooking.</p>.<p>I am a big foodie. I eat everything I like in small quantities. But I make sure that I burn it all out at the gym the next day I also make sure that I eat a diet that is rich in protein and fibre.</p>.<p>This ensures that my energy levels remain high.</p>.<p>Weekends are also reserved for spending time with my pet Doodle. He likes to be around me whenever I am home. You can’t distract him whenever I am getting my hair and makeup <br />done.</p>.<p>He watches very closely and won’t move, no matter what the provocation is. He doesn’t even bat an eyelid.</p>.<p>I also have a select group of friends that I hang out with. It may sound a wee bit funny but most of my friends are either 10 years younger to me or older to me.</p>.<p>I also set apart some time to be alone. This time is precious because it gives me room to think about the road ahead and plan better.</p>.<p><strong>A few of my favourite things: </strong></p>.<p>Dancing</p>.<p>Listening to music </p>.<p>Shopping </p>.<p>Long drives </p>.<p>Cooking</p>
