Sundays are wonderful for catching up with work that has been left untouched, unwinding and binge-watching Netflix.

But above all, it’s a great day for planning and making sure the next week will be your best week. Ever.

Here are some of the things I (try to) do every Sunday and how, by doing so, I avoid the Monday blues, feeling overwhelmed or anxious about the week ahead.Sundays don’t need to be what they are most commonly known for; a lazy day for hangovers and meaningless binge-watching (and eating).

My first tip for you is to think of Sundays like the first day of the week.

You can get a head start on your work for the week by prepping on Sundays.This is by far my favorite tip for avoiding the Monday blues.

Do what you can on Sundays and the rest of the week won’t feel as stressful.  It’s so important to set aside time for your self. It might be a warm bubble bath , meditation, reading, a long walk listening to your favorite podcast or going out with your hubby or best friend for dinner.Whatever self-care is for you, do it every Sunday (preferably a little every day).You don’t ever want to start off the week with a messy home, desk, apartment, and safe space.Spend 30 minutes every Sunday decluttering, vacuuming those dust bunnies and doing the dishes.You’re bound to be happier and feel more productive if your environment and space is clutter-free.Last but not least, make sure to do absolutely nothing as well.Sundays are not meant to be stressful but they are great for prepping and getting a head start on your work.Remember – it’s still a day of rest so make sure to schedule your downtimeMy favorite thing to do during my downtime is to eat chocolate , go for a walk or watch my all time favorite cartoons, friends. What about you?

Sunday it always for yourself and for things and people who are important to you but due to work load and busy schedule we tend to ignore those…most importantly to our parents they also deserve our time as they invest everything in us…so guys reach out with this Sunday schedule and make it a funday on lazy and dizzzy day…

Shillong  is a hill station in the northeastern part of India and the capital of Meghalaya, which means “The Abode of Clouds” and is one of the smallest states in India. It is the headquarters of the East Khasi Hills district and is situated at an average altitude of 4,908 feet (1,496 m) above sea level, with the highest point being Shillong Peak at 6,449 feet (1,966 m). Shillong is the 330th most populous city in India with a population of 143,229 according to the 2011 census. It is said that the rolling hills around the town reminded the European settlers of Scotland. Hence, they would also refer to it as the “Scotland of the East”.

Shillong has steadily grown in size since it was made the civil station of the Khasi and Jaintia Hills in 1864 by the British. In 1874, on the formation of Assam as the Chief Commissioner’s Province, it was chosen as the headquarters of the new administration because of its convenient location between the Brahmaputra and Surma valleys and more so because the climate of Shillong was much cooler than tropical India. Shillong remained the capital of undivided Assam until the creation of the new state of Meghalaya on 21 January 1972, when Shillong became the capital of Meghalaya, and Assam moved its capital to Dispur in Guwahati.

                                  

Cherrapunji  with the native name Sohra being more commonly used, and can also be spelled Cherrapunjee or Cherrapunji) is a subdivisional town in the East Khasi Hills district in the Indian state of Meghalaya. It is the traditional capital of aNongkhlaw hima (Khasi tribal chieftainship constituting a petty state), both known as Sohra or Churra.

Cherrapunji has often been credited as being the wettest place on Earth, but for now nearby Mawsynram currently holds that distinction. Cherrapunji still holds the all-time record for the most rainfall in a calendar month and in a year, however: it received 9,300 millimetres (370 in; 30.5 ft) in July 1861 and 26,461 millimetres (1,041.8 in; 86.814 ft) between 1 August 1860 and 31 July 1861.

Elephant Waterfalls  is a waterfall in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. It is located about 25 km from Da Lat on the Cam Ly River. The falls are described as one of the most beautiful of the Central Highlands.

A path with steps carved out into the slippery rocks leads to the foot of the falls. Bats roam around the area, where they inhabit a cave under the waterfalls.

                                      

One of the most popular attractions of Shillong, Ward’s lake is a must-visit place when in this pristine north-eastern city. Also known as Pollock’s Lake, this artificial water body is encircled by an extensive lush garden and lies in the middle of the city. Take a walk around this horse-shoe shaped lake on the cobble-stone path or simply admire the colorful floral beds in the garden. It is equally popular amidst locals, family vacationers and honeymooning couples, as a picnic spot.

The lake is named after the then Chief Commissioner of Assam, Sir William Ward, who started the plan for the establishment of this lake. It was later on constructed in the year 1894 by Colonel Hopkins. One of the associated stories is that a Khasi prisoner develop the area around the Lake to change the monotony is his daily routine.

Close to the Ward’s Lake is a botanical garden that boasts of several orchids along with a number of other floral species. In the middle of the lake is a wooden bride from where you can enjoy a lovely views of the Lake and you can partake in feeding the fishes too. Visitors can also enjoy boating here on the placid waters of the Lake.

There is a cafeteria too in the lake’s complex where you can gorge on a wide variety of refreshments and beverages. Lying below Raj Bhavan (the Governor’s Residence), the lake can be easily accessed via local transport.

Jaipur  is the capital and the largest city of the Indian state of Rajasthan. It was founded on 18 November 1727 by Jai Singh II,the ruler of Amer, and after whom the city is named. As of 2011, the city had a population of 3.1 million, making it the tenth most populous city in the country. Jaipur is also known as the Pink City, due to the dominant color scheme of its buildings. It is located 268 km (167 miles) from the national capital New Delhi. Jaipur is a popular tourist destination in India and forms a part of the west Golden Triangle tourist circuit along with Delhi and Agra (240 km, 149 mi). It also serves as a gateway to other tourist destinations in Rajasthan such as Jodhpur (348 km, 216 mi), Jaisalmer (571 km, 355 mi) Udaipur (421 km, 262 mi), Kota (252 km, 156 mi) and Mount Abu (520 km, 323 mi).

HAWA MAHAL

HawaMahal is a palace in Jaipur, India. It is constructed of red and pink sandstone. The palace sits on the edge of the City Palace, Jaipur, and extends to the zenana, or women’s chambers.

The structure was built in 1799 by Maharaja SawaiPratap Singh. He was so inspired by the unique structure of KhetriMahal that he built this grand and historical palace. It was designed by Lal Chand Ustad. Its unique five-story exterior is akin to the honeycomb of a beehive with its 953 small windows called jharokhas decorated with intricate latticework.The original intent of the lattice design was to allow royal ladies to observe everyday life and festivals celebrated in the street below without being seen, since they had to obey the strict rules of “purdah”, which forbade them from appearing in public without face coverings. This architectural feature also allowed cool air from the Venturi effect to pass through, thus making the whole area more pleasant during the high temperatures in summer.Many people see the HawaMahal from the street view and think it is the front of the palace, but in reality it is the back of that structure.

CITY PALACE

The City Palace was established at the same time as the city of Jaipur, by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, who moved his court to Jaipur from Amber, in 1727. Jaipur is the present-day capital of the state of Rajasthan, and until 1949 the City Palace was the ceremonial and administrative seat of the Maharaja of Jaipur. The Palace was also the location of religious and cultural events, as well as a patron of arts, commerce, and industry. It now houses the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum, and continues to be the home of the Jaipur royal family. The palace complex has several buildings, various courtyards, galleries, restaurants and offices of the Museum Trust. The Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum Trust looks after the Museum, royal cenotaphs (known as chhatris) and the fort of Jaigarh.

NAHARGARH FORT

Nahargarh Fort stands on the edge of the Aravalli Hills, overlooking the city of Jaipur in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Along with Amer Fort and Jaigarh Fort, Nahargarh once formed a strong defense ring for the city. The fort was originally named Sudarshangarh but it became known as Nahargarh, which means ‘abode of tigers‘. The popular belief is that Nahar here stands for Nahar Singh Bhomia,whose spirit haunted the place and obstructed construction of the fort. Nahar’s spirit was pacified by building a temple in his memory within the fort, which thus became known by his name.Built mainly in 1734 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, the king of Jaipur, the fort was constructed as a place of retreat on the summit of the ridge above the city. Walls extended over the surrounding hills, forming fortifications that connected this fort to Jaigarh, the fort above the old capital of Amber. Though the fort never came under attack during the course of its history, it did see some historical events, notably the treaties with the Maratha forces who warred with Jaipur in the 18th century. During the Indian Mutiny of 1857, the Europeans of the region, including the British Resident‘s wife, were moved to Nahargarh fort by the king of Jaipur, Sawai Ram Singh, for their protection.

AMER FORT

Amer, now a part of the Jaipur Municipal CorporatThe first structure was started by Raja KakilDev when Amer became his capital in 1036, on the site of present-day Jaigarh Fort. Around 1037 AD, Amer was conquered by the Kachwaha clan of Rajputs.Much of the present structure known as Amer Fort is actually the palace built by Raja Man Singh who ruled from 1590 to 1614 AD. The palace contains several spectacular buildings, such as the Diwan-i-Khas, and the elaborately painted Ganesh Pole built by the renowned warlord Mirza Raja Jai Singh I (Man Singh I’s grandson). The old and original fort of Amer, dating from earlier Rajas or the Meena period, is what is known in the present day as Jaigarh Fort, which was actually the main defensive structure rather than the palace itself. The two structures are interconnected by a series of encompassing fortifications.ion, was a city of the Rajasthan state, India.

The picturesque situation of Amer at the mouth of a rocky mountain gorge, in which nestles a lake, has attracted the admiration of travellers, including Victor Jacquemont and Reginald Heber. It is seen to be a remarkable example for its combined Rajput-Mughal architecture. The Amer Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the top tourist attraction in the Jaipur area.

After a few lazy nights in Charanag, in Hallan Valley — a small town tucked away from the crowd of Manali, in Himachal Pradesh — it was time to relax, and lose myself in oblivion, yet once again. And Sethan sounded like a perfect name.

Located approximately at a 45-minute drive from Manali, Sethan is a place for slow travellers – particularly during winters, when snow claims its ground and any movement beyond this tiny Buddhist town, becomes impossible!

THINGS TO DO IN SETHAN

                              

Since Sethan sits at an altitude of over 2700m above sea level (almost 700m higher than Manali) it offers a combination of winter and summer adventure activities. One can compare it with the likes of Solang Valley minus the crowd.

Between December and March, Sethan receives heavy snowfall making its grassy land ideal for skiing, snowboarding and snow-hiking. And thanks to its offbeat location and no chair-lift, the chances of bumping into a fellow skier are always next to none. Though you may bump into a bear, if you’re that unlucky, but rest assured, you will enjoy the exclusivity of the place. During the summer, the place is ideal for camping and trekking.

Where To Stay In Sethan

Since Sethan is a small town housing no more than 20 properties, the accommodation is fairly limited. You can either choose to stay in a real Igloo, which of course sounds a bit interesting, but it costs you a whopping seven or eight thousand Rupees per night per p

Here’re a few pictures of the campsite footloose camps and some views, in all weather:

Think big And Think positive should always be the attitude towards the life. Optimistic behavior approach always lead to postivity in life . Living in the past and fear of future should not one think of . One should live with no fear as it is very important to live in the present The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today with no waste of time.

Do you hate dieting and want to be a fit person? As fitness is a new sexy thing one need. But achieving and maintaining fitness is a problem nowadays. Questions come to our mind “i have to be fit” , “i have to lose weight”, ” i have to eat healthy ” and many more. First thing which is important is avoidance of junk food and then secondly start with a exercise. By choosing a right exercise and right food changes your lifestyle.It keeps us motivated and focused in our life. You should not eat healthy for one day and then go back to unhealthy diet for next 10 days. One needs to do a little push and make some efforts to be a healthier one. An hour of exercise keeps a man healthy wealthy and wise but no exercise makes you lazy , ugly and fat. Everybody likes to be in shape at every age as fitness makes you more healthier and happier in life . Healthier people are away from the diseases and sickness. Self control over food has become a necessity nowadays , one can control everything but not craving. Craving of spicy, craving of desserts, craving of pungent food but what makes it balance is only exercise and exercise.

Love being a free bird and travel the world to her fullest.Nothing can stop you from pursuing your dreams if you are determined to achieve. I was always afraid of travelling alone and so many questions came to my mind as how it would be ? how will i manage it alone? what kind of people i will meet ? will i be comfortable with them? and so on… but as the time grows i overcome my fear of travelling alone. I planned my first trip to Jaisalmer starting from convincing my parents to a solo trip. It started from train to camps surrounded by strangers . Trip full of adventure it was. People are actually nice as i thought it would be difficult for me to explore it alone but eventually you realize you don’t need company what you need is self satisfaction and self company which was missing in my life. Every individual once in a life should plan a solo trip as it teaches you a lot and gives you the best experience of your life. I had a great time exploring.

Am i the only one who gets more excited when  the food looks amazing? Clubbing, drinking , dancing is nice , but when you are tired what's next except the good food. Be it a cheese veg sandwich when i think of ordering something very cheesy in this season my mood uplifts so quickly. And then the cheesy sandwich looked at me and asked me "Do you mind the amount of cheesiness I am willing to offer". And then what my excitement level just got doubled. Probably the only sandwich i would looking for !! then it became my all time favorite wala sandwich with the french fries. 

If there is one thing i have learned this past year is that how important is to love yourself. It’s very easy to criticize yourself, not appreciating yourself enough for everything you do but it’s very difficult to accept flaws, and getting comfortable in your own skin. Accepting yourself is a long journey and certainly not an easy one . I still get annoyed with myself sometimes and it’s totally normal. The most important thing is that you love yourself and celebrate your uniqueness every chance you get in your life. Self love is the best thing one can do in their respected life.
