My way of looking at this quarantine, lockdown is - 'It's a blessing in disguise'
Has anyone of us stayed under their respective roofs for such a long time? The answer for most of us is 'No'
Hasn't it helped all those avid shoppers from saving our money? The answer is 'Yes'

Focus on what you can control!

Many of ours new year resolution was to become fit so isn't it, the right time to avoid outside food and eat healthy?
All those who were heavily dependent on the community helpers will now realize, how important it is to be independent!

After 21 days of lockdown!

It has all given us a chance to stay together, eat together and share our feelings with our people. We are unable to meet people but who really cares will stay connected with you no matter what. This generally doesn't happen, we always complain that we don't have enough time to do what we want so here's the right opportunity for us to grab and do what we love.
Remember 'this time too shall pass' and there would be soon time when you will complain like you are doing now that you are missing the quarantined time when you were home 🏡
So, be grateful to where you are now, stay positive by taking proper precautions to fight this monster named '#Corona' 👿

Go Coron, corona go 😄 Stay home, stay safe!

Friends reunion along with birthday bash had to be special. How could we settle for something that isn't the best for the special times, it had to be the place of good times - Hoppipola.

My gang playing zenga

Hoppipola Decor - Khar

Situated in one of the buzzing areas of Khar where you have so many options to look out for. It being Sunday, we didn't want to be amongst those who have to wait for some place so we reserved our seats in advance.

A beautiful place with spectacular ambiance. The lighting, seating, decor everything was perfect. Music was good and so was the staff. You will also find games like uno, ludo, zenga etc. to spend good time.

Let's jump to our main focus - drinks & food
A) Drinks
a) Tower - If you are a huge gang then the best option is to go for tower which was served in a barrel(made us feel like the pirates 😜)

Tower

b) Blood bank - Barcardi mixed with cranberry, pomegranate juice. Well! To be honest we didn't order this. It looked very fascinating so just clicked a picture(maybe you can try and let me know😊)

B) Food
a) Hoppi fried chicken - Chicken crispy bites for the initial mood riser. Perfect munching!

b) Cheesy nachos avalanche with chicken - A great combination of nachos loaded with chicken and cheese. The quantity though was ok and taste was fine.

Now, that the hunger monster is come alive, it's time for the amazing platters to serve the hungry souls 😈
c) Chicken chatter platter - Combination of hoppi fried chicken(good crispy chicken as I mentioned above), old monk chicken wings(amazingly blended with old monk that it was tasting just Wow!), chicken sukka(typical South Indian taste👍🏻), chicken trilogy(skewers were ok).

d) Mixed Meat Desi chatter platter - Combination of chicken tikka(ok), mutton seekh kebab(recommended), southern spiced crispy prawns(good), Amritsari fish fingers(ok)

In short, we tasted most of their starter menu 😅

Last to top it all, we went for piizzzaaaaaa 😋
e) Jerk chicken pizza - spiced chicken with jalapeños and bell peppers. It had a think crust which made it better in taste.

All this delicious food, good music and games with amazing company called for a night to cherish forever. It was late night yet didn't feel like leaving this place. Towards the end DJ played nice songs that we couldn't stop ourselves from shaking our legs a bit before we signed off from the place.

I would surely call it Happy pola (which means going in tulu) for the mind-blowing time we had here!

Every time a new year kick starts, our lost hope of a goal that was not achieved comes to our mind first. But before that the first question that needs to be answered is whether you believe in having a new resolution or not? The moment, the answer is NO! You have lost half the battle for all those who have already given up even before trying.

Even for those who still have some ray of hope then you should get started without any second thought.

What's your new year resolution?

Because it's YOU who can bring the change that you want to see. I would suggest you to start with smaller goals. Forget about the past, what could not be achieved? You have today & tomorrow in your hand so bring about the change.

Here are few goals that you can choose -

Resolution#1 - Better version of yourself

1. Be Better than last year - The first focus should be on yourself because if you are doing well mentally & physically - you can give the best to the world. So, take out time from your busy schedule in order to be fitter and better. Indulge yourself with some activities like yoga, exercise or jogging. Also the most important factor being your good health so have proper, healthy meal. So, make a promise to yourself to treat yourself well towards a healthier life.
Set your personal and professional goals separately so you know how you need to improve yourself wherever you were lagging to become a better version of yourself.

More resolutions!

2. Focus on what makes you happy - Take up on an adventure, go for solo/group trips with family/friends. Try to create memories as these would last lifetime. This would help you find who you truly are! And don't forget like I say, 'When you dies with good memories.'
(Want to know more on Why should you travel?)

3. Spend time with Family and Friends - We don't know what tomorrow will bring forth us. So, try to make time for your near and dear ones. There is no use of lots of money if you don't have family besides you when you are unwell nor there's any point if you don't have friends to have fun with. So, live in the moment and realize the value of spending time with family and friends at the right time.

4.  Charity for the society - Pay back time! You should give something back to the society whether it be your service, time or money. We should  always thank God for where we are as there are many others who don't have a roof to protect themselves nor proper food to fill their stomach neither do they have someone who loves, cares or protects them. So why not do a bit of our share & give back some love, some care to the world. Such that our world becomes a better place to live for not only humans but also animals.

DREAM IT. WISH IT. DO IT. You'll feel better once you start gaining your short term goals & once you are confident start aiming for the long terms goals because for those who believe in themselves, "Sky is the limit!" 

Most wonderful time of the year
