When everyone is enjoying their weekends, it is usually my time to work. Since I don8217;t have a nine-to-nine job, I don8217;t need to escape from the rut. I am a singer and many of my programmes fall on a Saturday or a Sunday evening. So, during the week, whenever possible, I take in a movie or an outing. You could say my weekend really comes at the middle-of-the-week. We decide in a jiffy and rush off to a theatre. Sometimes, my schedule is quite packed with arranging for the programmes.
But if I can spare more than a couple of days, I beat a retreat to Mahabaleshwar during the rains. The road is motorable and along with some friends we drive down. Mahabaleshwar is beauty personified in the monsoon.
The scenic beauty is simply breath-taking. I simply put my feet up and relax. Or, sometimes I go to Mulshi lake with a group of friends. I also spend as much time with the family as possible. That can be refreshing. I take my mind of the tension . And anyway, music itself is relaxing. That8217;s my idea of a weekend retreat.
