So, what’s your weekend plan?
No matter your vibe, artsy, bookish, party-loving, or cafe-hopping, something is happening in Delhi this weekend for everyone. So skip the mindless scrolling and do something for the soul.
And hey, even if you just end up at a book fair or sipping coffee alone, it’s still a win. Because weekends like these don’t need to be grand, they just need to be relaxing.
