1. Read books: Yes. There are lot of books available. Get out of E-books and read some real books..

2. Watch movie in theater: Give a break to youtube and torrents. Stop downloading flicks. Get out of your PC chair and move your butt to nearest theater. There are lot of good flicks coming these days..

3. Go for window-shopping: You don’t really need to spend money man. Just head to a mall and walk around all the shops there. Atleast 5 hours of full time pass guaranteed. {Tip: Avoid going to E-zone or Chroma. You will end up buying stuff for your PC again}.

4. Talk to “Real” friends: I hope you still remember there are some real life entities commonly known as human beings who talk like face to face without help of any messenger, e-mail or telephone. Go and meet them.

5. Attend lectures: Ya. I know that would be last thing to do. But hey, sitting on last bench and having some cool pranks isn’t that bad option either..

6. Take a nap: A power nap of 5 minutes or a complete cozy nap of couple of hours. All is well..

7. Go for a walk with your dear ones: Will work out especially in evening or early morning times. Pick up your phone. call your dear ones and ask them for a small walk along the road or even better walk along the nariman point or Carter road..

8. Cook and eat: If you are not a good cook, leave it to Nestle Maggi. Cook and enjoy your own cooking. Call over your friends if you are a good cook..

9. Travel without destination: My personal favorite. Just hop on to any bus and ask for a ticket to last stop. Get down at last stop and hop another bus. Continue till you get back to your home.

10. Attend a meet: There are lot of meets happening out you know. Startup Saturdays, barcamps, blogcamps, CouchSurfing meets. Go and attend these meets, meet some new people, learn new things. If no meet happening around, how about planning one?

11. Surf through newspaper: Specially something like Economic Times. These newspapers have lot of informative stuff which you otherwise won’t really get your hands on.

12. Have a ride: Got a bike..? Just step out of your house and have a ride from Colaba to Vasai and then take a power nap in the Vasai fort. Got no bike? Borrow from your friend or steal from neighbor.

13. Speak to customer Care Executives: Call up your mobile service provider’s Customer Care centre. Ask for all kind of new plans and schemes coming up in market. Call up bank’s Customer Care centre and ask for bank loans, their interest rates and payback conditions. Done with all Customer Care centres? How about calling up justdial and asking for random businesses?

14. Watch gully cricket: In Mumbai, you will have to just step out of your house and you will watch atleast 3 cricket matches live. Make the number 10 if you stay in East side of Western suburbs.

15. Think of what more you can do: I don’t need to explain. Do I…?
