How to make the most of Amdavad’s monsoons

Grab a cuppa
When it pours, Amdavadis instinctively reach for that steaming cutting chai, the city’s official beverage. You could curl up in your cozy lounger by the window and watch the rain lash against the panes or alternatively, you could go down to the nearest café or kitli for cappuccino or kadak meethi masala chai. Rains and comforting hot beverages are meant to be.
Go mall hopping
It’s the perfect time to become a mall rat.With whopping discounts pouring in at the retail outlets, it’s the best time to give your wardrobe a monsoon makeover.
Get colorful
With the world around you drenched in grey and blue, you can colour the town with splashes of vibrant hues too. Get those bright yellows and reds out of your wardrobes and flaunt those beautiful umbrellas. It’s time to get those shorts and skirts out, so you don’t have to lumber around with wet pants.
Spa-cial comfort
Cheer yourself up in this gloomy weather with a relaxing spa package and pamper your skin with some serious TLC. Pick a spa that’s located in natural environs, so that you can enjoy the rain in the most serene way. A hot oil massage accompanied with herbal tea could be pure bliss.
Long drive pe chal
Hop on your two wheeler or go cycling — get muddy, and wet with your friends and family. Rains and long drives are the perfect twosome. Pick some good music, wear your snuggiest outfit and head out to the open, wet roads. Carry a picnic hamper of your favourite goodies with you. For a heads up, the roads to Gandhinagar are lined with vendors selling lip-smacking corn. You could even pack some hot chocolate or coffee flask and head to the Riverfront, (warning note: but be prepared for big crowds).
Foodilicious
Bhajiyas, dalwadas, hot fudgy brownies, wholesome soups, deliciously hot pasta or stews — the list of food you can indulge in when it pours is endless! Cheat on your diet plan and dig into all the wonderful monsoon treats.
Finish that book, write a blog, watch a movie, cook up a culinary storm — it’s the best time to do everything indoorsy. Go ahead, and get wet and wild this monsoon.
