1. Road Trip

The weather has taken a turn for the good. So, if you have fuel in your tank, call up your friends and take a road trip. You can choose a destination based on the amount of time you have. Pick a destination, map it on Google and you’re good to go. Make some Dil Chahta Hai style memories.
2. Dinner for Two

Stop procrastinating and make some plans. There are always those friends we “intend” to get together with and those food joints we are longing to try. Turn those intentions into action and make some phone calls. Catching up with a good friend over a scrumptious meal…what more could you ask for?
3. Volunteer

Nothing will bring you greater joy than giving joy to others. There are countless NGOs out there that could always use some extra help. So whatever your interests or talents you can surely find a place where you can help out. A quick search on the net should give you a good starting point or else any local Church, Mandir, Mosque or Gurudwara can undoubtedly use your help.
4. Take Lessons

We all have a list of things we would like to learn someday, be it guitar, painting, driving, cooking, swimming, etc. Why not let that “someday” be today? If you do not start, you will never be able to learn and that dream of being the next rockstar will remain just a dream. These days you can find information for academies and private lessons at almost any market. Or if you have friends with kids, they often have information about good tuitions in the area.
5. Start Gymming

After all of those festival sweets, we have all gained a few unwanted pounds. We need, to get into better shape. Find a gym nearby with the facilities you are looking for and sign up. If you can find a gym partner you will be twice as likely to be regular because you can motivate one another. And we all know that motivation to actually get into the gym is half the battle.
6. Reading is Fun

When is the last time you read a good book? You may think you are not much of a reader, but give it a try. Ask friends for recommendations and perhaps to even borrow their favorite novel and find a comfortable spot to curl up and begin reading. Reading is great exercise for your imagination and can transport you to far away lands, away from the day to day tensions of today.
7. Join the Neighborhood Kids

If you have nieces and nephews or kids in the neighborhood, join them for a game of whatever they are playing. Playing with kids can always be great fun. And the kids will adore you for it. But just be prepared for some noise, laughter and to get dirty.
8. Make a Phone Call

Call up a friend you haven’t talked to in ages. Catching up and reminiscing old times is always like magic. You will never know where the time went. What are you waiting for? The number is in your contact list.
9. Go for a Long Drive

We previously suggested a road trip, but if you would rather prefer some solitude, then just pick up the keys and take off for a few hours. Just start driving and see where the road will take you. Turn on some music to enhance the mood.
10. Become a Tourist

Grab a camera and go exploring in your own city. Pretend like your a tourist and seeing things for the first time. Be curious. Explore. You never know what you will find.
11. Throw a Party

Yes, your place might be a mess and you have no food in the house. No worries. Be spontaneous. Call up some friends. Throw the mess in one room. Order some pizzas. Turn on some music. Have yourself a party, my friend.
12. Tidy Up Your Place

Now this may not seem like fun. But you can make it fun. Turn on some music or a good movie and dance around while picking up things. And you can even set yourself a goal and a reward for when you are done. At the end, not only will you have a cleaner living space, but you will feel a sense of satisfaction because you accomplished a task you have been putting off for so long.
So…what are you waiting for? Get off your chair and start spicing up your life!
