Monisha Jaising indulges in her favourite desserts once a week during her cheat day.
Designer Monisha Jaising has a long, post-pandemic to-do list which includes meeting friends, swimming, travelling, among other things. The designer called her iPad as her favourite shopping destination.

Back in business:
I have a very long list of things I want to do once the pandemic is over. The first is to go for a run without a mask. Next, I want to visit all the bazaars and fabric shops, meet up with friends, go swimming and travel. Among other things!


Destinations in demand:
In India, I would like to visit Goa or Rajasthan. St Tropez has always been my favourite holiday spot; London too as I studied fashion there.

Pamper perfect:
I am looking forward to a relaxed swim followed by a 2 hour body massage!

I am really looking forward to visiting my local bhel puri wala at Pali Hill.

Shop spot:
My favourite shopping destination is my iPad as I am a great on line shopper. I am waiting for international couriers to open up more and I then will buy myself a pair of glasses I have been eyeing at Oliver Peoples.

Level up:
I have been WFH on my iPad with all my old headphones but I do have my eyes on the new iPad Pro. Whilst I did not buy any new tech stuff I bought loads of new cooking equipment - iron skillet, grilling pans, baking tins, cook books and lots more.

Fitness fad:
My sons own a gym; they are my fitness gurus and programme a weekly work out for me which I follow religiously they also give me a diet plan and a cheat day weekly to binge on my favourite desserts. It’s tailor made for my age weight and lifestyle so I am lucky and sorted. When it comes to down time, what would I have done without Netflix and Amazon Prime!

“I decided to use this opportunity to improve my physical conditioning. I started cycling (after more than 40 years) inside my gated community from mid-April. I went from seven kilometres per ride to 20 kilometres by the end of June. Recently, I did a 52-kilometre ride to Chikka Tirupathi [on the outskirts of Bengaluru]. Cycling has had a huge impact, not just on my physical conditioning but also my confidence.”

Vineeta Singh, CEO, SUGAR Cosmetics

“Startups are quite demanding, so I’ve never been able to work out more than three days a week, even when I trained for the Ironman Triathlon. So, when the lockdown was announced, I decided to challenge myself with a ‘consistency goal’ of accomplishing a workout a day. It began with coordinated workouts on Zoom with my friends and as restrictions eased, I started going for outdoor runs. There were days when there would be so many calls that I’d be seen climbing the building stairs at 10 pm. I now have more than 100 days of workouts under my belt and it has been the biggest stressbuster.”

Greg Moran, CEO, Zoomcar

“During the lockdown, I have managed to master single-leg burpees. It’s important to have a defined schedule and stick to it. I ensure that I block out some time during the day for exercise. I work out at home daily with various bodyweight exercises — I do pushups, burpees and air squats. I love doing CrossFit and high-intensity interval training that combines weightlifting, aerobics, powerlifting and gymnastics.”
