Priyanka Madnani, Co-founder of Easy To Pitch, would be rushing to the mountains. Going for complete body massage and aroma spas once the lockdown is lifted and things are normal again.
Travel tabs "I would do a solo holiday for sure. I would travel to Malaysia to do an underwater diving course. I travelled to Lonavala around November end," she says.
Pamper peace "A good hair and body spa treatment, it's such peace to your mind and so relaxing. During this lockdown, I have realised self-care is very important for both mind and soul," she shares.
Foodie flair "I cannot wait to travel to Mumbai, as I love the clubs and rooftop clubs there! One of my favourites is St. Regis for its food and DJ. There are many more that are my favourite in Delhi too. The thing I am missing the most is live music," she says.
Shopping spree "H&M for sure! I wish I would have purchased my new pair of shoes. For Diwali, I purchased some new ethnic wear that was on my mind," she says.
Tech toys "I bought a new MacBook air to make my life better. It has made my life so smooth and helped me to handle all tech issues well followed by a new noise smartwatch," she says.

Challenge care "I am a complete no makeup skill girl but in this lockdown, I purchased a lot of beauty stuff and learned doing makeup. I learned doing 50+ kind of eye makeup along. I learned the skill of using colours in better ways. I did the cooking, making so many baked items such as different types of cakes after learning from YouTube," she says.
Fitness fads "My walking routines got reduced, as I walked a lot at work during calls or while reaching the workspace. Yes, I did gain but still, I managed to have my Zumba routines to remain in shape and maintain the stamina in the lockdown," she shares.
"I do cardio to keep fit and stamina is very important to stay fit. Stretching in the morning is also good to stay active the whole day," she adds.
Hobby hacks "I love listening to music and reading blogs. Due to heavy workloads, I was not able to find time for the same but in this lockdown, I started taking out time to read new stuff to keep the mind fresh," she says.

Upbeat task "I dance on upbeat music. Attitude is something very important in this world or anybody would take you for granted. I listen to calm music or watch mandala art for mental wellness as it helps you to stay positive in all the stressful times," she says.
New wardrobe "I have worked really well to groom myself in all aspects whether it is having new attire, improving my wardrobe. I have started loving applying more and more beauty products on me, making homemade remedies to keep the glow maintained," she ends.

Yash Dongre Business head at House of Anita Dongre
“I have fine-tuned my baking skills. Although my wife Benaisha and I aren’t vegan, the rest of the house is. So, during the lockdown, vegan baking took centrestage. Benaisha makes the best chocolate mousse cake. It’s made with dates, almond flour and coconut milk — it’s a huge hit. I find baking therapeutic. It’s a precise activity where the outcome is as perfect as the work that goes into it. If you follow the instructions, the end result is good. I love that.”
