Hello Readers,

Let us take you back to your childhood days when you eagerly waited for summer vacations to kick in.

Apart from the boring and depressing activity of completing the school’s mandatory “holiday homework” we waited eagerly for the last day before our school closed for long 60 days and the last period’s bell marked our freedom.

“Abey ye school kaahe khatam nahi hota hai be?!”

I could sense the joy and nostalgia that you might be feeling right now!

We had so many things planned for the entire summer vacation starting from leaving home early in the morning to play our favorite sport with our friend’s to making plans to visit our cousins and spending quality time with them by doing nothing but just scrolling through Cartoon Network, Pogo, Animax and Disney XD.

Please be honest! Nobody touched books by choice until your mom forced you to ? Let us know in the comments section below!

Well, cut to 2021. Some man ate a bat, in some part of the world and now everyone is sitting home and reliving the “summer vacation” days even without realizing the same.

And with summers just around the corner, let us help you relive those childhood memories as we align a list of 4 “to-do” activities that you can do this summer season by sitting within the safety of your home, with your childhood buddies or cousins, whoever lives close by and can come over and beat the heat with you.

Brace yourselves for the sea of nostalgia that is about to drench you:

  1. Play FIFA or any other E Sport.

Well, it is still not safe for people to go out and do regular things like taking the field and kicking the football with your boots. But what one can do is challenge that arch enemy and settle that long rivalry once and for good. No redoes.

Meanwhile your opponent: “Controller nai chal raa tha mera!”

2. Learn something that you always have wanted to learn.

As kids, we aspire to learn music, dance, martial arts, painting and so, on. Well, now is the time my friend. It is time that you combine all the forces of nature to give you the strength and motivation to set your mind in the right direction so that you can you have and additional skill to add in your book of life.

“Aaj toh Kun-Faya-Kun baja kar hi saans lunga”

Sneak peek into my life, I always wanted to learn multiple musical instruments and never was able to get past the drums. This lock down I got myself a guitar and … And it is lying in one corner of the room and by the looks of it, it is disappointed in me! Well, at least I tried!

3. Relive memories by watching old photos and videos.

In the fast paced life of ours, we have missed out on various occasions for example our parent’s anniversaries, best friend getting married, yourself becoming a parent and moments that we might have witnessed but they have faded away and we wish to relive those again.

And what better a way, than gathering everyone around in the family and juggling through those old photographs and giggling over those old snaps and videos.

Full “Hum Saath Saath Hain” vibes!

4. Binge watching any and all content (Kyunki khaali time mei aur karein kya?)

I know a lot of people are already binge watching a lot of shows lately and are doing it alone. (Akele akele acche shows dekhna paap hai… recommend karo hume bhi by sliding into our DM’s on our instagram handle @Strippyapp)
Yes, so where was I? Oh yes, recommend shows and movies that you are watching lately and discussing that plot on Discord. And we will trade our playlist too. Promise!

Gone to grab some popcorn, be right back!

So that pretty much sums up the to-do list of activities that we recommend for you to do. But I also believe that knowledge is good if it flows both ways. So like we said, slide in our DM’s and let us know what you do or will be doing to keep yourselves entertained while sitting at home.

And what we will make sure is that people are never too busy to smile and laugh.

Rest, for all the exciting stuff to read and share with people you can download the app from Playstore and Appstore and keep spreading love and laughter. And for regular updates, you can follow us on Instagram (@strippyapp) and on our Twitter handle (@StrippyApp).
