If you’d rather have a more composed day at home, Priti
Turakhia of The Kabir Community of Mumbai will tap in a network of folk
musicians all over the country and help organise at-home satsangs and concerts
at a week’s notice. Imagine Prahlad Singh Tipanya and Mukhtiar Ali performing
Kabir and Sufi music in your living room as it rains outside. “Home concerts
create a more intimate rapport between the musician and audience and makes for
a great experience,” she says. CONTACT: Priti Turakhia on prititurakhia22@gmail.com
SWEET ENDINGS
You don’t even have to get off the
couch for dessert. Pooja Dhingra of Le 15 Patisserie will bring over her
dessert prowess and set up a dessert station. She did it for fashion
entrepreneur Radhika Dhawan’s super hero-theme birthday party. “Dhingra came
over and prepared a bunch of cookies with Superman and Batman logos, along with
yummy cupcakes!” says Dhawan.

Parties aren’t the only reason you
should have lovely things ordered in. Brown Paper Bag has their own BPB Box,
within which lie fancy desserts. Subscribe, and for a monthly fee, they’ll send
it over Swiss rolls, macarons and more.

Or you could go really fancy with a
subscription to CVADO 1502 and get gourmet boutique chocolate from across
Europe delivered regularly to your doorstep. Jyoti Gwalani, a CVADO member,
says she and her family love exploring what’s inside every new box they get.
“The best part is that the box temperature is maintained so that the treats
inside don’t melt but render the chocolate as it is meant to be,” she says.

treat, ring up Cake Walk at The Leela a couple of days before you’ll need the
cupcakes or a big chocolate cake. They deliver all across the city, and not too
many five-star hotels can match that claim.
