Mothers spend most of their time working, and not thinking of taking a break. This is where we come in. Here are some cool things you can do to make her day special. Check it out!
Mum's The Word: Fun Activities To Do With Mom Around The City
For The Perfect Afternoon
Head to the Taj Mahal Tea House in Reclamation, Bandra West, to enjoy a gazillion kinds of tea served in an old school Indian decor tea house. A haven for those who love chai and good company, it’s a great opportunity to spend with mom.
Price For Two: INR 1,700
Pamper For Two, Please
Mom deserves a massage, and you know that. Keeping that in mind, have a joint spa session with her to help her and yourself to a much-needed pampering session. Metta, a reflexology spa in Bandra offers foot reflexology run by a collective of visually-impaired individuals, Metta is a very different experience – the ambience was calm and unassuming (no frills) and the massage much more effective. Joanita, the owner has been running this hidden gem (they don’t do ads) for the past nine years.
Price: INR 400 for an hour of reflexology
Play Tourist In Your Own City
Filled with art, greenery and DIY kits, the Bhau Daji Lad Museum isn’t just a place to go to brush up your history; it’s a place to just spend time admiring what was once Bombay. And with mom by your side, you can give her a surprise by showing your love for history – something she probably struggled trying to do when you were in school.
Binging On Street Shopping
Browsing the streets of Mumbai, you can come across several trinkets that will define your connection with the city. With mom by your side, it’s an even better experience shopping. And what better way to do it than by visiting Colaba whose stores given us everything from good kohlapuri shoes, amazing junk jewellery, great clothes and more antique knick-knacks.
Dinner At Some Place Fancy
Always wanted to dine at the Taj but the high prices scared you away? Fear no more – the iconic Taj Mahal Palace hotel's restaurant Shamiana has reopened with a new menu and affordable prices. And yes, what a nice way to treat mommy dearest.
Price For Two: INR 2,500 (with drinks)
Go On A Mother-Daughter Vacay
With themed villas spread across a carpet of green, we love the private cottages they have on offer. Especially The Cocoon, one of their suites that is also an architectural marvel of sorts. With an arch-shaped window that overlooks a spectacular view, Amanzi is luxurious holiday goals and your mum deserves some pampering (at least on this day!)
Price For Two: INR 16,000 (for suites)
Tête-à -tête At Queen's Necklace
Life's super busy and sometimes out of the ten thousand things that we might want to tell our mothers, we end up saying just one and a half. Take mom to Marine Drive, and on reaching, take a stroll till the NCPA stretch of the Queen's Necklace. The sea, the breeze, and some chai might make you both introspect. Talk your heart out, or share some silence with her.
Sweet Endings At Apsara
Alphonso, guava, mosambi, and coconut, you name a fruit and you get it from Apsara Ice Cream. If your mum is an ice cream lover (who isn't?) then maybe a big bowl or tub of fresh ice cream will bring back sweet memories from your childhood. Cherish them, while you're at it with your A1 woman.
Price For Two: Under 500
