5 Pre-Cornona Things We Miss Doing That We Will Never Take For Granted Again

The current health crisis has put us all in a long slumber rendering us helpless for doing anything other than reminiscing about the good old days! When we were out and about, going to college or work, meeting BFFs for a gossip sesh date, going on a shopping spree and noshing on bun maska and chai whenever the mood struck!  We know folks, we know! This year is not gonna be the same, peeps, from friendly moments to some deep and personal experiences, we missed out on a lot of things. So here’s a list of all things we did pre-corona that we will never ever take again for granted!

Mumbaikars - remember those days when we were in a hurry, had no time for a meal and this kickass place used to be our knight in shining armour? Yes, we too miss gobbling up piping hot vada pavs at this famous and forever crowded vada pav stall in Mumbai. *drooling* Their irresistible Choor Pav will never go unnoticed again, isn’t it right, folks?

2. Sitting By The Marine Drive & Soaking It All In

Taking in the gorgeous view with wind in your hair and splashes of water in your face! Aah, Marine Drive! *dreamy eyed* We all just love to unwind, rest and soak it all in the city that never sleeps, ain't that the truth? The scenic and hypnotising view has time and again made all our worries melt away providing us peace and solitude, so how can we ever forget the breath-taking beauty of Marine Drive, peeps?

Going on long drives to Lonavala, Khandala and other nearby hill stations to get away from the hustle-bustle of the city and having the chance to take in the lush scenic greenery and fresh air at these has been every Mumbaikar’s most sordid pleasure! Due to the pandemic this year’s escapades won't be possible, y’all, *humph!* Oh how we miss the picturesque drives that await us! 

4. Getting Wet In The Rain As We Locally Travel

Mumbai’s heavy rains and knee-deep water clogged roads have become such an essential memory of our lives. We miss getting soaked, wading through the water to get back and forth and enjoying the occasional pakoda and scenic Bombay view as we are completely getting drenched! *sighs* The current health crisis forbids us to enjoy this soul-satisfying experience as we’ll be WFH and staying safe, the new normal, fellas! 

5. Haggling With Bhaiyas When We Are Out Shopping At Colaba Causeway

Who doesn’t love shopping? However online shopping doesn't come up to snuff with when we used to be out shopping for ourselves - which is a rollercoaster of trying out numerous things, buying goodies at affordable prices and tucking in delish grubs to replenish our energy as we indulge in some much-needed retail therapy, am I right or am I right, peeps? *wink wink* Yes, you guessed it right, we miss the carnival that is Colaba Causeway, haggling with adorable bhaiyas and having a blast with our squad at this bomb-ass market, and we know you do too! 

There are so many little things besides these that we miss doing, aren’t there, y’all? *Teary Eyed* So let us know in the comments below about the other things you’ve been missing doing during the current pandemic?
