Regardless of the day of the week, or time of day, Delhi is a city that does not believe in stopping, halting or resting. So suffice it to say, the residents end up embodying this fast pace, ignoring when their body and mind start to show signs of needing rest.
If off late, you've been feeling over-worked, over-stressed or all in all, over-whelmed by life at large, it's time you took out a day for yourself, and just for yourself. The value of a rejuvenating self-care day is often underestimated, but believe me, one such day can tremendously help you in dealing with everything that life throws at you subsequently.
To help you focus on yourself, instead of hunting for the ideal unwinding place in Delhi, here's a round-up of 15 spots you can safely head to for an invigorating self-care day!
