Bhubaneswar, Aug 7:

Have not made any special plans yet and Friendship Day is already upon you? Worry not! Odisha Sun Times has a few suggestions to offer, just in case you need help:

  1. Friendship Day Carnival in cafeterias

If you and your gang are foodies, have cafeterias with special Friendship Day offers, freebies, games and activities. Bhubaneswar based cafe and gaming lounge Chill Umm has a fun evening planned for all its patrons. Likewise, if you are music buff, a music carnival titled NEXUS 5.0 is currently underway at Janata Maidan in Odisha capital has brought together DJs and music artists on a single platform and promises to be a one of a kind music fest.

2. Popcorn time

Even though, going for movies is oh-so-ordinary thing to do today, the theaters have some must-watch movies lined up for today. From Budhia Singh's biopic to the Matt Damon- starrer Jason Bourne of you are in mood for an action thriller, it's not too late to book the tickets, yet!

3. Pamper the gang

This option is not just for the ladies! Boys can have their share of fun as well. Book an appointment in the saloon for a refreshing spa date with your besties or a relaxing champi (head massage) with the boys and get set to beat the Monday blues tomorrow.

4. Miles to go...

It looks like the weather is in a mood too. And is perfect for a road trip to escape the hustle-bustle of the capital city. Gather your gang and fill in your petrol tanks for that much-needed break from the mundane routine. With your buddies by your side and the wind on your face, hit the emotional "reset" button.

5. No place like home

And if you want to laze around in the comfort of your home, invite your friends over and catch-up over steaming cups of tea and crunchy pakodas. There is nothing cozier than watching your favourite telly shows and movies with the gang at home. Add to that a sleepover and bingo! You have a pyjama party.
