Editor's Pick: Weekend Edition
As we slowly start moving back to the ‘old normal,’ it is now time to make a clear distinction between the working week and the weekend. Work-from-home situations often meant that there was no line drawn between the working and non-working hours. Each week, Team Edition (and but mostly me) will put together a list of things-to-do over the weekend. So, you don’t have to waste the weekend wondering what to do and get planning a wonderful weekend. Okay, I think I may have used up my W allowance for the week.
Eat:
The Patio @ Dolmen Mall Clifton
With indoor dining set to begin from 15th March, these are the last few days of alfresco dining left. In fact, if you are reading this in Karachi, those days are already over, given the sweltering heat. Personally, I am a big fan of The Patio set up by Dolmen Mall Clifton. Located at the front of the mall, one side is dedicated to the food court eateries and the other to restaurants. Pro-tip: Do not order food that needs to be eaten piping hot, because they bring a couple of orders together all the way from the food court on the second floor. My favorite is Mirchilli and McDonalds (no judging, please).
Do:
Watch ‘Crime Scene: Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel’ and Night Stalker: The Hunt for Serial Killer
If you have a thing for true, gruesome crimes that are eerily creepy, then both these docu-series are for you. ‘Crime Scene: Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel’ traces the case of the disappearance of 21-year-old Canadian student Elisa Lam. Produced by Ron Howard, the docu-series will keep you hooked. The series references The Night Stalker - a serial killer, pedophile and rapist who terrorised Los Angeles in the mid 1980s. The terror factor with this one is higher than Ted Bundy. Both docu-series are on Netflix.
Buy:
So Kamal Lawn Sale
With a whooping upto 70% off, this is one of the best clearance sales I have come across thus far. There is a range of fabrics to choose from including lawn and linen - totally wearable in the summer. There is also a lot of diversity in the color palette of the collections with a lot of festive black outfits to choose from. I have literally ordered six black ‘joras’ from the sale. Also giving them props for a super prompt delivery. I was even asked to check if the products were fine before paying. The sale is both online and in-stores. However, there are no So Kamal stores in Karachi.
