Love in the time of a pandemic
Valentine’s Day is here and it is a day dedicated to celebrate your loved ones. Today is the day that you can unabashedly spoil, shower and express how much you love someone without others being cynical about it. In a way to recognise the turbulent year that one has had to go through with an ongoing pandemic, it seems apt to try and do something different this Valentine’s Day –to do something special to celebrate your significant other (all while keeping safe).
A movie date under the stars
Watching a movie at a cinema has always been a safe first date idea and for Valentine’s Day watching a movie together usually takes couples down memory lane. However with current restrictions and safety guidelines, most theatres are not functioning. This is where Reel Colombo comes in.
Wanting to give the public a taste of night life again but in as safe manner as possible, Reel Colombo is a co-streaming space where couples, friends, and families can come and enjoy their favourite movies while getting a chance to spend time together in a personalized teepee.
Reel Colombo will be hosting a small socially distanced event where couples can sit in their teepees (each six feet apart) and enjoy a meal while watching a classic romance film! To see and understand their concept better or even make a reservation, check them out on Instagram: @reelcolombo
A picture is worth a thousand words
Artistic or not, a creative way to spend time with your significant other is to paint something that commemorates your love story. Tipsy da Vinci host events where amateur artists (even ones who have never picked a brush up in their lives) are taught step-by-step how to paint by a professional artist while enjoying each other’s company along with food and drinks.
They have private packages ranging from Rs. 3,500 to Rs. 5,500 which can be done in the comfort of your home or they can provide a venue for the event. Some of the private packages also include a cheese platter and wine of your choice.
They used to have a monthly public event but due to the current situation in the country they do these events virtually. Their first virtual event was held in January in partnership with Supreme Flora where participants painted a flower arrangement organised by Supreme Flora.
Tipsy da Vinci’s provide all the art supplies from paint, canvases, easels, paint brushes, aprons and palettes for every event. For more information on them and their packages, check them out on Instagram @tipsydavincis
