An all girl’s squad is absolute fun, believes Bengaluru hudugis. That feeling of letting your hair down and not trying to impress anyone is the best. A survey by the University of California states that women are at their best when they go out and meet friends frequently.

The study also says that gossip and social interactio­n can help bring out that radiance hidden inside. So, a fun night of gossip, banter and girlie stuff can actually make you function sane at work!

We caught up with some pretty girls from the city to understand their definition of an all girls gang. While some believed it is fun a few others expressed how important their girl’s days out are!

Priya Gattani, manual tester in a company believes that spending time with her girlfriend­s definitley boots her mood! She says, “I feel free and can openly put forth my thoughts when I’m with my girl gang. Women’s Day this year was all about girls from work, yummy food and gossip! We had the time, of our lives. We can experience an awesome conversati­on with like-minded people and that is my girl gang. Come weekend we sweat it out on the dance floor, and binge on our favourites to maintain the balance. We also indulge in shopping and have mini ramp walks beside the trial room.”

Tanusheree Dwiwedi, lead vocalist in a music bandshares that her girl gang is a blessing. “A very sub-set of people is my girl squad. I can instantly connect with people and few become friends for life. I ensure to meet the girls every once in a while and keep up with my long distant besties via video calls. The unconditio­nal love somethered by my girl besties is what keeps my spirits high. When I catch up with my squad we end up talking for hours about the top flicks released, books or we end up jamming to our favourite songs! The best plans are the spontaneou­s movie night sleepovers where pizza makes a special guest appearance.”

Meghna Vakada, restaurate­ur who prioritise­s friends over travel says, “My job in hospitalit­y sector also requires a lot of socializin­g and I end up making friends or meeting likeminded people. I ensure to take the friendship forward with fun meetings and hang outs. From human behavior, to our darkest fears, current affairs, movies or series that we watched and more, we speak about anything and everything under the sun!”

She also adds, “Stepping out of my mundane lifestyle and catching up with friends is always healthy for me. It rejuvinate­s me and helps me to open up when I have to talk about things. Different perspectiv­es around you will allow you to voice your perspectiv­e with confidence and even helps to find a solution. You will come out of any situation, which bothers you with the help of these girl gangs.”
