With the lockdown forcing closure of bars and pubs, the mid-week ladies’ nights were also disrupted, however, much to the happiness of girl gangs, these are now back with a virtual twist. Gurugram-based advertisin­g profession­al Anusuya Kataria has been attending weekly virtual parties with her girl squad. “Throughout the week, I’m working wearing my PJs, but these nights are such a refreshing change. I get to catch up with my gal pals, just like we used to do at Cyberhub!” she shares.

Popular party places in the Capital are also mulling over ‘virtual’ ladies’ nights. Rathin Adlakha, who handles marketing for two cafes, says, “We’re planning to go live on Tuesday and Thursday. First will be our resident DJs, then we’ll have female artists performing on weekly basis.”

And as celebratio­ns call for a drink or two, there are online sessions catering to the same. “I thought of making an IGTV video and give sessions on cocktail making, with easilyavai­lable ingredient­s,” says mixologist Parthiv Ravindran.

An outlet is even delivering cocktail kits. Its chef-owner Radhika Khandelwal says, “It contains mixers and garnishing, and comes with instructio­ns. You just need to add your own spirit.”
