NCR swaps hangovers for high-energy morning raves
NCR opts to go for morning raves
It's Saturday night, but instead of hunting for an evening party outfit, you're prepping for an 8am Sunday morning rave. Morning raves have recently become the latest way to unwind and socialise on weekends.
The idea of waking up on a Sunday, going for a community run or workout, and then diving into coffee and croissants while vibing to techno beats is becoming increasingly appealing to Delhiites.
'Unlike night parties, morning raves are easygoing, and positive'

Sharing why the concept of morning raves is becoming popular, Arjun Radhakrishnan, founder of The Window Seat – a cultural experience curator, says, 'Many people in metro cities like Delhi, Bengaluru and Mumbai want to engage in community-forward activities, which is a major factor contributing to the rise of morning raves.
People between the ages of 25 and 45 are chasing real conversations, genuine connections, and which isn't available in a club.

At picnic raves, like this one organised by The Window Seat & Kaunversations in Bengaluru, people come together early in the morning to engage in activities while 2000s classics and new-age grooves set the party mood
Sarthak Batra, founder and head mixologist at Ikigai, says, 'The appeal of these parties lies in having the whole day ahead of you, with none of it lost to recovery. These events tend to be crowded yet energetic, filled with like-minded people looking to enjoy themselves in a relaxed, intentional way.

Unlike night parties, where overdrinking can lead to chaos or fights, morning parties are generally easygoing, cheerful and positive.
The mood is light, and people are just there to have a good time - it's a happy, high-energy environment.' He adds, "People want to avoid the downsides of late-night partying – hangovers, poor sleep, and wasted mornings. These events allow them to wake up early, accomplish something active, like a run, and then enjoy a guilt-free social gathering."
'Focus is more on hydrating, energising'
Given the clubbing environment in the city, and the fact that 'a real party' starts late at night, morning raves are a better option. You get to see the people you are vibing with, plus no tension of getting home before curfew hours

'Focus is more on hydrating, energising'
These sober, high-energy mornings are redefining how people party and when they party. 'Interestingly, food isn't a major priority, even when there are hundreds of attendees. At many early morning raves, people hardly touch the food. The focus is more on drinks that are hydrating and energising,' shares Sarthak.
Arjun adds, 'Non-alcoholic experiences like 8am coffee raves, picnic raves, have been proving to be fun events to socialise.
People are more curious in these third space-like settings, prompting them to make deeper connections with others. These events are designed to reenergise people, it refreshes you rather than exhausting. As much as people would like to relax on a Sunday, a morning rave helps you detach from the week's baggage - in a non-judgmental, fun environment.
People choose to enjoy these drinks or coffee.'
Gen-Z is gravitating towards non-alcoholic experiences
We are organising morning parties at coffee shops as it helps in doing away with the stereotype of EDM music is only for clubs. At morning raves, people truly feel the beats. So, DJs are joining the wave of these wellness-focused morning parties

Clubbing community activities with morning parties
Most of the raves are follow-ups of community runs or workout sessions. 'To cater to the younger crowd, that's prioritising fitness, also leaving alcohol, we are clubbing community runs with morning raves and social mixers over coffee. Many of us don't want to go clubbing to socialise anymore. It makes more sense to socialise over coffee post our runs. It's a hit and is here to stay,' says Manraj Singh, co-founder, Delhi Run Collective (DRC), which meets for runs at parks across Delhi.

Check how Shilpa Shetty celebrated International Day of Yoga
Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty is a fitness enthusiast who practices yoga to stay healthy and happy. As the nation celebrated International Day of Yoga on Saturday, the 'Dhadkan' star took to Instagram and explained the significance of including yoga in our daily life. "When we have just ONE of something, we MUST value it. This year's theme is Yoga for one earth, one is the key to maintaining the equilibrium between mind, body and soul. Health.. Let's value it, earn it and preserve it not just for ourselves but for the benefit of our entire ecosystem #InternationalYogaDay #YogaforSelfandSociety #SwasthRahoMastRaho #FitIndia #YogaforOneEarthOneHealth," she wrote. Shilpa also shared a video of her performing several yoga asanas. Earlier, Malaika Arora visited Gurugram to participate in a yoga session. Speaking to ANI, Malaika described yoga as "very instrumental" in her life and shared how it has helped her both mentally and physically over the years."I would like to say I would give a lot of credit to my genes, but yoga has been very, very instrumental in shaping a lot of my life. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Speel gratis in je browser – Geen download of installatie nodig! Taonga Farm Nu afspelen Undo I feel that practicing on my mat genuinely makes me happy; it centers me, it gives me focus-- all of that. So yes, I would give a lot of credit to yoga in my life. " Malaika went on to share her thoughts on stress in everyday life and how yoga helps her stay balanced. Addressing the increasing mental pressure in today's world, she said, "Life is full of stress," and yoga can help anyone-- not just public figures-- find calm and focus."I feel it has nothing to do with being a public figure. Everybody, on a daily basis, deals with a lot, whether you're a public figure, a housewife, or someone working a 9-to-5 job. We all deal with physical or mental issues on a daily basis. Life is full of stress," Malaika told ANI. "Unfortunately, we are surrounded by situations. There's so much stimuli around us, phones being one of them. Every day, looking at phones and being on social media causes a lot of anxiety and stress. So, I think people today should find ways to de-stress, whatever it may be-- whether it's being outdoors, doing yoga, swimming, or meditating. Find that one activity that works for you, and make time for yourself to de-stress and love yourself," she added. The open-air event was hosted in a peaceful setting, something Malaika said enhanced the experience. (ANI)
