Spending your bank holidays

You can avoid the same as on other days, you are constantly tormented by the traffic. If you are planning to go out of town during the public holidays in Delhi, the best thing would be to leave home early or late in the evening.

The other thing to do is to drive safely and with the utmost care. Remember that Delhi offers plenty to see for outsiders on a visit to the city. However, you need to take care of your choices and make your decision carefully when keeping that in mind.

Yoga is a great option to stay healthy. In Yoga, there are a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices. There are many schools and Yoga centres where you can go and learn it.

Three ways to spend your Bank Holiday in Delhi

It is essential to spend your bank holiday in Delhi productively if you have a lot of goals to achieve. Here are some tricks which you can use to avoid distraction and increase your efficiency.

Do your priority work: It is essential to do your priority work but on holiday you will be feeling lazy to do it. Push yourself and do and finish the priority work as early as possible so that you can plan or start other things. If you are stuck with this stuff, it will not be easy to start or finish your other work as you will not be having enough time.

Work Alone: Don't plan to work with a group. On holiday the chances are high that the plans may not work as expected as everyone will have their plans. So the best way to do things on a bank holiday in Delhi is to do the work alone.

Plan things: Planning things is one of the best things you can do on a bank holiday in Delhi.

As you will be in a rush on the other days, you may not find much time to plan everything.

What to do during bank holidays in Delhi and NCR

There are plenty of things that you could do during the bank holidays in Delhi and NCR. There are so many places of interest to see in Delhi, that you would never get tired. Within a few hour's drive, you can also go to Agra and visit the famous Taj Mahal. On the bank holiday in Delhi and NCR region, you can also just go about reading your favourite novel that you always wanted to.

However, the problem these days is that this kind of activity is hardly in vogues. Most individuals prefer getting glued to the TV or are busy with their mobile phones. It is time that we learn to spend the public and government holidays to the best, doing something more concrete. It would also be a good time to just spend the needed time with family and friends.

In such cases, you can either go out or spend some time dining or taking kids to a place that they like. The city of Delhi is a bustling place and there are so many options that you can choose from. This is much more than what other cities and towns in the country offer. If you have nothing to do, just do some charitable and notable causes that you always wanted to do in a place like Delhi, there are many options.

Paytm Gold vs. Gold Bonds

Recently Paytm started selling online gold where you can buy and sell gold. For promotional purposes, they began by giving an option where you can buy gold at Re. 1. The best thing about buying gold on Paytm is the time barrier. You can sell and as well as buy gold anytime on Paytm regardless of the trading hours. On behalf of the government of India Reserve Bank of India issues gold Bonds, it will be the safest place to keep your money.

Also, you will be getting some interest every six months which is fixed by the Reserve Bank of India. The best thing about both Gold Bonds and Paytm is is no need to pay extra charges such as making charges, etc. All you have to pay is the gold rates in Delhi on that day.

The gold prices in Delhi have changed because of various reasons. So, having the flexibility of selling it whenever you will be a good option and going for Paytm gold will be wise. But when it comes to security gold bonds will stand in the first place. One more good option about Paytm gold is we can convert gold in your wallet into physical form, and that will be door delivered. But there will be charges which do not include gold rates in Delhi.

Does a Public Holiday and a Bank Holiday in Delhi mean the same?

No, a public holiday and a bank holiday in Delhi will not mean the same thing. There is some difference between these two.

If we see a bank holiday, it means the day when the bank will not work. If we see April 1 of every year is a bank holiday for only banks, not any other public or private sector institutions or organizations have a holiday on this day in Delhi. Even if we see for the second and fourth Saturdays, it is a bank holiday in Delhi.

Governmental organizations have a holiday on the second Saturday. Private companies may or may not have a holiday on this day. If we take festivals such as Christmas, Ramadan or Holi. It will be a holiday for every public and private sector firm. Such type of holidays come under public holiday in Delhi.

If it is a holiday in Delhi, then individuals will have plenty of options to plan a getaway or visit relatives' houses, or if you are from a different city or state you can plan to visit your hometown and use the holidays smartly.

Remember, that if holidays are bunched together you have a better possibility.

Plan a short trip during a public holiday in Delhi?

The main purpose of the holiday is to get a break from the daily work we do and the best way to use a holiday is by going on a trip. For the residents of Delhi, there are some options to plan a short trip during a government holiday. Here we are giving a few options which you can plan to visit during a bank holiday in Delhi.

Achrol: One of the best places to visit with family and friends. This is a hill station in Rajasthan.
