Passing by hawkers selling heart-shaped earrings, pendants, cards and roses in the train, we reach the Vikhroli railway station a day prior to the final leg of the week of love. The eastern suburb is home to the newest addition of art studios. This one, called The Mini Date, is unique for being openly and only love-centric.

Founded by 19-year-old Fenny Shethi and 23-year-old Dhyan Shah, this is the duo’s second venture after their The House Of Neon (an art jamming studio in Ghatkopar) became a haunt for expression among the youth. This one, which is only 10 days old, is already almost booked till next month. While we were keen to try the cookery session (R5,500 per couple), a two-hour-long cooking workshop, it was booked for the entire day. So, we opt for the next most recommended workshop — the art session (Rs 3,000 for a couple, Rs 1,500 for one). For this hour-long session, you can choose any two forms of art from candles making, soap making, Greek pot painting, fluid art, textured art, alcohol ink, tote bag painting and raisin art.
