Summer sorted for chillar party

Representation Pic

To quote the beloved title sequence from Phineas and Ferb, the annual problem of the generation is to find a good way to spend our summer vacation. More often than not, we don’t even realize when two months go by and all we’ve done is sit glued to the television, or now, our phones. The sweltering heat only adds to this dilemma. Don’t fret; we at Sunday mid-day surfed through countless pages to make you the itinerary for the perfect summer in Mumbai based on your child’s preferences.
