Breaks are very important: Romiit Raaj

Baatein Kuch Ankahee Si actor Romiit Raaj says breaks are very important to refresh and rejuvenate. He feels the destination is not important, but breaking the monotony of life surely is.

“Breaks are very important. You need to unwind, not stress about work, enjoy homemade meals, and relax, or you can go for a nice short holiday where you enjoy spa treatments all day with nature around. It's sad to hear about young people having heart attacks because of stress. Be stress-free, declutter your life, don't compare yourself with anyone, and live in peace and harmony,” he said.

He is not one to make a plan and then think of executing it, for him, planning and execution of a break happen at the same time. He said, “I make plans the minute I have free time. We simply book flight tickets, and in less than 24 hours, we're out of the city. We enjoy shorter holidays and travel more frequently. I love to travel within India; I love my country, and I find people here very warm, caring, and always helpful.”

Romiit also pointed out that people are taking more holidays now than ever, and feel that it is a good change. Taking about his trips to Kolkata, he said, “We love to travel to Kolkata every summer vacation, where we meet our extended families. It's truly the City of Joy, where all of us cousins have a blast together. We play golf, swim together, and, of course, go horse riding at Victoria Memorial Ground.”

“I honestly feel vacations are the best time to travel, as kids also have holidays, and everyone wants to unwind after exams. This year, we are going to Thailand from Kolkata for an extended holiday, exploring a few islands that haven't been visited yet, and enjoying the local cuisine there. Nowadays, everyone wants to travel and believes in YOLO, so go travel, enjoy your life, have fun, and don't fear losing your job. You have your leaves, so plan accordingly. Take the leap and explore. You won't fall sick when you balance your life with travel, work, and a healthy lifestyle,” he added.

He is not a slave to his phone either, and he feels that it should be avoided when you are on vacation. “Mobile phones should be avoided as much as possible during the holidays. I hate how much time it consumes on a daily basis. I would rather spend more time reading books, playing guitar, and learning new skills. I leave my mobile phone in one corner of my house and only touch it when I receive a call,” he ended.
