When I wake up...
on Sundays, the first thing on my mind is to go bowling, as it���s my favourite sport. I go bowling whenever I get a day off.
I prepare myself...
a nice heavy breakfast comprising fruits, cereals, pancakes and then call up my friends to check what their plans are.

Most of my friends...
here in Mumbai are Brazilian models who I met only after I moved here. They come over every weekend and we hang out together.
I love cooking...
so whenever my friends are over, I try my hand at different Italian bakes.
I���m not a gym girl...
but I���ve recently started taking yoga lessons.

Easy-listening...
is the genre of music that works for me on Sundays. So, I go for Ben Harper or some Jazz or Western Classical tracks.
Volleyball...
is a sport I used to enjoy playing back in Brazil and still do, whenever my friends are game for it. As a kid, I enjoyed playing football with my brothers but now they���re bigger than me, so I���d rather not challenge them in that game.
I love reading...
when I���m alone. When I���m reading, I get so involved that I lose track of time. I remember being up till 4 am, reading The Kite Runner, crying to myself...
I love talking...
so when friends come over for Sunday lunch, we end up chatting through the afternoon and they often end up sleeping over too.
I���ve always wanted...
to learn to play the guitar and the piano. I never did it as I was travelling a lot. Now I can use my weekends for this. I want to learn dancing too. I only know the Brazilian samba.
We play cards...
only when we���re very bored. There are many card games which are popular among Brazilians ��� I don���t know their English names.
I���m not a party girl...
so my idea of a lovely Sunday evening would be going bowling, then for a quiet dinner. I love sushi. Also, I prefer conversation to loud music over dinner.
My ideal Sunday...
ends with a call to my parents. I tell them what I did,where I went. And they say I���m going too fast and I should slow down. Then I call my boyfriend, whose day would���ve just begun as there���s an eight-hour time difference between Brazil and India.
