We all love some lazy time where everything else is taken care of and all you have to do is relax. What makes it better is if you have beverages and food at your disposal without even having to lift a finger. And if all this is in a homely environment, it'll be perfection! When all these dreams lie shattered in recent times as you try to balance work, people and chores like a newbie juggler, we plant a seed of hope in this episode where Gauri talks to Devendra Parulekar about weekend homes and getaways.Devendra Parulekar is the founder of SaffronStays, a homestay rental service that has an inventory of beautiful private homes and villas for weekend getaways, celebrations and staycations, in various locations in Maharashtra.
