IN cities, sizeable numbers of youth spend their weekend at web cafes browsing the Net.
However in rural areas, youth engage themselves in social forum.

WEEKENDS provide a welcome break from the routine.
People staying away from home visit their kith and kin.
One also gets time to attend to personal work.
In any case, one comes back with a refreshed mind for work after a weekend.

WEEKEND fun is a Western concept promoted through media like Television and films.
Most of them fail to plan it well and end up spending more.

PARENTS and children talk to each other about the activities of the past week at leisure only during the weekend.
This helps is bridging the communication gap within family members.

YOUNGSTERS team together and have great fun during weekends.
Students will be engaged in finishing their pending assignments. Some race around the city in their two-wheeler and check out fast foods at wayside hotels.

APART from fun youth should also involve themselves in social awareness programmes and spend weekends in a useful manner.
As a team, they can join and collect funds to help the downtrodden and economically backward people.

UNLIKE in the past, today students have a variety of options to spend their weekend.
Apart from movies, sports, browsing and visiting friends, they also go on short picnics to nearby getaways.
Some resort to just sleep.

AFTER a hectic schedule on weekdays, it has become necessary to allocate weekends for relaxation.
But, instead of providing the much-deserved break, weekends are also crammed with activities like tuition tests, music and dance class.
For a change, youngsters can form a group and involve in activities like tree planting.

THE youth should try to strike a balance (between entertainment and family).
Apart from sports activities and entertainment, they should visit places of worship and spare some quality time for the family.
