Walking into a room where you know nobody is scary for about ten minutes. After that it’s often the best part of the week.

These are plans where showing up alone is completely normal. Sip Club and Clubbing with Strangers are made for it. If drinks aren’t your thing, there’s pickleball on a Sunday morning, a ladies’ brunch table in Indiranagar and a game of Mafia in Whitefield.

You can see who’s on the guest list before you go. Free plans just need a confirmed spot, and paid ones you can book on the web.

Pick one thing this week. You’ll know at least one person by the end of it.
