What: Get a professional Facebook profile picture for free, The Piano Man, Basant Lok Market, Vasant Vihar, call 9899264224.

Why: Everyone’s tired of your duck-face selfies, so we suggest you let Vinay Aravind take over and make you look like your best self, filters not included. We’ve written about Vinay before, when he was travelling around the country and taking photos of people, and now he’s making Sunday about you and your profile picture. The same rules apply: you own the image, but not exclusive rights to it, as a “payment” you leave it watermarked and tag his page.  Take props, a friend, and for the love of God, leave the fish lips to Angelina Jolie.  (PS: Here's our review of The Piano Man to jog your memory).

When: Your morning papar(azzi) on Sunday, April 14, 11 am to 6 pm.

Should we skip the routine where we ask you what you're doing this Saturday and you pretend to go through your schedule?

Come hang at Blue Frog, where music and art festival Area 79 will play out from 2 pm until midnight. Here you'll find four stages - the Live, Techno, Psy and Chill Area - featuring 40 artists including Ska Vengers, Sky Rabbit, The Midivil Punditz, B.L.O.T and others.

Meet the Coupers

Then there'll be those festival staples - flea market, food stalls and a massage booth (to go with the Chill Area?) - that could be yawn-inducing for some. But before you gravitate towards sleep, let us tell you that the bpb team will be at Area 79! Come say hi at the flea market and we'll wake you up with the smell of freshly brewed discounts. We'll be there, pimping our newly launched Coup Card that gets you 15% off at Delhi's best bars and restaurants (see full list on www.coupcard.in). And it's just Rs 200 a month (for six months)!

How do you buy it? All you have to do is visit our Area 79 booth and we'll sign you up for it online (pay using your debit/credit card) or pay us cash.

You no longer need to pretend check your  schedule do you?

Getting there: Area 79 on Saturday, April 13 from 2 pm onwards, view the Facebook event page here, entry is Rs 800 from 2-7 pm,
Rs 1,400 from 7 pm onwards, Rs 2,000 from 10 pm onwards.
