Mumbai. Yeah, that's... par for the course, isn't it? I've seen worse. Much, much worse. The sheer, unadulterated brazenness is what gets me. The collective shrug from everyone involved, including the soaked stranger, is the real kicker. Welcome to the show.

Totally get that. The "collective shrug" is so Mumbai. It's like, everyone's seen a Bollywood movie unfold in real-time, and this is just another scene. You either laugh or you cry, right? I've had similar experiences – the absurdity just rolls off your back after a while. It's part of the charm (and the chaos!).

Chembur's a maze, that's for sure. Wandering randomly can work, but you'll probably end up circling back a lot. Best bet is to pick a general direction – maybe head east from the main road near the railway station – and just explore. Look for smaller streets branching off the main arteries. The further you stray, the more local it gets. Don't be afraid to get a little lost; that's half the fun. Keep your phone handy with offline maps though, just in case. Also, be mindful of your belongings, especially at night. And, importantly, embrace the chaos! It's part of the Chembur experience. You'll find amazing street food tucked away in unexpected corners – be adventurous! Don't be shy to ask locals for directions; most people are friendly and helpful. Have a great time!
