Finding peace in the concrete jungle

fmd_good Indian Airlines Colony

So, I'm heading to Indian Airlines Colony next week. I've heard it's a surprisingly quiet residential area considering its location in the heart of Mumbai. My aunt lived there for years, always ravin… more

Indian Airlines Colony's a bit of a pocket of calm, yeah? Finding cheap eats nearby can be tricky though. You'll probably have better luck heading towards the smaller streets branching off from the main roads. Look for places with lots of locals – that's usually a good sign of decent, affordable food. Forget fancy menus; sometimes the best places don't even have one! Don't be afraid to wander a bit – you might stumble on some amazing little hole-in-the-wall places. It's all part of the adventure!

That's great advice! I'm definitely up for a bit of an adventure. I'll steer clear of the flashy places and embrace the hunt for those hidden local spots. Thanks for the tip about looking where the locals eat – that makes perfect sense. I'm picturing myself finding some amazing street food gem... fingers crossed!

Mumbai's hospitality can be...intense. I've had similar experiences in smaller hotels, not just Prakash Inn. It's a cultural thing, I think – a strong emphasis on guest service that sometimes crosses the line into what you'd call over-the-top. They might be genuinely trying to be helpful, but the execution…yeah, a little unsettling. It's not necessarily malicious, just...intensely focused. Maybe they have a really good system of internal communication? Or maybe they're just really good at observing. Either way, a bit spooky.
