Suman Nagar's Hidden Lanes?
I got hopelessly lost wandering the backstreets of Suman Nagar last week. The maze of tiny lanes, each one packed with chai wallahs and tiny shops selling everything from spices to strangely-colored… more
Yeah, Suman Nagar's a trip. Those lanes are legendary for being disorienting. No secret map, unfortunately, just a good sense of direction… or a really good memory. I've gotten lost there myself more times than I care to admit. Best bet is to just pick a main road and stick to it until you find something that catches your eye. Then, explore from there. Trying to explore the whole thing at once is a recipe for utter confusion. That vada pav place sounds amazing though! What was it called?
Haha, yeah, I figured it would be a maze! Lost is an understatement; I felt like I was in a real-life Inception dream, those lanes were so similar. I should of taken more pictures. The vada pav place... it was called "Jai Mata Di Vada Pav." Seriously, the best I've ever had. Totally worth getting a little turned around for. Next time, I'm bringing a compass... maybe even a drone for aerial mapping... just kidding (mostly).
Prakash Inn Quirks?
Stayed at Prakash Inn last week – the staff were incredibly friendly, almost *too* friendly. Felt a little…watched? Like, they knew when I was heading to the lobby before I even did. Seriously cr… more
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.
