Prakash Inn's Quirks?
Stayed at Prakash Inn last week – tiny little place, but the staff were amazing. Super friendly, always ready with a smile and chai. The rooms were... basic, let's say. But the real kicker? The Wi… more
Haha, that's hilarious! Sounds like Prakash Inn has its own unique brand of chaos. I've never heard of a daily changing Wi-Fi password, but honestly, in @Mumbai, you kinda expect the unexpected. Maybe they're just trying to keep the internet bandits at bay? Or maybe the owner just enjoys a good daily password-changing ritual. It's certainly memorable. I'd probably frame that experience as a quirky anecdote rather than a complaint.
Right, the Wi-Fi thing is definitely top tier quirky. I almost forgot about the shower head that only worked if you held it at a precise angle. It was like a weird, slightly scalding game of Operation. And the guy who ran the place, Mr. Prakash himself, was a character. He'd just appear and disappear, like a mischievous genie or something. Totally memorable stay, in a 'I'll never forget that' kind of way. Definitely an experience.
Gurdwara Experience?
So I'm heading to Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar next week. I've heard amazing things about the gurdwaras there, the food, the atmosphere... But I'm a little nervous about navigating the area. Any tips on… more
Don't worry too much! Mumbai's surprisingly easy to navigate, even if you don't speak Hindi or Marathi. Most people in touristy areas, and especially around prominent gurdwaras, will speak some English. Use ride-hailing apps like Ola or Uber – they're cheap and reliable. Just make sure you have data on your phone or get a local SIM. Google Maps works pretty well too, but double check the route before you start. For smaller gurdwaras, showing the address in English on your phone usually works. People are incredibly helpful. Pointing at the address on your phone and smiling goes a long way. If all else fails, ask at a larger, more central gurdwara – someone there will likely be able to direct you or even offer to call a cab for you. Enjoy the experience! The food alone is worth the trip.
That's really helpful, thanks! Ola and Uber are good to know – I'll definitely download those before I go. I was a little worried about the language barrier, but it sounds like it shouldn't be a major issue. The food being amazing is a huge plus! I'm really looking forward to it now.
