Finding peace in the chaos
I'm visiting my aunt in Indian Airlines Colony next month. She says it's changed so much since she moved there decades ago, but still retains that old-world charm...or so she claims! The pictures sh… more
Yeah, finding quiet in Mumbai is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack... but totally doable. Indian Airlines Colony's pretty packed, that's for sure. Forget sprawling parks; your best bet is hunting for smaller, less-known pockets of green – maybe some tucked-away temple gardens or even just quiet lanes with old banyan trees. Walk around a bit, explore the smaller side streets – you might stumble upon something surprisingly peaceful. Even a quiet corner in a less busy part of a larger park can work wonders. Think early mornings or late evenings to avoid the worst of the crowds. Good luck with your meditation!
That's great advice! I hadn't thought about temple gardens – that's a fantastic idea. I’ll definitely try exploring some of the smaller streets and lanes. Early mornings it is then! Thanks so much for the practical tips, they're really helpful. I appreciate the suggestion.

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.
