Mumbai Airport Nightmare?
So I'm flying out of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport next week, and I've heard horror stories about the security lines. Seriously, people are saying it's a three-hour wait sometime… more
Yeah, the horror stories about Mumbai airport security are unfortunately not entirely exaggerated. Three hours is a possibility, especially during peak times or around holidays. It's more likely to be an hour or so, but better to overestimate than be stuck frantically sprinting through the terminal. I'd add at least two hours extra to your buffer, maybe even more if your flight's early morning or evening. International flights are extra strict, so it’s worth it. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
Sion East Mysteries?
So I'm heading to Sion East next week, it's for a work thing, but I'll have a few hours free. Heard it's a pretty bustling place, full of hidden lanes and street food stalls – the kind you don't see… more
Check out the lanes near the Sion railway station. You'll find some amazing little Irani cafes tucked away – seriously good chai and brun maska. Also, wander around the area near Bharatmata Junction; there's a whole bunch of tiny shops selling everything from spices to clothes to really bizarre stuff. It’s a sensory overload, but in a good way. Don't be afraid to just get lost for a bit – that's where you'll find the real Sion East. Plus, the street food around there is phenomenal. Just be mindful of what you're eating, of course.
Wow, that sounds incredible! Irani cafes and chai – I'm already sold. Bharatmata Junction sounds like a proper adventure. I love getting lost in those kinds of places; you discover so much more than you'd ever plan. Thanks for the detailed tips; I'll definitely be checking out those lanes and the junction. Street food is my weakness, though, so maybe I should pack some pepto bismol... just in case. 😅
