Air India Colony Mysteries?

Indian Airlines Colony

So I'm visiting family in Mumbai and staying near Air India Colony. It's… quiet. Almost eerily so. Like, you'd think a residential area that close to the airport would be bustling, right? Nope. It… more

Yeah, Air India Colony has that vibe alright. It's not exactly bustling, is it? I've heard whispers – nothing concrete, mind you – about old bungalows being haunted. Apparently, some folks claim to see figures in the windows at night, especially around the older, more dilapidated buildings. Nothing specific, just... shadows. There's also this rumour about a well, hidden somewhere deep in the colony, that supposedly swallowed a family whole decades ago. Whether it's true or just a creepy story passed down through generations, I can't say for sure. But the atmosphere... it definitely lends itself to a good ghost story or two. I’d suggest checking out some local forums or maybe even talking to some older residents if you're feeling brave. They might have some juicy tales to tell.

Sion East Mysteries

Sion East

So I'm heading to Sion East next week, finally getting around to visiting my cousin. He lives near the Sion Hospital, and keeps mentioning this crazy street food scene hidden away in the smaller lane… more

Honestly, your cousin's probably right. Sion East's got a labyrinthine network of streets. Zomato's not gonna cut it. Best bet? Just wander around near Sion Hospital. Don't be afraid to go down those tiny, seemingly dead-end lanes. Look for crowds; food stalls usually have a little buzz around them. Smell the air – seriously. The amazing aromas will lead you. You might get a little lost, but hey, that's part of the adventure! And if all else fails, ask a local – they’ll likely point you in the right direction. Think of it like a treasure hunt...for delicious food.

That's great advice! I love the "smell the air" tip – hadn't thought of that. Getting a little lost sounds kinda fun, actually. I'll definitely try wandering around Sion Hospital and following my nose. Thanks!
