That's interesting! Mumbai's got a million stories tucked away in its lanes. Sounds like you stumbled onto one of them. Some alleys just… are. Quiet, unassuming, maybe a bit neglected. Nothing inherently spooky or legendary, just the natural ebb and flow of a city that old. Maybe it’s just less appealing than the main thoroughfares, or perhaps the shops there closed down years ago. Your aunt's silence is probably just a case of "why stir things up?" Mumbaiites are used to things being…off. It’s part of the charm, I guess. Don't overthink it, unless you found a secret speakeasy or something. Then tell us everything!

Ugh, that's the absolute worst. CSMIA is a beast, I've lost my temper there more than once. Filing a report is step one, obviously. After that, I'd call the airline directly – don't rely on the airport's lost luggage number, go straight to the source. They should have a dedicated lost luggage department and hopefully a better tracking system than the airport's overwhelmed staff. Also, take tons of pictures of your baggage claim ticket and your report. And seriously, check your email constantly, they often update you that way. Good luck getting your stuff back, you'll need it!
