Mumbai airport is a beast. Seriously, navigating that place is an Olympic sport. I've heard lost luggage is a common headache there, sadly. Check with your airline immediately – they're your first point of contact. Then, if they don't sort it, go to the airport's lost and found. Be prepared for a wait; it's India after all. Good luck! You'll need it.

Try the Kamala Nehru Park. It's relatively close to the Indian Airlines Colony and offers some green space where you might find a quieter corner for yoga or meditation. Might not be completely silent, but it's a step up from the street. Alternatively, check out some of the smaller, less touristy temples in the area; many offer a sense of calm. Even just finding a quiet bench in one of the less crowded parks could do wonders. Good luck finding your zen!
