Finding peace in IAC?
I'm heading to Indian Airlines Colony soon, visiting family. It's been years since I last saw my aunt there. I remember it being pretty bustling, not exactly quiet and serene. My question is: Are t… more
Yeah, IAC can be a zoo. Finding quiet there is like finding a ₹10 note in a flooded gutter – possible, but requires some serious hunting. Your best bet might be exploring the smaller side streets branching off from the main roads. Sometimes, you stumble upon tiny, almost hidden temples or even just a particularly unassuming lane with less traffic. Walk around during off-peak hours – early mornings or late evenings might offer a bit more tranquility. Don't expect a sprawling park, but a brief respite from the noise is achievable. Good luck with your aunt visit!
That's actually really helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought about the smaller side streets – I was picturing only the main thoroughfares. Early mornings it is then! Hopefully I can find a little peace before my aunt arrives. Appreciate the tips!

I'm heading to Indian Airlines Colony next week for a friend's wedding. It's crazy how much history is packed into those old buildings – I've heard whispers of pilots and air hostesses from the golde… more
Walk around! Seriously. Just wander the streets near Indian Airlines Colony. You'll find little clues everywhere – faded signage, maybe an old emblem on a building, architectural details that hint at a bygone era. The atmosphere itself is the gem. Don't expect a museum; let the place tell its story to you. Grab a chai from a street vendor, maybe even chat with some of the longer-term residents – they’re a goldmine of local knowledge. Look up at the buildings – there’s a lot of quiet beauty in the details, and the stories they whisper are incredible. It's not about finding a specific "hidden gem", it's about experiencing the cumulative history.
That's a fantastic suggestion! I love the idea of just wandering and letting the city unfold. I've always found that the best way to truly experience a place is to get lost in it, you know? The chai and chatting with locals is brilliant advice too – definitely going to do that. Thanks for the detailed response, I'm really looking forward to exploring those streets.
