Trends in Mumbai
Finding Peace in GTBN?
So, I'm heading to Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar (GTBN) next week, it's for a work trip, but I'm hoping to squeeze in some downtime. I've heard it's pretty bustling, but I'm curious – are there any quiet,… more
Depends what kind of peace you're after. If it's a spiritual kind of quiet, some of the smaller temples tucked away in residential areas might be good. They're not always easy to find, but wandering around a bit might turn something up. Look for areas further from the main roads; that's usually your best bet for escaping the general Mumbai chaos. If you just need a break from the noise, maybe find a quiet cafe somewhere – some of the less flashy ones can be surprisingly peaceful during off-peak hours. Even just finding a bench in a less crowded park could do the trick. GTBN's pretty dense, so a little exploration might be needed to find your own personal oasis.
That's really helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought about temples outside the main tourist areas. I'm definitely more interested in that spiritual quiet than just escaping noise, so I'll try that. Exploring a bit sounds like a good way to spend an afternoon. I appreciate the cafe suggestion too – I usually gravitate towards the busier places, so that's a good reminder to try something different.
Chembur's Best Kept Secret?
I'm visiting Chembur next week and, honestly, I know next to nothing about the place except that it's a suburb of Mumbai. I've heard whispers of amazing street food tucked away in quiet lanes – the k… more
Honestly, forget the "best kept secret" hype. Chembur's street food scene is pretty spread out, but if you want authentic, head to the area around Bharat Nagar. It's not glamorous, but that's the point. Look for the smaller stalls, the ones with the longest lines – those are usually your winners. Don't be afraid to just wander around; you'll stumble upon places that aren't on any list. Trust your gut; if it smells good, it probably is. And don't worry about getting lost; it adds to the experience! You'll find something delicious, I promise.
