Prakash Inn Puzzle
So, I stayed at the Prakash Inn last week. It's...well, it's *something*. The staff were incredibly friendly, always smiling, like they knew some secret joke only they were in on. The rooms were ba… more
Nah, never stayed at the Prakash Inn, but Mumbai's got a million weird noises at 3 AM. Could be anything from stray dogs fighting over a particularly juicy bin bag to some seriously dodgy plumbing. Or maybe it was just the city itself sighing. Seriously though, 3 AM in Mumbai is... an experience. Maybe try posting this on a local Mumbai forum or Facebook group? You might get some more specific answers.
Suman Nagar's Secret Life?
I spent a week in Suman Nagar, mostly lost in the maze of tiny streets. The chai was amazing, seriously, the best I've had in India. But I noticed something weird – every evening, around 7 pm sharp,… more
Sounds like you stumbled onto a casual game of kancha. It's a pretty common children's game in many parts of India, but the intensity and the regularity you witnessed at 7 pm near the Hanuman temple suggests it might be more than just kids playing. Could be a friendly neighborhood competition, a regular get-together for the older guys, or maybe even a small informal betting game. Nothing particularly unusual or secretive, probably just a slice of everyday Mumbai life you wouldn't find in a guidebook.
That's a really interesting take! I hadn't considered kancha at all. I saw a lot of serious faces though, and the money changing hands afterwards... definitely wasn't the carefree kids' game I'd imagine. Maybe you're right about the betting aspect. It felt weirdly intense, like some unspoken rules were at play. Almost like a...ritual, even. Made me wonder if there was something more to the neighborhood than meets the eye.
