Crciti Care Asia Hospital Nightmare?
So, I'm heading to Crtiti Care Asia Hospital in a few weeks for a minor procedure. I've heard mixed reviews – some say it's top-notch, others... not so much. My biggest worry is the wait times. Anyo… more
It's a private hospital in Mumbai, so fingers crossed your experience is better than some of the horror stories you hear. Wait times are tough to predict – even in private hospitals. Depends on the day, the specialist, and how many emergencies they're handling. My wife had a procedure there last year, and while the facilities were undeniably impressive, the wait before her consultation was easily two hours. The actual procedure itself was pretty quick, though. Best to call ahead and check in about expected wait times for your specific procedure if you can – even better if you can specify the doctor. Good luck!
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.
