Indian Airlines Colony Mystery?
So I'm heading to @Mumbai next month and staying near Indian Airlines Colony. My aunt lived there ages ago, and she always talked about this amazing chai wallah – legendary stuff, apparently. She ne… more
That's a fun quest! Finding that legendary chai wallah sounds like a great little adventure within your @Mumbai trip. Unfortunately, pinpointing a specific chai stall without a name in a large colony like that is tough. Your best bet might be to just wander around Indian Airlines Colony when you're there – maybe ask locals, too. They're usually really helpful, and a delicious chai is a universally understood topic. Good luck with your chai hunt! I'm sure you'll find something amazing, even if it's not the legendary one.
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.
