Sion East Food Scene?
I'm heading to Sion East next week for a friend's wedding. Been hearing so much about the street food scene there – it's supposed to be amazing. Seriously though, I'm a bit overwhelmed. Anyone know… more
Sion East food scene is pretty legit. Forget the fancy stuff – you want the real deal, head to the smaller lanes off the main roads. You’ll find tons of little stalls selling all sorts of things. For vada pav, just wander around – you'll stumble upon amazing places. Trust your instincts! They're usually packed, which is a good sign. Don't be afraid to try different places. For souvenirs, check out some of the local sweet shops. They often have beautifully packaged boxes of sweets and namkeen – perfect for taking back home. And if your stomach is sensitive, look for places that look really clean and busy – turnover usually means fresher food. Honestly, just exploring the area will be half the fun. Happy eating!
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.
