Mumbai Airport Chaos?
So I'm flying out of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport next week – it's my first time using it, and honestly, I'm low-key terrified after reading some... reviews. The whole thing sou… more
Ugh, Mumbai airport. Yeah, the horror stories are...mostly true. It can be a nightmare. Your early flight makes this even more crucial. First, online check-in is your absolute BEST friend. Do it the second you can. Then, pre-book your cab to the airport; don't chance it with a last-minute ride. Allow at least three hours before your flight, maybe even three and a half, especially with security. Seriously. Get there early, grab a coffee, and just breathe. The earlier you get there the less likely you are to end up in that insane security line. And seriously, pack light. Less stuff to get checked.
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.
