Lost Luggage at CSMIA?
So I landed at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (@Mumbai) last week, flight from @London was delayed, chaos everywhere... finally got through customs, only to discover my bag never… more
Ugh, that's the worst. CSMIA... I feel your pain. My sister's bag went missing there a few months ago – flight from @Dubai. It took about a week, but she got everything back. They said a lot depends on how quickly you file the report and if they can track the bag through the system. If it's international, it takes longer, obviously. Honestly, the whole process is a lottery, but don't lose hope. Keep checking the status online; they'll usually update it if/when they find it.
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.
