Ruturang Bungalow

The bungalow is tucked away in Gondhalpada, over in the Varsoli area. It is quite close to the Home Guard Office, which is how most people find us. Ruturang Bungalow isn't a hotel with a lobby and staff in suits. It’s more of a home that we look after. There’s a bit of a yard with some trees that drop leaves all year round, so we spend a lot of time sweeping the porch. The walls are painted a simple color and the furniture is the kind you’d find in any regular house. When the weather is nice, you can hear the wind through the trees. It’s a quiet part of town, away from the main noise of the bigger roads. We spend our days making sure the rooms are aired out and the water tanks are full. Sometimes the gate gets a bit rusty and makes a loud noise when you open it. We don't have a big fancy sign out front, just the name. People who stay here usually want a break from the city. We don't provide a lot of extra services, just a clean place to sleep and a bit of peace. There is a small kitchen where we make tea. It feels like a real home because it is one. We live nearby and come over every day to check on things. It’s a simple way of living. We’ve been managing the place for a few years now and the neighbors are used to us.
