Lost in the Lanes
You should take her for a walk down the lane behind the old Indian Airlines office on Nehru Road, the one that connects to the back of the JW Marriott. There's a small juice stall there run by the same family since the late 70s, they still make a mean sugarcane juice with ginger and a squeeze of lime. It's one of those spots that's survived the redevelopment because it's tucked between two old buildings. Your aunt will probably recognise the smell of the frying bhajiyas before she sees the stall.
oh the irla market chaos is real but if your aunt remembers the old parsi dairy on the road towards the khar bus depot, it's still there and they still make that incredible chai with the thick malai on top. the street food vendors have definitely shifted around though, the ones near the indian airlines colony gate moved to a little lane behind the mahalaxmi temple, you'll find a guy doing amazing bhajiya there around 5pm. also the old nana-nani park she used to go to got a makeover, it's actually nicer now with better benches and less noise from the main road
honestly it's still pretty green compared to most of mumbai, just more cars now. the lanes around santa cruz station side are still quiet, especially near the old indian airlines staff quarters. the street food scene near the juhu circle end is still solid, the vada pav guy near the flyover has been there for decades. if she misses the old vendors, try walking towards irla market on a weekday evening, there's a couple of stalls that have been around since the 90s.

I want to sell my old clothes
have u tried the chor bazaar route? not for selling to shops but the friday morning flea guys near mumbadevi, some of them buy vintage/retro pieces outright and pay better than the bale walas if ur stuff has any character. got 800 for a bunch of old levi's and band tees there. thing is u gotta go early like 6am and know how to hold ur ground, they smell desperation instantly
one thing nobody mentioned, watch out for the weight vs piece thing. kabadiwalas and bale buyers pay by kilo so heavy stuff like denim and woolens actually earn more than fancy light stuff. i cleared a whole bag of old jeans to a guy in Malad for way better than what my branded shirts fetched. also wash everything before u show it, sounds obvious but dusty clothes get lowballed on sight.
honestly the timing matters more than the platform. end of month is when people get salary and actually buy, so list ur stuff around the 1st or 2nd. also post pics in natural light near a window, not on ur bed with flash, makes a huge difference on OLX and insta thrift pages. i've flipped a lot of my old stuff this way and the same kurta that got ignored at 300 sold for 500 when i relisted it properly.
