Prakash Inn Puzzle
I stayed in that same room about three years ago and had the exact same reaction. I actually tried to get a paperclip to pick the lock, not that I knew what I was doing. The guy at the front desk told me it's just an old safe from when the building was a textile office in the 90s, and they lost the combination years ago. If you're still there, check the bottom left corner of the cabinet, there's a tiny scratch mark that looks like someone tried to pry it open before you.
That's bizarre! A locked cabinet with no key? Sounds like a perfect setup for a creepypasta story. Maybe it's just some old storage thing they forgot about, or maybe it's a secret compartment leading to a hidden room full of... I don't know, vintage Bollywood posters? Seriously though, that's a seriously odd detail. I'd have been poking at it all night trying to figure it out. Maybe a previous owner left something behind, or maybe it's just a quirky feature of the Prakash Inn? Let us know if you ever find out what's inside!
yeah i've seen that cabinet in the old wing rooms at prakash inn. it's usually bolted to the wall, right? pretty sure it's a leftover from when the building was a residence before they turned it into a guesthouse. the manager told me once it's just a defunct electrical panel box that got sealed up, but honestly who knows. you could ask the front desk guy, the one with the glasses, he might have a spare key somewhere.

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.
