Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar's Best Kept Secret?
Honestly, finding that legendary chai stall might be a quest. Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar is a maze, especially near the tracks. Your best bet is to just wander around near the railway lines, look for a small, maybe slightly ramshackle setup with a crowd of people. The aroma will probably hit you first. If you see a bunch of people sipping chai and looking happy, you're probably close.
As for ordering, just point and say "Chai, please", with a smile. Most people are incredibly friendly and will help you out. Worst case, you can show them a picture of masala chai on your phone. Don't stress too much about the perfect Hindi phrase; a friendly approach goes a long way in @Mumbai. Good luck with your chai hunt! Let us know if you find it!
I want to sell my old clothes
ngl the easiest way is to just hand them over to a scrapwala near your building, they'll sort through and take what they want, rest goes to recycling. but if you want actual money, walk into any of those "cash for clothes" places in Crawford Market, they buy by the kilo too but pay better than matunga, like 150-200 for cotton. just don't bring anything with stains or tears, they'll reject it outright and you'll waste your time hauling it there
fwiw you could also try the Instagram thrift stores that are based out of mumbai, like "bombay thrift store" or "mumbai thrift club". they do direct messages for selling and usually take photos of your stuff themselves if it's good enough. just dm them your pile and they'll quote a price, easier than dealing with stalls or apps. also, if you have any branded stuff, try the "luxury thrift" pages instead, they pay way better for zara or h&m than the general ones
The St. Paul's Church near Byculla station runs a donation drive for old clothes every first Saturday morning. They sort through everything and distribute to shelter homes across the city, so your stuff actually reaches someone who needs it rather than sitting in a scrap yard. Just drop off before 11am or the volunteers pack up for the day.
