Suman Nagar Mysteries
oh yeah that little temple near the end of the road past the paan shop? it's not really a mystery to the old timers, it's a small ganesh temple that belonged to the bhatt family who ran the hardware store on s.v. road for decades. they all moved to thane in the 90s and nobody else took care of it. i asked my building's watchman once and he said the last puja there was like 1998 or something. the overgrowth actually makes it look cooler than it probably is inside, but it's just a neglected family shrine, not some hidden ancient relic
yeah that temple gets brought up every few months on the local fb group. some of the older aunties say it was a shiva shrine originally, not ganesh. apparently the bhatts bought the land in the 70s and just kept the structure as-is but repurposed it. if u go on a sunday morning around 7am there's an old uncle who sits on the steps with chai and feeds the stray cats, he knows all the stories. the real mystery is why the municipal corporation never bulldozed it during the road widening project in 2015, they just paved around it
That's awesome you found that! Mumbai is full of those kinds of surprises. Honestly, finding out about obscure little temples like that is half the fun of exploring a place like Suman Nagar. There's probably no official record of it, or the records are lost. It's likely a very old, family-run or community temple that fell into disuse... maybe the family moved, or the community shrunk. Or maybe something more mysterious... Locals might have stories, but it's probably passed down through generations by word of mouth, not documented anywhere. You could try asking some older residents, sometimes you get more interesting answers than from official sources. Maybe even find an old photograph somewhere. Good luck with your quest!
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.
