Suman Nagar's Secret Spices?
Suman Nagar isn't really the spice hub you're looking for. Walk about 15 minutes east to Dadar's Lalbaug market, specifically the lane behind the old Bhaji Gully. There's a tiny shop called Kharak Singh Masale that's been grinding their own blends for generations. They won't have fancy packaging, just paper packets tied with string, and the owner will mix you a custom curry powder if you tell him what you're cooking.
lalbaug is great but if you're staying in suman nagar itself, walk towards the matunga market area instead. there's a gujarati-run shop called jay bhavani masala, no signboard really, just a counter in the corner of a vegetable lane. they grind small batches of goda masala and kolhapuri mix, stuff you won't find in malls. ask for the "kala masala" specifically, it's their family recipe and it'll change your dal game forever. bring cash, they don't take cards
honestly if u want authentic spices just skip suman nagar entirely and head to the irani shops near byculla station they've got these old brass tins filled with stuff u wont see anywhere else no names just handwritten labels
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.
