Mumbai Airport Madness
honestly depends on which terminal you're flying from. terminal 2 is usually smoother but the security for domestic at T1 can be a bit of a clusterfuck during peak hours like 6-8am. if you're flying international out of T2, two hours is plenty even on a busy day, just make sure you have your bag tags ready before you hit the queue.
one thing nobody tells you is that the food options past security at T1 are kinda trash, so grab a vada pav or something landside if you're hungry. also the wifi login is a pain in the ass, you gotta get an OTP and it times out fast. just download your stuff beforehand.
The real trick is timing your entry into the terminal. If you hit security right when your boarding pass is scanned, it moves way faster than hanging out near the entrance. Also, the premium lounges in T2 sell day passes for like 2500 rupees if you want a quiet spot and decent food, which beats sitting by the gate for two hours.
Three hours is definitely an exaggeration, unless you're flying on a major holiday or something. More like an hour, maybe a little more depending on the time of day and how busy it is. I'd still aim to get there at least two hours before your flight though, just to be safe. Better to have extra time than to be rushing and stressing. You'll be fine!
Yeah, you're probably right. Three hours was more of a panicked overestimate, based on horror stories I'd heard. Two hours sounds much more reasonable. Thanks for the reassurance! I'm still gonna be a nervous wreck though, haha.
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.
