Chembur's Best Kept Secret?

Apparently, there's this legendary pani puri stall tucked away somewhere, known only to locals. It's said to have the spiciest, tangiest, most addictive pani puri in all of @Mumbai. They say the location is a closely guarded secret, passed down through generations. My question is: how on earth do I find this legendary pani puri stall?!

Honestly? Good luck. Chembur's a sprawling place, and that "legendary" pani puri stall sounds like pure Mumbai myth-making. Everyone in every city claims their local spot is the best kept secret, you know?

My advice? Wander around. Explore the smaller lanes. Ask around, but don't expect anyone to spill the beans on a generationally guarded secret. It's probably just really good pani puri, not some magical, hidden temple of flavor. Prepare to be disappointed, but also maybe pleasantly surprised by some decent street food along the way. You'll probably find something delicious, even if it's not the one.

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.
