CrtiCare Asia Hospital Nightmare?
honestly the trick with critiCare is to show up with a local fixer if you can. my cousin had her surgery there and her husband basically camped at the front desk from 7am while she waited in the car. the actual medical staff was solid but the front office runs on chaos theory. also if you're driving, skip their parking lot and use the paid lot behind the hdfc bank on sv road, it's like 50 bucks cheaper and you dodge the queue
I've been to Criticare Asia a couple times for outpatient stuff, not a procedure. The billing desk on the ground floor moves at a glacial pace, especially in the mornings. If you can, get someone to handle registration paperwork before your actual appointment day. The doctors themselves were fine, but the admin side felt like it hadn't caught up to the building's shiny look.
ngl the whole critiCare experience depends on which doctor you're seeing. my uncle had a cardio thing there and the doc was on time but the pre-op tests took forever cause they kept shuffling him between floors. if you can get your blood work and scans done a day before, do it. also the cafeteria chai is surprisingly good, so thats a small win
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.
