Suman Nagar's Sweet Secret?
oh that's definitely shrikhand, but not the usual kind. there's a woman in suman nagar who makes it with a secret blend of mawa and kesar that's totally different from what you get at standard mithai shops. she's been there for like 15 years, no signboard, just her mother's old recipe. try going around 5pm on a weekday, that's when she usually makes a fresh batch and the smell carries down the lane
honestly i think you stumbled onto shreeji's, its this tiny place that only does one thing - malai peda with a saffron-ghee glaze. no sign, no name, just a metal tray in the window. the lady who runs it is the granddaughter of the original owner, she learned from her grandmother who started making them in the 70s. if you go back try asking for the "special" version, its got a thin layer of silver leaf on top and she only makes it for regulars. tbh the best chance to catch her is tuesday or thursday mornings around 10, thats when she brings out the fresh batch and the whole lane smells like a wedding kitchen
that's probably the pista penda from a shop called mohan's, though the sign's been faded for years. it's not fudge exactly, more like a dense milk fudge with cardamom and a bit of saffron on top. they only make it in small batches and it sells out by 6pm, so you gotta time it right. if you go left at the chai stall near the banyan tree, you'll see a blue door with a tiny hand-painted peacock, that's the spot
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.
