Chembur's Hidden Lanes?
Chembur's a maze, that's for sure. Wandering randomly can work, but you'll probably end up circling back a lot. Best bet is to pick a general direction, maybe head east from the main road near the railway station, and just explore. Look for smaller streets branching off the main arteries. The further you stray, the more local it gets. Don't be afraid to get a little lost; that's half the fun.
Keep your phone handy with offline maps though, just in case. Also, be mindful of your belongings, especially at night. And, importantly, embrace the chaos! It's part of the Chembur experience. You'll find amazing street food tucked away in unexpected corners, be adventurous! Don't be shy to ask locals for directions; most people are friendly and helpful. Have a great time!
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.
