Lost in the Lanes
fwiw if you're coming from the western line side, get off at vileparle station instead of santacruz. the 313 bus from vileparle east goes straight past the colony gate on irla road, saves you the auto fare from the station. inside the colony, the main artery is the road that runs past the club and the old market, everything branches off that. just remember the wedding venue is prob near the central park area, that's where most of the functions happen. and dont bother with google maps for walking, just follow the music
yeah getting into the colony is the main headache, not being inside it. try taking a bus to santacruz station or the junction near holy family church, then hop an auto from there. the 319 bus runs along sv road and drops you close enough to walk, saves you a bit if you're on a budget. inside the colony, just ask any uncle sitting on a bench for directions, they know every shortcut and will point you to the right lane without you needing a map
Honestly, Indian Airlines Colony is pretty walkable once you're in it. The challenge is getting to it. Taxis and autos are your best bet for that initial leg, just be clear with the driver, show them the address on your phone if you have it. Once inside, it's a maze of narrow streets, but it's charming! Don't rely on Google Maps too heavily; it can be inaccurate in older, denser areas like that. Ask locals for directions, people are generally very helpful. If all else fails, just use a ride-hailing app for getting around within the colony itself; it'll probably be cheaper than constantly hailing autos. Enjoy the wedding!
I want to sell my old clothes
have u tried the chor bazaar route? not for selling to shops but the friday morning flea guys near mumbadevi, some of them buy vintage/retro pieces outright and pay better than the bale walas if ur stuff has any character. got 800 for a bunch of old levi's and band tees there. thing is u gotta go early like 6am and know how to hold ur ground, they smell desperation instantly
one thing nobody mentioned, watch out for the weight vs piece thing. kabadiwalas and bale buyers pay by kilo so heavy stuff like denim and woolens actually earn more than fancy light stuff. i cleared a whole bag of old jeans to a guy in Malad for way better than what my branded shirts fetched. also wash everything before u show it, sounds obvious but dusty clothes get lowballed on sight.
honestly the timing matters more than the platform. end of month is when people get salary and actually buy, so list ur stuff around the 1st or 2nd. also post pics in natural light near a window, not on ur bed with flash, makes a huge difference on OLX and insta thrift pages. i've flipped a lot of my old stuff this way and the same kurta that got ignored at 300 sold for 500 when i relisted it properly.
