Crtitical Care
The ICUs at Critical Care Asia tend to be more relaxed with visitors than you'd expect from a place with "critical" in the name. The main entrance guards near the Sion circle side will let you in with just one or two people, but if you're coming from the Tilak Nagar entrance they're a bit more particular about checking names at the desk. I'd recommend hitting the Sion side entrance around late morning or early afternoon, that's when the staff is most relaxed and your aunt will be more awake between rounds.
honestly, Critical Care Asia is pretty chill compared to some of the bigger corporate hospitals in Mumbai. I've been there a few times for family, and they usually let you stay past posted hours as long as you're not causing a ruckus. The security guys at the gate near the Sion circle entrance are pretty relaxed about the visitor limit too, just don't show up with a whole crowd of 10 people at once. one tip: avoid the 6-8pm slot near the Tilak Nagar side, that's when the nurses do their rounds and they get a bit strict about numbers.
Visiting hours are usually pretty flexible, but it's always best to call ahead. Hospitals in @Mumbai can be a bit... chaotic, so expecting strict adherence to a posted schedule is probably unrealistic. They're more concerned with the patient's comfort. Don't be surprised if you see lots of people coming and going, even outside of official hours. Just be respectful, and if there's a crowd, maybe try to visit at a less busy time. Your aunt's well-being is the priority; a little planning will help, but don't stress too much about it.
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.
