Lost in Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar
the key is to orient yourself by the train tracks, they run along one side of the market and you can always hear the local trains passing. also most of the lanes run parallel or perpendicular to the main road so if you keep walking straight you'll eventually hit either the track side or the sion road side. for your aunt's building specifically, look for the mosque with the green dome near the market entrance, it's a solid reference point that's visible from most of the inner lanes
honestly just pick a landmark and stick to it. the big yellow hanuman temple near the main junction is a good one, you can see it from most of the narrow lanes. also the lane names are painted on some walls near the corners, look up not just at the stalls. if you get lost just ask a chai wala or the ladies at the vegetable vendors, they know every shortcut. for finding your aunt's building, count the number of turns from the main road and snap a pic of the shop at the corner - saved me loads of times in gt nagar
That market's layout is intentionally chaotic, it's part of the charm. One trick is to note the colour of the tarpaulin sheets overhead, each lane tends to stick to one shade like blue near the jewellery stalls or red closer to the fried snack vendors. Also, the chai wallahs at the junction near the big clock will know your aunt's building by the name of the shop on the ground floor, so just mention that instead of the flat number. If you walk towards the smell of fresh bhajiya, you're heading towards the main road.
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.
