Sion East Mysteries
ngl the best vada pav in sion east isn't actually a cart, it's a tiny hole-in-the-wall called Sharma Snacks on the lane behind the bus depot. they've been there since the 90s and their batata vada is always fresh out the kadhai, super crispy. ask for the "special" version with extra garlic chutney and a fried green chilli on the side, it's like 30 bucks and will change ur life. if they're closed for some reason, walk two mins to the Koliwada junction and look for the guy with the orange umbrella, he does a decent one too but his ragda pattice is actually the star
tbh the real move is to skip the station area entirely and head to the lane opposite the Sion Fort. there's a guy named Prakash who sets up around 5pm near the old fire brigade office, his vada pav is legit the best in this pocket. the chutney's got this slight garlic kick that most places miss. just look for the yellow handcart with the faded "Prakash" sign, it's not on any map but everyone around there knows him. grab a cutting chai from the stall two doors down while you're at it
I'll point you somewhere the others haven't mentioned. Walk towards the Sion Circle end, past the old Mahavir Nagar building, and look for the narrow lane that runs alongside the Sion Koliwada fish market. There's a lady named Shobha who sets up around 6:30pm with a steel cart and no signage at all. Her vada pav is different because she uses a slightly thicker batter with grated coconut mixed in, which gives it a faint sweetness that cuts through the oil. She's usually there until 8pm or until the vadas run out, whichever comes first. If you want something cold after, there's a gola stall two lanes over that does a mean kala khatta.

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.
