Lost in the Lanes of IAC?
Yeah, IAC is a beast. Seriously, the street numbering is... artistic. I've lived near there for years and still get turned around sometimes. Best bet is to use Google Maps, even with its occasional inaccuracies in those narrow lanes, it's better than nothing. Or, if you see someone who looks like they've been there awhile, maybe try a quick "Excuse me, is this the right way to [Address or Landmark]?" It might work better than you think; people are generally helpful, even if they are mid-gossip. Good luck, you'll get the hang of it eventually. It's a charm, once you figure it out.
honestly just look for the blue water tanks on the roofs, theyre like landmarks for diff blocks. also the chai wala near the main gate knows every building by heart, just ask him
the secret is to use the paan shops as markers, every corner has one and theyre all named after different gods. once you figure out which one is near your building it gets way easier. also the laundry lines tell you whose home, if you see a specific colour towel its a shortcut to the back lane
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.
