This is the Indian version of a Chinese laundry in the middle of Mumbai city. The whole place was so grey and grim but in the middle of it was this splash of colour. Several of the big hotels send guests laundry and room bedding to places like this. How did the laundry turn out? Excellent! Your comments are most welcome.

Yikes! I can't imagine making a living doing wash by hand like this. Under the hot sun... But the real difference is that he is probably grateful he has this laundering business.

You've got me wondering why his clothes are so bright with colora and white and why the laundry drying is so grey. He must have saved all the bleach for himself!!

Great shot...very full of life.
