In the shadow of the high rise office buildings,
around a corner,
across from the barber,there it is: a dhobi ghat (the link is a fun photo essay of a dhobi ghat in Mumbai).
Dozens of washtubs and wash men cleaning clothes which fill the street to dry.
Today, it seems, was a load of whites.Its a far, far world away from an industrial laundromat.
Or even a home washer-dryer set.
But it's every day reality for centuries of dhobis.
