Extremely outspoken, extremely slow dhobis (manual laundromats), very capable of misplacing or burning an extremely huge hole in your favourite jacket. They do pick and drop your clothes, but only after you have made twenty trips to their road-side stall fortified by huge bundles to remind them.

So true.. Lost a good pair of trousers to a Dhobi in Hyderabad few years ago. Since long time I’ve been washing and ironing my cloths myself…
