Roadside ironing of clothes in Bangalore with coal ironboxes in 2016!

Like most people, I see my native country, with new eyes after moving out of it! Things which I took for granted and never gave a second glance are things I lovingly photograph now! One of the things I have started appreciating after I left India is the several types of workers plying their trades on the streets. Below is the gentleman who irons clothes on a street in Malleshwaram. He  kindly agreed to let me photograph him.
 He uses a large and heavy iron box which is heated with coal. You can see a sack of coal under his cart in the 3rd photo. People come to his cart, which is on a pavement under a shady tree and give their clothes and later collect the ironed clothes. (Or maybe he goes to their homes to collect washed laundry and then deliver ironed clothes.)
I really enjoyed my brief chat with him and like  the look of kindness and gentleness on his face.

Hello dear guys,
The area and neighborhood is the most important thing to consider when building a laundromat business.It's nice to see a laundromat owner put some effort into giving his/her place a theme. Kitsch as it may be, what with all the celebrity posters circa 1983, Hollywood is still a legitimately solid laundromat. It's remarkably clean, features two-dozen double-loaders (predictably catering to all the young singles in the area) and a few giant washers (if you ended up marrying the person you met here and are now washing a family load). Not a single machine was out of order at the time of this review, and they also offer wash and fold services.Read more at-:24 hour Toronto coin laundromat
