We still have a person who irons all our clothes, pickup and delivery included - Rs.5 for a saree (6 yards of cloth), Rs.2 for a sari blouse, Rs.3 for everything else. For some idea on the cost $1=Rs.45. Cheers Jayanand On Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 9:50 PM, Lawrence Zeitlin <lrzeitlin at gmail.com>wrote: > More street scenes from India.
