Before going to deliver the washed /ironed  clothes (tied in the bundle), this man was taking a short break.  

Last Sunday (25th October), I went to a Dhobi Ghat with friends Sharookh & Nrupen. As it was evening the activity was minimal but still, we got some shots of the people who stay in these areas.

Dhobi Ghat is washers' area in Mumbai. The washers known locally as Dhobis work in open to wash the cloths from Mumbai's homes, hotels and hospitals. There are row upon row of open-air concrete wash pens, each fitted with its own flogging stone. There are quite a few Dhobi Ghats in Mumbai, prominent amongst them are Mahalakshmi & Cuffe Parade.

The blues are natural and not done up in PS! ;-) 

Spread over 48 acres, it's THE place to have a holiday! One can relax in the suite, enjoy the sun, the water... and forget all worries. The warm hospitality and delicious food adds to the experience.

Hershy > Momo Botan (Nelumbo nucifera) (Lotus from Thailand) (179 23rd Oct)

Shot at cousin's garden with D300 & 70-200 f2.8
NO PP except light adjustment.

Momo Botan is one of the best blooming lotuses. The flowers are double pink and can be between 5 to 6" (although I think the ones I saw were much bigger!) and leaves are about 12" and stand about 2' high. The centre green part has seeds which are used for cooking.

the unopened flower was put up yesterday

The temple was originally built in 1780 and a tall spire was added in 1900. It's in the heart of the city on a small hill at about 1000 ft. above sea level.
