The Press Wallahs

Meet the press Walli. She is the best. She and her husband do a wash and iron service just next to my home. I always drop off my ironing and practice my hindi.
Between my toddler hindi and her broken English, we converse well. Example:

Walli- This collar is dirty.
Me- Well, I washed it.
Walli- Not good enough, better try again.

And yes, that is a charcoal (koila) powered iron. It probably weighs 8 lbs. So she's no push over.

And just for a price check, 12 shirts are ironed 4 times better than I can do it for 60 Rupees or $1 USD. Worth it.
