1/160 f/14.0, ISO 200,

Presso la lavanderia municipale, il Dobhi Gath di Mahalaxmi, qualcosa come 7000 uomini, si servono della forza delle loro braccia per lavare tonnellate di biancheria sporca che giungono dagli alberghi e dai ristoranti della metropoli di Mumbai. Lo spettacolo offerto da quella moltitudine è impressionante. Il quartiere è costellato di muretti che delimitano piccoli recinti di circa un metro e mezzo dove i lavoratori sono immersi fino alle caviglie nell'acqua e detersivo. Gente che lavora duro: che trasporta pigne di lenzuoli, che sbatte la biancheria sui muretti, che la immerge in acqua e detersivo; che la centrifuga in vecchie centrifughe manuali, che la stende su immense corde tirate tra gli edifici, che la stira con vecchi ferri a carbone. Una moltitudine in lotta per il lavoro, che si misura ogni giorno, in un mondo alla ricerca di un po' di benessere.
