| But to the dhobi I appeared cold as the waters of the snows that melt on the mountains. |
| I once had a bearer who was sadly afflicted because on tour he had to sleep in the same tent with a dhobi. |
| My friend Santosh, the dhobi, tells us proudly about buying a mobile phone for his parents in their remote village in Uttar Pradesh. |
| The dhobi is also employed on the occasion of a birth or a death. |
| In these circumstances a dhobi with good connections is what you require. |
| The dhobi is then called to wash the clothes of the household, and their earthen pots are thrown away. |
