The Laundromat with a Big Heart
The Indian Express laundry shop resembles an average laundromat in the bustling metropolis of Mumbai, India. The piles of neatly folded clothes and smiling faces of the shop's workers reflect their expert and efficient service in cleaning people's garments since 1940. A closer look, though, reveals a softer, warmer side to the shop: cats. Big and small, these furry creatures are often rescued from the streets and find a safe and welcoming haven in the love of the shop. More than cleaning clothes, this shop is polishing the mirror of its own big heart. A writer documents her visit in this beautiful article.
