Re: June 26, 2018: World's largest Iron (?)
A few years ago we went to a commercial laundry in Kerala and, like you, I was intrigued by the huge irons they used. I was even more fascinated by the fact that they were 'coal-powered'. I attach a photo of what they look like inside.

Re: June 26, 2018: World's largest Iron (?)
Makes me wonder, Professor, how often hot ashes burn the very clothes and linens they are pressing?

Re: June 26, 2018: World's largest Iron (?)
I do not know the answer to that question, but the irons seemed well up to the job and the operators clearly knew what they were doing. There were huge quantities of bed sheets, towels, and clothing involved. I actually wonder whether the people working there would consider what we might view as a 'normal' iron as an improvement.

Do you have any recommendations regarding good INDIAN food in Mumbai (- preferably not in an international hotel)? Or is street food the best option?

I would bet that a great deal of that power is unmetered too ! Rogue connections to street lamps are everywhere, and a modest tip to the power company engineer cuts your business overheads ! Monsoon rains produce endless outages and sparking cables !

Re: 6 Things you must consider when hiring Luxury car rental for Delhi Tour
Does it actually make sense to hire a car for travelling around Delhi itself? Taxis, tuk-tuks, or the metro might often be more sensible choices. The latter obviously has limitations in terms of the places you can reach easily, but at least you don't get stuck in Delhi's horrendous traffic!

Re: Humayun's Tomb, Delhi (Where Gumbo was #315)
Although doubtless glad of the visitors and income, the Archaeological Survey of India must be dismayed that so many tour groups barely have time to walk from the entrance to the main building. As this post shows, it really deserves much more reflective and peaceful time to absorb the scale and influence of this building or simply to watch shadows change and afternoon light suffuse the ochre structure. Bravo Doc !
