Delhi Dhobi New Delhi is the capital of India, and Suzanne's favourite place in India. No doubt, one of our kittens should be named after this city. The kitten honored with this name is blue and white with a lot of white. This white colour reminded of the white blankets and towels hanging over fences or laying on the ground, near water, all over India. It is the dhobies, the washermen, who dries the cloth in this way. Two of the pictures below shows, however, people washing cloth after celebrating Holi. Holi is one of the big festivals among hindus. Except special food, this includes putting colour powder on each other. Listen to an old dhobi singing.
Here is the way to S*Poo Nai's Delhi Dhobi.
