Hi Caleb,
I think that it is perhaps a pity that you cut off the top of the brown sign and the edge of the writing on the left side, but perhaps there were some space restrictions... Otherwise I love his old fashioned iron and the small doorway infront of which he stands deep into what he is doing. A nice daily life in India scene.
Regards
Wanda

Nice photo! For those of you who are wondering about the intriguing, beautiful, yet undecipherable poetry on that sign, here it is: (with translations in () )

Jyotirvid (Astrology)
Pandit Kailashnath Gopinath Dadhich (name of the fellow)
Shri Ragunath Shah ka mandir, Badi Basti, Pushkar, Raj (address of the fellow: next to a temple, in the big settlement, in pushkar)
Jyotish Panditya Karyalay (Office of Astrological Studies)

The question is, what is Mr. Sahil's laundry shop doing in the doorway of Mr. Kailashnath's astrology shop?

Not that anyone cares, though...
