Carwash..

In Mumbai, carowners need not take their cars to the carwash, there are guys who come over daily to do the job! This is necessary because there is plenty of dust around, hence the cars need to cleaned daily.

Vasaiwala

This is the 'Vasaiwala' (man from Vasai - a distant suburb of Mumbai) who traditionally has been a supplier of farm fresh vegetables from Vasai to residents of Mumbai, at their doorsteps. These guys would vend the fresh vegetables all over Mumbai. Now their number has dwindled drastically with the development of Vasai into a big township itself.
