Lunchbox Love

Remember your favorite lunchbox from grade school? Well, here in India, lunchbox love does not stop at grade 5. Everyone brings their hot lunch or "tiffin" in a plastic lunchbox. See below.
At my office, we have tiffins delivered each day. A local family cooks the food, packs the steel tins and sends all the plastic containers over via bicycle. It usually includes two hot vegetable dishes, rice, roti and cucumbers. Although I never know exactly what I am eating, it is quite tasty. Once you finish, you pack the tins in the box and send it back. No paper or plastic waste, save a few napkins.

For a great story about delivering tiffins in Mumbai, check out this story, Grandma Cooks, They Deliver, from the New York Times. Imagine if grandma's home cookin' was delivered hot and fresh to you everyday. Sure beats Subway.
