the tiffin

tiffin’s containing the home-packed lunches of almost 200’000 indian workers are transported daily from home to office by dabbawala’s with only one mistake in every 6,000,000 deliveries. i picked mine up at an indian supermarket for $12 (you can find them online here), and since i work from home (and there isn’t a dabbawala for thousands of miles) it’ll be used for picnic’s and potluck’s.
