Hey fellow adventurers! I’ve been looking forward to this blog post all month! I’m honestly in awe of the Dabbawallas! Maybe, by the end you’ll understand why.
Dabbawallas are an essential part of everyday life in Mumbai. For 800 rupees ($12.50 USD) a month, Indians can get a homecooked meal delivered to them 6 days a week. Their organizational system is one of the best in the world with some saying they only make one mistake every million deliveries and others saying six million. Either way, they’re the best delivery men I know of! They definitely put my local pizza hut to shame!
Dabba is the name of the cylinder metal container (tiffin) that the food comes in and wala refers to the man that carries those lunches. Dabbawalla roughly translates to “tiffin box delivery man” or “the one who carries the box.” Wives and mothers of the men that sign up for this service make their loved ones home cooked meals. The Dabbawallas pick up those meals from their homes and take it to the recipient’s work or school via train and bicycle by 1PM (13:00). It’s essential that they deliver these lunches on time. But it’s also important that the recipients give their empty containers back to the Dabbawallas on time as well. If the recipients fail to give their empty containers to the Dabbawallas three times, they’re dropped as a customer. Apart from the train, the Dabbawallas don’t use any modern devices to help them in their delivery. Over 200,000 lunches are delivered by Dabbawallas every day.
Recognizing that India needed a service that delivers hot food to busy, working men, Mahadeo Havaji Bachche started a lunch delivery service with about 100 men. Today, there are at least 5,000 Dabbawallas delivering food, and the service is still growing. Dabbawallas wear white kurtas and white Gandhi caps. Each Dabbawalla earns 8,000 rupees ($125 USD) a month, making this service one of the better paying labor jobs in India. Many of the Dabbawallas either have low literacy skills or are illiterate so the system uses mostly colors and numbers to direct men as to where the food should go. But I can’t explain as well as Dabbawalla so I highly suggest you listen to this man describe the system (it’s a short video): http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20170119-the-ingenious-codes-of-indias-dabbawalla
In 2014, a movie centered around this service came out called The Lunchbox. I haven’t seen it yet but it looks interesting and the critics at Rotten Tomatoes gave it a score of 98% so that’s promising. They describe it as: “Middle class housewife Ila is trying once again to add some spice to her marriage, this time through her cooking. She desperately hopes that this new recipe will finally arouse some kind of reaction from her neglectful husband. She prepares a special lunchbox to be delivered to him at work, but, unbeknownst to her, it is mistakenly delivered to another office worker, Saajan, a lonely man on the verge of retirement. Curious about the lack of reaction from her husband, Ila puts a little note in the following day’s lunchbox, in the hopes of getting to the bottom of the mystery. This begins a series of lunchbox notes between Saajan and Ila, and the mere comfort of communicating with a stranger anonymously soon evolves into an unexpected friendship. Gradually, their notes become little confessions about their loneliness, memories, regrets, fears, and even small joys. They each discover a new sense of self and find an anchor to hold on to in the big city of Mumbai that so often crushes hopes and dreams. Still strangers physically, Ila and Saajan become lost in a virtual relationship that could jeopardize both their realities.” Trailer here:
Though times are changing in India just like the rest of the world. With more and more women working in India, some women don’t have the time to make a hot lunch to be delivered to their husbands. If this trend continues, the delivery system will be forced to change. There’s some talk that the wives of the Dabbawalla might need to be the ones that make the lunches in the future. As of right now though, most women are still at home and making lunches for the husbands.

Hi there! This is my first visit to your blog!
We are a team of volunteers and starting a new project in a community in the same niche.
Your blog provided us useful information to work on. You have done a marvellous
job!
Everything said made a great deal of sense. But,
what about this? suppose you added a little content? I mean,
I don’t want to tell you how to run your blog,
however suppose you added something to possibly grab a person’s attention? I
mean Dabbawallas – Bryanna Vs The World is kinda boring.
You could peek at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create article headlines to get people to
open the links. You might add a related video
or a related pic or two to grab people excited about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it would make
your blog a little bit more interesting.
Diese Inbound Links müssen Sinn machen (und nicht nur
zu dem zufälligen Stückchen Inhalt asyndetisch
führen). Ein Backlink aus einer vertrauenswürdigen Site mit einer hohen Domain-Autorität
ist wichtig. “’) sagen den Suchmaschinen-Crawlern das Gegenteil und hindern den Fluss der Link Equity. ” enthalten. Vor allem ist es ein Signal ein bisschen weniger Site Crawler, diesem Link zur entsprechenden Website zu folgen. Backlinks sind eine besonders wichtige Komponente
von SEO. Diese Inbound Links zu erstellen kann schwieriger sein als man vermuten mag.
Vergessen Sie nicht, dass Google bei jeder künstlichen Link-Aktivität höchst misstrauisch
ist und Websites mit Backlinks bestraft, die nicht organisch wirken wie oder mit einem irrelevanten Inhalt verlinkt sind – wir raten Ihnen jedoch, Links
verfügbar oder auf zweifelhafte Strategien zurückzugreifen, wenns um eingehende Links geht.
Es herrscht durchaus wahrscheinlich, dass der Schuss
rückwärts losgeht und Ihr Ranking beeinträchtigt wird.
Stattdessen sehen Sie sich das aktuelle Backlink-Profil Ihrer Website
an und suchen Sie nach beschädigten Links, die behoben werden müssen – ein einfacher Weg
für eine bessere SEO, während Sie daran arbeiten, Backlinks hoher Domain-Authoritäten von anderen Sites zu erhalten. Dazu sollten Sie existierende Beziehungen Ihrer Marke untersuchen und
prüfen, ob es dort Möglichkeiten gibt, einen Backlink zu
erhalten – vielleicht mit einem Gastblog oder einem Artikel, der
mit einem der Artikel Ihrer Website verlinkt werden kann (um
weiteren Kontext zur Frage zu bieten).

The sketch is tasteful, your authored material stylish.
nonetheless, you command get bought an edginess over that you wish be delivering the following.
unwell unquestionably come further formerly
again since exactly the same nearly a lot often inside case you shield this hike.
Seit Mitte Juli liegt die auch R-Wert genannte Ansteckungsrate wieder häufig über 1 und
id est, dass sich der Pool an Infizierten wieder
sukzessive vergrößert. Nicht wirklich schnell wie im Frühjahr, aber je länger der leichte Anstieg andauert,
umso größer ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit,
dass doch wieder Fallzahlen deutlich oberhalb der 2000er-Marke zustande kommen. Entsprechend verharren die täglich registrierten Todesfallzahlen seit
Juni auf einem sehr niedrigen Niveau im meist einstelligen Bereich.
Sollte das Virus aber aus der Gruppe der Unter-35-Jährigen heraus wieder seinen Weg hin zu den Älteren finden, können auch die aktuell niedrigen Todesfallzahlen erneut ansteigen. Wo genau
infizieren sich die Menschen hiermit Coronavirus?
Zum Vergleich: Im Frühjahr wurden täglich so weit wie 250
Todesfälle durch oder mit Corona-Infektionen gemeldet. Nach Schätzung des RKI steckte im April
ein Covid-19-Infizierter im Schnitt vier weitere Personen an. Dieser Wert sank bis Juni auf Werte
deutlich unter 1. Daraus ergibt sich, dass damals die Zahl der Infizierten von Tag zu
Tag abnahm. Dann wird man einen weiteren Vergleich ziehen können – nämlich den, wie das Gesundheitssystem im
Vergleich zum Frühjahr mit den hohen Fallzahlen zurechtkommt.
Dass Sars-CoV-2 der Sprung zwischen den Altersgruppen diesmal vielleicht nicht so schnell gelingt, dafür spricht
die Ansteckungsrate.
