Tiffination
Indians are taking over the world!! The Times reports that Mumbai's dhabbawallas are making inroads in the Bay Area and New York. Admittedly, the U.S. version of the lunch-delivery system lacks the elegance of the original, a 120-year-old trade in which men transport some 200,000 tiffins (lunch boxes), prepared by mothers or wives or kitchen servants, to office workers in downtown Mumbai. Over here, it's just a glorified, home-cooked take-out service. But the article does confirm one thing I've been telling my friends for years: restaurant Indian food cannot compare to Mom's.
