hi guys
I don't know if you guys are familiar with the popular "mumbai dabawallas"
it is a unique system which has been working for so many years now
this bunch of people called the dabawallas deliver home cooked food to tens of thousands of people everyday in mumbai
A documentary was featured on them in the Forbes Magazine
recently two of the dabawallas were invited to Prince charles wedding
this is a great story

happy baisakhi to all of you and especially to Tina(hopeful) and her mom who is also a regular visitor to the SDN India Forum

^ Don't forget the Shava Shava!!!

And yeah. I've heard of the dabawallas. Saw the documentary too. Very interesting too.

Ya- I suggest the Dabbawallas be given the Indian Government to run!! They will sure do a better work!!!


And ye- Happy Baisakhi to all!!- is the spelling ok??

..thanks for the wishes..i didn't even know today was baisakhi...
i've been having a terrible time juggling all the college work..it's been the worst week ever.... and its not over yet...i have to present my research at a conference this saturday...and i'm so not ready... i mean i am prepared...but not ready... Its a big deal to me...i so want to do it well....Pray for me you guys.... plzzzz

I hope all goes well for you Tina! Best of luck on your presentation, I am sure you will do great. One advice I can give you is to practise saying your stuff, outloud, just so you hear everything that comes out. And time yourself (if necessary). And most importantly, stay .

And the whole "Dabbawalla", they are the people who transport lunches across Mumbai in a timely and efficient manner.

Good luck

Dabbawallas are the lunchbox delivery men of Bombay- they collect the lunch boxes from all different parts- code them according to the area they are to be delivered at and deliver them at the time- there is rarely any fault in the sense of misplacement in the delivery, or never are they late! They are a very efficiently running organization run by mostly illiterate people!

I am very much familiar with the system because I am one of the dabbawala's customer. I can assure u people that system works and i havent had single incident of misplaced dabba in my three years experience

hopeful05 said:

That's amazing....I takes alot for a machinery with human parts to work smoothly because of well..the obvious human faults...
I guess such operations are run in other cities too..but on a much smaller scale...
Oh..and i PM' ed you back

Click to expand...

Ya- such systems do work in other cities- but may be not as big scale as in Bombay- and may be not as efficient too!! Or may be everything about Bombay gets more Glamorised!
got the PM

^ graduating soon, haven't been accepted anywhere yet, and right now I'm seriously considering the Carribean. I don't want to go to Phillidelphia/or stay in Toronto to do a Masters for 2 years, only to reapply all over again. I prefer to start now, and if I am destined to go, I will be posting more pics of that beach you've been dreaming about (one friend is already there, and he took those pics) .


I have been keeping faith that something will work out for me, and that I am destined to be in a certain place, for a certain reason. Faith in the unknown can be considered both sane and insane to so many people. But hey, we all have a little of both inside us, don't we? So call me a pagal, and I won't mind .

^ If I find it, then I'll send you some pics, k?

hopeful05 said:

3 more days and you're all done!!! Goodluck

^ Thanks to both of you, BUT.... from my post, you could see how excited I was right?? Well, it looks like I got a bit excited and made myself think that the 28th is on Wednesday, when in fact, its on the Thursday. I had a friend of mine email me, and and the end of it, she said that she'd see me on Thursday.... So I checked the exam schedule one more time, and she was right. Geeez, I got some more studying time.

It does´nt make it any better, take my word!

I'm an american diluted desai - not confused about jack !


Anyway, I had some questions that weren't worthy of a new thread. My family is from A.P. so you might get an understanding of why I am naive about this stuff.

2. what is a sindhi?
3. What is a sardarni?

Lucknow, April 23: Munnabhai MBBS has spawned a sequel in Meerut.

Two real-life Munnabhais landed in the police station yesterday for trying to fake their way into a postgraduate course for surgery in Lucknow's King George Medical College.

Prakash Rajput and Rakesh Kumar, both medical graduates like the do-gooder don played by Sanjay Dutt in the film Munnabhai MBBS, were caught red-handed by invigilators at a counselling session at Meerut Medical College.

In the film, Munnabhai cheats at entry-level and subsequently yearly exams to become a doctor but chooses to cure patients by hugs.

Rajput and Kumar, graduates from Lucknow Medical College, had appeared for the postgraduate medical entrance examination earlier this month and were ranked 10th and 17th among the 303 selected from a total of 1,000 candidates who sat for the tests.

But their luck ran out when the duo, who had opted for surgery, put their thumb impressions with a micro-plastic sheet on their thumb. When the invigilators caught them, they tried to swallow the plastic sheets.

Rajput is from Lucknow and Kumar is from Varanasi.

It is suspected the two "academically brilliant candidates" managed such high ranks by hiring dummy examinees.

"It was a neat operation of paper manipulation by the ‘Munnabhais' who hired bright postgraduate doctors to appear for the entrance examinations," a senior doctor said, adding that such candidates manufacture alternative admit cards complete with photographs of the hired doctors.

To prevent such manipulation, the postgraduate medical council has introduced the system of taking thumb impressions of each candidate, both at the written entrance test and the counselling session.

"We suspect the two MBBS doctors used micro-plastic sheets to hide their thumb impressions because the hired doctors who actually appeared for the entrance test might have used the micro-plastic sheets, too, before sitting for the test on their behalf," said Dr Kamal Sahani, director of medical education, government of Uttar Pradesh.

Sources said dummy candidates, who are senior doctors, are available for anything between Rs 2,000 and Rs 50,000 per paper.
