Mumbai is a bustling city filled with countless interesting stories and people. However, what caught my attention the most were the Dabbawalas, a group of lunchbox deliverymen who have been flawlessly delivering meals to people across the city for over a century. These men use an incredibly efficient delivery system, with each lunchbox being passed through multiple hands and modes of transportation, yet arriving at its destination on time and intact. I was fascinated by the precise organization and teamwork these men displayed, and how their work has become a symbol of the city's culture and identity.
