The word ' Tiffin' comes from a British Indian word meaning 'light lunch'. In Mumbai, the word mostly refers to packed lunches, prepared for working Indian men by their wives after they have left for work, or for schoolchildren by their parents. In Mumbai thousands of Tiffin boxes are delivered to their destinations by 'Tiffin wallahs', using a highly complex system. It truly is a wonder to behold how the thousands of unaddressed Tiffin's somehow reach their final destinations.
