After the downpour of information regarding Mumbai’s Dabbawallas, in the last few years, Shobha Bondre’s translated version of Marathi title by Shalaka Walimbe, was recently released by Westland. Much like the simple dabbawalas, the narrative unassumingly weaves you in into a rich world of locale, people and most importantly, an ethos that is fundamentally basic to life. Succinct, straightforward and honest, the book is an endearing narrative that is divided between the famous Marathi author — Shobha Bondre and the head of Nutan Mumbai Tiffin Box Suppliers — Raghunath Medge.
