The big blue container is used as the lunch room for the workers building the Bandra Worli Sealink and the shiny stainless steel containers are their linch boxes or tiffins or 'dabbas' as they are known here. Am sure you can spot other utility containers in the picture too!

Always learning when blogging. Dabbas is the word today,
ReplyDeleteDid they bring the tiffins themselves, or were they couriered in by the tiffin wallahs?
ReplyDeleteGreat choice! I almost went with something very similar to this myself.
Psst! Did you mean to post your link at Thursday Challenge? It's up now!
ReplyDeleteLove all that bright blue. Makes a great organizational element for your photo.
ReplyDeleteLike Leora, I like the bright blue and the yellow is a wonderful contrast. Very colorful photo. The shinny tin colored tiffins really stand out.
ReplyDeleteI love this clever picture. It certainly fulfills the title: "Containers" very well.
ReplyDeleteAre the Dabas still brought by the men on bicycles from central locations(s)? Aloha & Namaste!
/\ Namaste!

That's a cool set of container shots. In the West, these shelves would be inside the house - but in Asia, most of life takes place outside.
ReplyDeleteMany is the time I've taken a bite from a worker's tiffin. They will ALWAYS share if you show an interest. Yummm!
ReplyDeleteI love it ! Very creative ! That's actually really cool Thanks.
