Lugging Lunch with Love

From an article on the tiffinwallahs (lunch couriers) of Mumbai, India... men who daily deliver home-cooked meals to working folks via bicycle, handcart and commuter train:

They are generally hardworking and devout, and they view the act of feeding people as a noble job, "a social service," says Medge. "To deliver good, hot, fresh food is our first satisfaction."
