Lunch and lunchboxes

Earlier my brother used to take a big lunch box with him. That was the time when my nephew was quite young and had just started speaking. One day I asked him where his daddy was "Office" came the reply. I probed a little further "Why does he go to office". Now this is a question he did not expect and based on his observation he replied "To eat lunch".

I am talking about lunch boxes because this reminds me of one of the difference between the people in Delhi and Bombay. People in Delhi are almost embarrased to carry their lunch. They would like to carry a box as small as possible and they would keep it in the bag. It is almost like they are smuggling their lunch. On the other jhand people in Bombay have no such problem and I have seen people carrying two bags. One bag is the usuall office bag and the other is a bag that has all the food they are going to eat during the day. It is not just the lunch but some snack for the evening and in some cases even breakfast.
