Tiffin carriers or dabbas are a kind of lunch box used widely in India for tiffin meals. They were also used in Singapore and Malaysia during the 1950s-60s, and were known as tingkat. Normally they come in two to three tiers. Tiffin carriers are opened by unlocking a small catch on either side of the handle, then removing it. In the Indian city of Mumbai there is a complex and efficient, yet low-tech system of delivery workers who deliver hot lunches packed in dabbas to city office-workers from their suburban homes or from a caterer by delivery teams known as dabbawalas.
Tiffin carriers are generally made out of steel, but enamel versions have been made by European companies. They can keep food warm for at least two or three hours.
I'm living in a dark and dying day
And everything is lost along the way
the feeling in my heart is not the same
so what's to say?
The pictures of the past are on the wall
they'll hang there in the dark until they fall
forever I've been lost in long ago
and it seems so long to let live a life that I don't live no more
and in the saddened sun my life leaves a shadow that'll soon be gone
I'm standing in the grave I wait to bleed
been tearing out my tongue in misery
been choking on the weight of my mistakes
though I can't change
and it seems so long to let live a life that I don't live no more
and in the saddened sun my life leaves a shadow that'll soon be gone
and all I want is one more second chance
I live my life under a trance
been blinded by the pain of my regret
wasted life reliving yesterday
I'm living in a dark and dying day
And everything is lost along the way
the feeling in my heart is not the same
