Saw the movie "stanley ka dabba" today. Total paisa vasool.
Got me thinking of the school days. The friendships and the camaraderie in school.
Anyone who has been to a school as a day scholar knows that lunch and the tiffin is the most important part of the day. The eternal wait to see what is in the tiffin: the excitement: the happiness or the disappointment.
The lunch plan would pan out something like this. On a average tiffin day, tiffin was supposed to be shared. Someone else with a better menu was to be recruited for sharing. If it was a bad tiffin day, then money had to be arranged, for a visit to the canteen. Also the tiffin had to be disposed by gifting to perenially hungry friends.
Yours truly had the honor of losing the most number of tiffins in any school by any student. But i guess if i had seen this movie earlier, i would never waste my tiffin. This is a must watch movie for school going kids. To make them value the privilege they have and something we and they take for granted always. Keep your eyes open for children who need your help. Your maids, your drivers, your peons all have a difficult existence. You never know, you might make someone's life beautiful.
