School ka 'Dabba'

The title of this post might remind many of us of the famous hindi movie, ‘Stanley ka Dabba’.The movie was about Stanley and his efforts of getting a perfect dabba to school. It indeed was a movie with a soul and lots of food. If we actually give it a thought then really school tiffins are very important. As a child I remember being bothered so much about my tiffin. My dabba was a matter of pride for me, better and yummier the food, cooler would I be in my class.

Every school child wishes to carry the yummiest dabba to school. For some its for their taste buds, for some its their hunger, and for some others its just a show-off of an awesome dabba and thus an awesome Mom. School tiffins need to be healthy and filling. Children spend a great amount of time in school. Hence the meal they have during school hours is important. Their energy level for the remaining day largely depends on their meal in school. I know of many schools which offer two recesses for the kids, and that’s how even a breakfast tiffin or a short break tiffin is carried by many kids.

Kids need the best of nutrition, hence I would say, ‘School ka dabba’ is the most important dabba and so should be given the most of all the attention.
