Americans are constantly worried about the power of government. The bigger danger is that we can’t get even basic things done - roads, bridges, masks, cotton swabs, voting, processing unemployment benefits, sending citizens money during a crisis.

the dabbawalas make fewer than 3.4 mistakes per million transactions
. With deliveries to and from roughly 200,000 customers each day that translates to little more than 400 delayed or missing dabbas in a year. ........ Dabbawalas are waved through by members of the public and traffic police alike. “If you see a dabbawalla in the street, you will give way” ......... This complex series of exchanges relies onan esoteric alphanumeric code scrawled on each lunchbox
– indecipherable to the uninitiated but designed to be easily understood by all dabbawalas. ............ A dabbawalas’ commitment to the job is partly because it pays well – roughly 12,000 rupees (£140) a month, a good salary in India for what is essentially unskilled labour. ......... And as a cooperative all dabbawalas are equal partners with supervisors called mukadams who are elected. ............ how to navigate Mumbai. The way Google Maps divides the city into neighbourhoods does not take traffic into account, but years of experience had taught the dabbawalas where the bottlenecks were. “No other system has this level of data for each locality" ......... Dabbawalas are not afraid to embrace new opportunities, however. They are talking to Indian e-commerce giant Flipkart about carrying out last-mile deliveries. And one group is working with start-up Raw Pressery to deliver health juices on-demand. .......... Profits from these newer ventures are bumping the dabbawalas’ salaries up from 12,000 to 20,000 rupees a month ......... the dabbawalas’ spiritual connection to the job will always give them an edge. "New companies give their customers good offers but they’re just interested in capturing the market,” he says. "The dabbawalas have deeper reasons for doing it. Serving their customers is like serving their god.”अतिक्रमित क्षेत्रमा सशस्त्र प्रहरी पठाएर राजधानीको सडकमा सेना : श्रीमतीलाई अस्पताल राखेर ब्लड बैंक हिँडेका वृद्धलाई नांगै बनाइयो
