過去簡單式

孟買繁忙的達巴瓦拉人曾經是這座繁華都市的生命線，如今卻在為維持生計而掙扎。

他是印度金融之都孟買的 5000 名 Dabbawalas 之一。

Dabbawala in English translates to lunchbox men.

Before the Covid-19 pandemic hit, they used to feed the bustling city, but now they are struggling to feed themselves.

在 "Covid-19 "大流行之前，他們曾經為這座繁華的城市提供食物，但現在他們卻在為養活自己而掙扎。

賈格塔普與妻子和兩個孩子住在一間小房子裡，生活越來越困難。

While private offices have opened up once again, the demand for packed lunches are not the same as pre-Covid.

雖然私人辦公室再次開放，但對便當的需求卻與科維德事件前不可同日而語。

Before Covid-19, two years ago, I used to get salary of Rs 15-16,000 per month, now that income has come down to only Rs 7-8,000 per month, this is due to less customer demand, two years ago, we had a great business delivering 25 tiffins a day which has now come down to only 4-5 a day, I live with.

兩年前，在 Covid-19 之前，我的月薪是 15-16,000 盧比，現在月薪降到了 7-8,000 盧比，這是因為客戶需求減少了，兩年前，我們的生意很好，一天能送 25 份 Tiffins，現在降到了一天只有 4-5 份。

Maybe because of them, I am going to earn, children are growing up, it is less, college, both of them fee, food and drink is very difficult because inflation has become so high, work is not going well.

也許是因為他們，我去掙錢了，孩子長大了，少了，上大學了，兩個人都費了，吃喝都很困難，因為通貨膨脹變得很高，工作也不順利。

Home work is also, someone is calling, till now no one is calling, I mean.

家裡的工作也是，有人打電話來，我是說到現在還沒有人打電話來。

The business of delivering tiffin boxes is an old one, it dates back to the 1890s.

送鐵盒子的生意歷史悠久，可以追溯到 19 世紀 90 年代。

When the Parsi and British communities living in Mumbai were in the need of convenient tiffin delivery services.

當時，居住在孟買的帕西人和英國人需要方便的鐵板燒配送服務。

The men who collected, organized and transported these lunches came to be called the Dabbawalas.

收集、組織和運送這些午餐的人被稱為 "達巴瓦拉"。

Before lockdown, people like Machindra delivered piping hot lunches to over 200,000 customers in a day.

在封鎖之前，像馬辛德拉這樣的人一天要為 20 多萬顧客送去熱氣騰騰的午餐。

Some customers they so told us now we are not we don't want the service because we we are working from home more than 20 to 30% of customers are working from home.

有些客戶告訴我們，現在我們不想要這項服務了，因為我們在家工作，有 20% 至 30% 的客戶在家工作。

And out of this 100% customer 10 to 15% customer they are school children, the school was stops, people are working from home, small business total total collapse.

在這 100%的客戶中，有 10%到 15%的客戶是在校學生，學校停課，人們在家工作，小企業全面崩潰。

So we were getting the response from the customers very low like 5%, 3%.

是以，我們從客戶那裡得到的迴應非常低，只有 5%、3%。

So on that time only 200 people were Dabbawalas from Dabbawalas they were started the service.

是以，當時只有 200 名達巴瓦拉人從達巴瓦拉人那裡開始了服務。

So 200, 300 then one by one, one by one customer rises, Dabbawalas rises, now today only 7 to 800 Dabbawalas are working on ground level.

現在，只有 7 到 800 名 Dabbawalas 在地面工作。

Still 4,300 Dabbawalas are ready to get back to their work but but the customer response is very very low so because of that we are not allowing them.
