Royal invite for Mumbai lunch box carriers
What a super bit of news. The royal couple have invited 2 poor mumbai lunch box carriers for an all expenses paid visit to their wedding. For those who dont know about these lunch box carriers, they are a group of very poor men who transport thousands of lunch boxes from homes in suburban Mumbai to the offices in central mumbai. So the wife can cook at her leisure and the husband does not have to wait for the lunch to be ready when he leaves for work. It has been going on for more than 60 years and they have a 99.9 % accuracy rate in time and delivery. Just a PR stunt from Charles or very thoughtful as the mumbai men had done a whip round to send him a present. I think the latter.
