There’s one obsession that binds Bharatiya Nari from Kashmir to Kanyakumari—and no, it’s not filmi heroes, daily soaps, or scrolling reels. It’s the humble DABBA.
Across kitchens, dabbas rule! Steel ones engraved with “From Mrs. Sharma & Fly”, “Sow. Kumari Devi” etc. borrowed Tupperware, fancy glass jars, and even that “Dubai-imported exclusive”—each one is priceless. Har rasoi ki rani ka asli shaan hai dabba. Yehi hai kahaani, ghar ghar ki.
Desh ki naari sab pe baari.
Now imagine politics. In a country with 105 to 180 million women primarily running households—picture all of them coming together to launch the biggest political movement ever.
Pesh hai...THE DABBA PARTY.
Motto?“Dabba ki ghar wapsi mein hi hai desh ki sukh-shanti.”
Because it’s proven—if the dabba doesn’t return home, peace is impossible. Na ghar ka chain, na desh ka sukoon!
“Kumbh Mela mein ghum ho gaya” is NOT a valid excuse.
A missing dabba means a family-level crisis. If Bunty’s office doesn’t send back the green-lid box, understand—Maa ki neend gayi aur Bunty ki shaanti bhi. Neighbours, colony aunties and entire households have witnessed these national disasters. And every member will be interrogated responsibly:
“Woh meri steel wali dabba kahan hai? Naam likha hai uspar!”
And remember—no dabba should ever return empty.“Khaali dabba wapas dena sanskriti ka apmaan hai!”Even if it’s just two spoons of sugar, it’s a sign of sweet victory and maa ke sanskaar.
Picture rallies of homemakers, badges reading “Vote for Dabba Party.” Slogans echoing through the gallis: “Dabba wapas lao, ghar bachaao, desh mein sukh-shanti failao!”The manifesto is simple:Respect. Return. Refill.
The Dabba Party doesn’t discriminate—steel, plastic, glass, or imported Chintu Bhaiya special—sab equal.
Aa ab laut chalen…
Next time you open the kitchen shelf and see a labelled dabba waiting to go home, remember to salute the real leaders of the nation—the women of the Dabba Party.
BEWARE: Anyone caught in a dabba scam will be prosecuted under the “abba dabba jabba” act.
An Appeal to the Nation
Ek zimmedar nagrik baniye, desh me sukh-shanti banaye rakhiye,aur Dabba Party ko vote dijiye!Dabba ki ghar wapsi se hi ghar me shaanti,aur ghar ki shaanti se hi toh desh khush rehta hai.

Dabba is one of the few words my ABCD kids understand!
Lovely .. well written reminds me of my school days when my dabba used to go missing and then the tandav
Hilarious but so true! Visit back to your Mom’s place and the first question she asks- “woh dabba lai?” Steel toh samjhe, plastic se koi kaise kar sakta hai itna pyaar??
Like hostel wardens, they remember whether all Bachhas..err…dabbas returned home by EOD.
Its the truth . Well written
Appreciate this piece—dabbas truly hold a special place for Indian moms, almost like a gift wrap for the love they send to their children.
