Year 03 | Volume 02 | March 2021 Dear Colleagues, The year 2021 is turning out to be a testament of Maha Metro’s excellence in executing Mass Rapid Transit projects as can be seen from the multiple new projects recently awarded to us. We have been rewarded for our hard work with the sanction of Nagpur Metro Phase–II & Nashik Metro Neo and also with the opportunity to complete balance works of Navi Mumbai Metro Line-1. These are just new beginnings with many more additional responsibilities to come. The sanction of Phase - II of Nagpur Metro Project is an endorsement of the good work done by us over last 6 years & is a matter of great pride for us. It is very rare that Phase-II of a project gets sanctioned even before completion of Phase-I. Nagpur city is attaining new heights and Maha-Metro is happy to be a part of the process. It is also a matter of great pride for us that our concept of Metro Neo has been • MD’s Message given recognition by the Union government as a new MRT system to be • Sanction of Nagpur Metro implemented in cities having a Peak Hour Peak Direction Trac (PHPDT) of less than 10,000.

I declare that my thesis consists of 98896 words. 2 Abstract This Ph.D. examines how commuters in Mumbai, India, negotiate their sense of being and wellbeing through their engagements with food in the city. It focuses on the widespread practice of eating homemade lunches in the workplace, important for commuters to replenish mind and body with foods that embody their specific family backgrounds, in a society where religious, caste, class, and community markers comprise complex dietary regimes. Eating such charged substances in the office canteen was essential in reproducing selfhood and social distinction within Mumbai’s cosmopolitan environment.
