An employee at Amazon in Bengaluru has shared an inspiring interaction with a woman auto-rickshaw driver, whose thoughts on work and independence have resonated with millions online.
The story was shared by Shreyashi Sinha on Instagram through a video featuring the woman driving her auto while speaking about freedom, flexibility and earning independently.
Casual ride turns into meaningful conversation
According to Sinha, the driver arrived to pick her up but was facing difficulties with her phone and requested help with navigation during the journey. What started as an ordinary ride eventually led to a deeper discussion about the woman’s profession and life choices.
Curious about her journey, Sinha asked the driver why she chose to drive an auto-rickshaw. The woman responded with honesty and confidence, leaving a lasting impression on her passenger.
She wrote, “Today, a lady auto driver came to pick me up. She was facing some issue with her phone, so she asked me to guide her with the directions. While casually talking to her, I asked what made her choose driving an auto. She smiled and said, 'Bartan majne se toh accha hai auto chalana, kyuki mujhe ghumna bhi pasand hai aur yahan time ka bhi koi restriction nahi hai jitna marzi, jab marzi auto chala sakti hu aur kahin bhi ja sakti hu. I genuinely admire women who chooses work that gives her independence, and freedom.”
