We often meet strangers who profoundly affect our lives in a brief interaction. Here’s what happened to Twitter user Sumit Meghani, who had “the most inspiring experience” of his life while riding a taxi in heavy Bengaluru traffic.
Mr Meghani called it a “Peak Bengaluru” moment and said he started talking to his taxi driver while navigating Bengaluru traffic, who told him how he found purpose in his work. It involved a ride he kept rejecting and an emergency delivery to a pregnant woman, according to the now-viral Twitter thread.
In a Twitter thread, Mr Meghani mentioned that the taxi driver was the family’s sole breadwinner and had been driving for 17 years.
His tweet read, “This hard-working driver has been supporting his family as the sole breadwinner for 17 years. But what he shared about what motivates him to keep going all night left me in.”
“One night he got a ride request that he tried to avoid because of the distance and the late hour. But the ride kept getting reassigned to him. When he arrived, he found out it was an emergency delivery. Without hesitation, they rushed to the hospital “They arrived to find no doctors on duty. They quickly rushed to another hospital and arrived just in time for the baby’s birth,” Meghani wrote.
