A Bengaluru woman auto driver has gone viral for her passion, dedication, and love for her work. Unable to afford a car, she chose driving an auto and inspires many with her courage, happiness, and commitment to her profession.
Bengaluru: Driving an auto for a living is still a male-dominated profession in many cities, but female auto drivers are gradually breaking stereotypes. In Bengaluru, one young woman has captured attention for her courage, determination, and love for driving. Despite financial constraints preventing her from buying a car, she invested in an auto and now drives happily, inspiring passengers and onlookers alike with her bold decisions and positive outlook.
Educated But Chose An Auto
Tamanna Tanweer, a Bengaluru resident, recently booked an auto and was pleasantly surprised to find it driven by a woman. Excited by the experience, she struck up a conversation. The driver, despite being educated and fluent in English, explained her choice: “I love driving. I drive any vehicle, including autos, cars, and bikes. But I could only afford an auto within my budget. I didn’t have the money to buy a Swift or any other car, so I chose to work as an auto driver.”
Driving With Happiness, Not Pressure
The driver shared her philosophy about work: “I wanted to see if I could make a living driving an auto first, and maybe buy a car later. I am completely happy with what I do. There’s no pressure of Monday blues or office deadlines. I work every day with the same energy and happiness.”
Courage Reassured Family
