EVERY person moving around on Planet Earth has a story to share. All of them might not be as engaging but some really are.
A person named Nikhil Seth recently had such an experience. A resident of Bengaluru, India’s information technology capital, Seth recently booked a Rapido bike taxi — which is provided by an Indian company headquartered in the same city — to go somewhere. During his journey, he got into a friendly chat with the vehicle’s rider. During the conversation, Seth got to know why the person rode the bike taxi and what he learned was something unique. Seth shared the story on his social media wall and it received a wide response from social-media users.
Seth said in a Twitter post that his Rapido driver was none but a software development engineer who works at Microsoft and he drove on weekends to talk to people and as a hobby.
My Rapido Driver today was an SDET at Microsoft & he told me that he drives just to talk to people and as a hobby on weekends. @peakbengaluru

Fascinating story, isn’t it?
Now, either the man is a real social animal who is never satisfied with interacting with people or a loner, who feels life is too suffocating by working with the machines for five days a week.
What do you feel?
Once my cab driver said he is a businessman and drives 3-4times a week just because his kids are too busy to talk to him!
Damn!! I was speechless
