If you are looking for a motivation to achieve an overdue goal, a  woman working as a taxi driver has shared her inspiring story with the popular social media page, ‘Humans of Bombay’, which is a must read. She shared how she was encouraged by her husband to take up the job as she told him, “A woman can do everything that a man can.”

She explains how she was influenced by her mother to be independent and took up odd jobs to make a living, before she came across a newspaper report about women being able to apply for taxi permits. “The opportunity was too good! So I passed the driving test & bought a taxi with my own money. My husband was very supportive & said, ‘This taxi is under your name, you need to learn how to drive it!’ Within a few months, I joined the fleet,” she said.
