An auto-rickshaw driver in Bengaluru is capturing the public’s attention for his heartwarming initiative to promote reading and provide a unique experience for passengers. Transforming his vehicle into a "mini library," the driver has created a small, yet thoughtfully curated collection of books. With titles like "Why Divorce?" and "God Loves You," the rickshaw offers a wholesome experience of philosophical and spiritual reading material.
Passengers are invited to explore these thought-provoking books during their ride, with a note that reads, "Free for all, take if you wish." This gesture has garnered praise online, highlighting the driver’s commitment to spreading knowledge and kindness in his community.
The photo of this mini library on wheels was shared on Linkedin by Ravilla Lokesh after a friend brought it to his attention.
The post reads, "Bangalore Style! Only in Bengaluru can you find life advice and philosophical wisdom handed out for free… in an autorickshaw! While stuck in traffic, my friend stumbled upon this mini-library on wheels. From "Why Divorce?" to "God Loves You," this auto driver is doubling as a life coach, counsellor, and spiritual guide, all while navigating Bengaluru's chaotic roads.”
“So, what’s the most innovative or inspiring thing you’ve encountered in your daily life? Let’s share some stories! He further added.
The initiative by this auto rickshaw driver has garnered a lot of attention and appreciation for blending public service with thoughtful action. This action marks how small actions can make a big difference in day-to-day life. Some called this effort the 'Peak Bengaluru' moment while the other said, "Bangalore's vibes are wild. Is an auto driver giving life lessons? Classic. I'd say that's pure Bengaluru spirit right there. What about those random chai stalls serving wisdom too, huh?''
A few days back another initiative by an auto driver in Bengaluru took the city by surprise and turned him into a viral sensation. Samuel Christy, a graduate who works as an auto driver, caught the public's attention when he displayed a unique poster on the back of his seat.
The poster, inviting passengers to discuss his business idea, read: "Hi passenger, my name is Samuel Christy. I'm a graduate looking to raise funds for my startup business idea. If you are interested, please talk to me." His creative approach to seeking support for his entrepreneurial venture touched many, showcasing both his resourcefulness and determination to pursue his dreams.
