According to a viral tweet by Nikhil Seth, he shared an old instance about a Microsoft worker who works as a Rapido driver on weekends to talk to new people.
It is common for corporate employees to feel 'exhausted' due to their mundane schedules. However, contrary to the 'notion' of hustle, people have started striking a healthy balance between their personal and professional lives.
People try to break the cobweb of monotony in different ways. While some people find solace in traveling, a few enroll in hobby classes to break the clutter.

Being a driver is a really interesting job. I often think how many kinds of things a driver must be listening while driving.
