I was a rider most of the time last 2 years. Also, MM and I offered rides when we drove.
Quick Ride quickly became a platform for making new connections, network. Some of these turned to friendships.
I met wonderful people during these rides whom I may never forget.
While I was taking this as a rider, I met a variety of drivers. extroverts, introverts, no-nonsense people, punctual, and every other sort of person. I admired a few for their driving skills while I admired a few for their commitment.
When we started offering rides is when I really met really cool people. Since it gave a sort of freedom to talk to the people. The car rides were exciting these days. We discussed science with science enthusiasts Deepthi. It was understanding all about Jainism from Dhwani. MM, and I have a keen interest in Jainism. Also got a peek into RJs work from her friend who sometimes came along with her.
Got to know geeky GenZ kid Arvind and learned a lot about technology.
Met wonderful ladies Vanitha, Manjula, Gayathri, Navya, Preeti, Archana, and Asha. I was exposed to so many different perspectives as we carpooled together.
Of all, we met Sakthi Vel on these rides who is a real powerhouse. I will reserve a complete post of him as he is a man of many hats.
Quick Ride was surely enjoyable for both of us also it made me smarter in many ways. Staying far from the workplace has some advantages after all!
