Hi, I’m Varsha, your driver! In my early growing up years, I was mainly occupied by household chores – as how a society and my family expects a woman to be. Even my mother didn’t have big dreams for me and doubted my abilities to do anything else. However, within the monotony of the daily routine, a dream sparked in me – a desire for something more, a craving for freedom and an extraordinary life. It’s been two years now since I became a woman driver. Every challenge on this journey, every doubtful look I received, fueled my determination to do something different. I remember my mother saying, “This job isn’t for you; you’re good at household chores. Training as a driver is a waste of time.” My brother doubted, “You’re too short; who will hire you as a driver?” But now, their appreciation and happiness bring me ultimate joy. The wheels I control carry not just a vehicle’s weight but also the weight of breaking conventional expectations. Reflecting on my journey and being considered a blessing in my family is an incredible feeling. I recall telling my mom that she could stop working as a domestic helper, assuring her it was time to rest. As the main provider, I took on the responsibility of caring for my siblings’ needs. I could only study till 10th grade, but both my siblings have gone to college and are now employed. Today, I’ve rented a flat in a decent part of Delhi, and I aspire to buy our own home one day. From what people expected of me to becoming a driver who is not afraid of exploring roads even in the darkest part of the city at nights I keep going on, showing that determination can change destinies. I want every woman to feel inspired and challenge norms, overcome obstacles, and follow their dreams.
