Jayaram is the Managing Director of Ravali Auto Parts Pvt. Ltd. When he landed in Hyderabad from Singapore where he went for a business meet, he straighway went to Hatti Coffee shop and sipped a cup of hot coffee. After finishing coffee, he is in a mind to give a call to his driver to bring his car to the airport as the flight was unusually delayed due to a technical snag developed in Singapore. When he was about to call, he heard a female taxi driver offering her services. He recently read an article in Economic Times sometime ago about the lives of female taxi drivers and determined to help one of them. This is the first time he encountered a lady cab driver. He helped himself in putting his luggage in the boot and sat in passenger's seat in front. When he asked, she told her name, Malavika. He introduced himself and they had a conversation about her family during the journey. When they reached home Jayaram got down, took the luggage out and handed over to Kumbhu the caretaker of the house. He went to Malavika to settle the bill. But he found her leaning against the steering wheel. He called her name twice but she would not respon. When he touched her, she fell on the passenger seat. He therefore rushed her to the hospital where she took time to recover.
“Insights on love, pleasure, fate, and other topics” collected from conversations with New York City cabbies (AM New York). The worse a town’s economy is, the better looking the guys who work at the local gas station are. I see more of what is going on around me because I am not concerned with finding a parking place. There is no chivalry. For that you have to go upstate. Real taxi drivers know more than how to get you there without a GPS—often, they know how to get you there in life. This twentieth anniversary edition of the wise and hilarious classic, as true now as ever, is a celebration of the witty, philosophical perspective on human nature culled from real quotations from real cab drivers who’ve been around the block.
Using information derived from research and interviews with cab drivers, Vidich has written a basic work on New York City cab drivers (hacks) that also provides passengers (fares) with a survival manual. Cab drivers are quoted by newspaper columnists, politicians, and at dinner parties; yet a hard look at the profession and its role in the transportation system of the city has been completely lacking. Vidich brings out in clear language the conflicts between the cab driver's position as a dispenser of a public service and his needs as a working person subjected to violence and pressure. It is difficult to imagine a more enjoyable introduction to an industry whose members are a folk tradition. At the same time, this book provides insight into the history and sociology of an important urban institution. It is a book about cab drivers everywhere; and cab drivers and fares in all cities have a new handbook in this volume.
In her late 20s, Plaut decided to honor a long-held secret ambition by becoming a New York City taxi driver. With wit and insight, she recreates the crazy parade of humanity that passes through her cab and shows how this grueling work provides her with a greater sense of self.
Shortlisted for the Bressani Literary Prize • A Globe and Mail Book of the Year • A CBC Books Best Canadian Nonfiction of 2021 In conversations with drivers ranging from veterans of foreign wars to Indigenous women protecting one another, Di Cintio explores the borderland of the North American taxi. “The taxi,” writes Marcello Di Cintio, “is a border.” Occupying the space between public and private, a cab brings together people who might otherwise never have met—yet most of us sit in the back and stare at our phones. Nowhere else do people occupy such intimate quarters and share so little. In a series of interviews with drivers, their backgrounds ranging from the Iraqi National Guard, to the Westboro Baptist Church, to an arranged marriage that left one woman stranded in a foreign country with nothing but a suitcase, Driven seeks out those missed conversations, revealing the unknown stories that surround us. Travelling across borders of all kinds, from battlefields and occupied lands to midnight fares and Tim Hortons parking lots, Di Cintio chronicles the many journeys each driver made merely for the privilege to turn on their rooflight. Yet these lives aren’t defined by tragedy or frustration but by ingenuity and generosity, hope and indomitable hard work. From night school and sixteen-hour shifts to schemes for athletic careers and the secret Shakespeare of Dylan’s lyrics, Di Cintio’s subjects share the passions and triumphs that drive them. Like the people encountered in its pages, Driven is an unexpected delight, and that most wondrous of all things: a book that will change the way you see the world around you. A paean to the power of personality and perseverance, it’s a compassionate and joyful tribute to the men and women who take us where we want to go.
Cabdrivers and their yellow taxis are as much a part of the cityscape as the high-rise buildings and the subway. We hail them without thought after a wearying day at the office or an exuberant night on the town. And, undoubtedly, taxi drivers have stories to tell—of farcical local politics, of colorful passengers, of changing neighborhoods and clandestine shortcuts. No one knows a city’s streets—and thus its heart—better than its cabdrivers. And from behind the wheel of his taxi, Dmitry Samarov has seen more of Chicago than most Chicagoans will hope to experience in a lifetime. An artist and painter trained at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Samarov began driving a cab in 1993 to make ends meet, and he’s been working as a taxi driver ever since. In Hack: Stories from a Chicago Cab, he recounts tales that will delight, surprise, and sometimes shock the most seasoned urbanite. We follow Samarov through the rhythms of a typical week, as he waits hours at the garage to pick up a shift, ferries comically drunken passengers between bars, delivers prostitutes to their johns, and inadvertently observes drug deals. There are long waits with other cabbies at O’Hare, vivid portraits of street corners and their regular denizens, amorous Cubs fans celebrating after a game at Wrigley Field, and customers who are pleasantly surprised that Samarov is white—and tell him so. Throughout, Samarov’s own drawings—of his fares, of the taxi garage, and of a variety of Chicago street scenes—accompany his stories. In the grand tradition of Nelson Algren, Saul Bellow, Mike Royko, and Studs Terkel, Dmitry Samarov has rendered an entertaining, poignant, and unforgettable vision of Chicago and its people.
This cheerful, inspiring book will introduce you to some of the wonderful people living in Israel, from bus drivers to housewives. Like its predecessor, this second volume of real-life vignettes opens a window onto the charm and miracles of daily life in the Holy Land.
This book is a real life story about the beauty of life when you have a wonderful income, which ultimately gave me a glamorous lifestyle. I had a lavished apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where I was always entertaining my friends and their friends. Sometimes my friends and I would use limousine just for the night out. At the end of my company contract and after about another six months without income, I sold my condominium at a reasonable price and relocated to Jersey City in New Jersey. I lived in a spacious apartment for another five months without income, then I decided to drive a yellow cab. I went to TLC for my hack license to enable me to drive a taxi. I registered with a taxi company in Brooklyn, and I became a taxi driver. Driving the taxi and continuing my job hunting at the same time was daunting. With too many summonses from police officers and TLC inspectors within a period of about four years taxi driving, my license was revoked. No more taxi driving, no more income. And my life became too miserable.
This book will point out a lot of mysteries and facts about some of the people that lives here. Some good and some not so good but they all make a point in life and how it's being live by that individual. Thats what so fascinating about this while sanerrio. Also this book will tell how God works in some of these sanerrios for the good of people and how we as a person has been destroying our own selves for many years in the past and blaming it on Satan the easy way out, but if we were strong in our faith there wouldn't be a Satan. So as you read this book your understanding should clear up a bit, on how things are suppose to be done in life as we live; and also how to become a great fishermen on knowledge and the understanding of it. To me thats the glory and i am the cab driver and I believe in the truth. So read this book of "glory of a cab driver" and be bless from now on. Yours truly, David Jenkins
