Today I was walking downstairs in my apartment complex. It was fairly hot and humid. Mumbai at about 38 degrees. Get the drift?
As I am walking, I see a bike (Swiggy) park at the main gate and walk up to my wing to deliver a package. He has not removed his helmet, and he is wearing a mask on the inside.
As I looked into those eyes, I realized that he probably has a 10 time harder job than mine, with probably 10x lower pay. So a 100x difference between our conditions.
I still spend a decent amount of monies on groceries, rent, cars, and the ilk. I realized that I have such a good life.
The swiggy driver, it's possible, is where he is, because of lack of opportunity and lack of privilege.
His t-shirt was fully sweat-drenched, and he soon walked back to the gate and drove off.
I would not last in his job for more than an hr....and yet he does what he does, day in, day out....optimistic that tomorrow is another good day.
Thats the post.
