For Hire

I got this forwarded to me on Facebook. I was really moved and so happy to see this report. To summarize, a cab driver in Rawalpindi, Pakistan wrote a simple book on his experiences as a taxi driver and the people he met along. He writes about the socio-political turmoil the society suffers and his optimistic viewpoint on how to deal with a hard life. Its so touching to hear something like this when Pakistani middle and lower classes live a hand-to-mouth existence.



These black yellow cabs are such a Rawalpindi/Islamabad phenomena. You never see them anywhere else. They practically are iconic of the twin cities!
