Every journey in life is unique, even the mundane ones that take us from point A to point B or point X to point Y. While riding in an Uber or taxi either for personal or professional reasons, Rakesh Gambhir approached each trip as an opportunity to converse with his drivers to distill the essence of people. But what he did not know is that the short conversations would also lead to unexpected personal discoveries.
In a collection of short tales inspired by his experiences, Gambhir reveals insight into his interactions with housewives, students, ex-cons, bootleggers, seekers, and the healers pursuing side gigs in an economic revolution. From a Buddhist monk-in-training who drove an Uber to make ends meet while questioning the evils of materialism to a former circus daredevil seeking infinite calm in Key West to a Somalian transplant relying on her faith to drive in treacherous weather, Gambhir's stories delve beneath the surface of the mundane and the ordinary to provide a fresh look into the people, places, and cultures that comprise our big beautiful world.
The Uber Chronicles is a volume of bite-sized stories that highlight the wisdom and insight gathered from an Uber passenger's short conversations with his drivers while en route.
