A middle-aged woman and mother of two grown-up kids have silently nurtured her passion and dream about bike riding and four-wheeler driving. But traditional middle-class upbringing, along with conservative family norms and role expectations, was pulling her back from pursuing her desire. The only silver lining is her mother-in-law, who has been a great support and mentor. She always encourages daughter-in-law to come out of mental conditioning to emerge from under the shadows of society-imposed inhibitions in fulfilling woman's dreams.
The woman's dreams finally found the scope and much-needed fortuitous support as a cab-hailing service provider rolled out their cab hiring services locally. The lady, coaxed by her mother-in-law, went about obtaining her driving certificate, according to her application for commercial driving with the cab aggregator. The service provider estimated that it would be an ideal advertisement for their socially inclusive model and cleared the application in no time.
But, will this enterprise triumph the test of time??
Tune in to the audio story from the "MyStoryGenie" Bengali Audiobooks series to witness the changing milieu of the Indian society, which is slowly but surely breaking down gender stereotypes with a newfound zeal for pursuing a passion.
