I've often talked about how much we love our drivers. There are moments when I miss the independence of just getting in the car and heading out on my own, and the freedom to sing along with my favorite music. For the most part though, I am thankful for the luxury of our drivers!
The top photo is Surrender - who drives for my Husb. The second photo was supposed to be of Kushal - who drives for the kids and I (but Mia wanted a photo of HER).
Both guys live in the hills near the Himalayan Mountains. They come from small villages (1,000 - 1,500 people) and their families (wives and children) live there. Both men see their families 1-2x a year, plus during the summer when we are planning to leave Delhi to escape the heat. I can't imagine that lifestyle, but they both say often that it's the only thing their children know.
They work every day of the week ... and put in 10 hour days. We are appreciative of the fact that we can simply rely on the fact that they will know where we need to go, how long it will take to get there, can interpret easily for us while out and about, AND that we will arrive safely!
Want to know the BEST thing about me having a driver? I don't have to remember to put gas in the car!
