New hobby in town! Bengaluru engineer works as Rapido driver to talk to people

Ever met someone with a hobby of talking to unknown people? Well, an Bengaluru engineer does this on his weekends. More to meet and interact with new people than for the extra income.

This odd hobby came to light when a Twitter user named Nikhil Seth shared that his Rapido driver for the day was an SDET ( Software Development Engineer in Test) who was working with the bike taxi aggregator as a hobby.

Corporate employees are known to be often bored and mentally exhausted. While some go for trips or treks to break the monotony, others engage in different other pursuits. This one, though, strikes as one of its kind.


"My Rapido Driver today was an SDET at Microsoft & he told me that he drives just to talk to people and as a hobby on weekends,” Seth posted


The tweet instantly triggered a series of responses on the microblogging site. Users on the platform started sharing their own odd experiences. Others responded with memes and hilarious comments.





The tweet has by Wednesday morning garnered 3,033 likes , 146 retweets followed by 32 quote tweets.
