4:13 am, New Delhi. A cab ride I will never forget. My driver was speaking English on his phone, sharing his morning routine and the ride's location. I got a little scared & started listening more carefully because, for a moment, I thought he was sharing our location and details with someone else. Then he noticed that "I was getting uncomfortable." Started a conversation.. Driver: “Sir, where are you going?” Me: “Main to Bangalore ja raha hoon.” Driver: “Work or personal trip?” Me: “Always work” with a smile Our chat continued for another 10 minutes, with him speaking English and me replying in Hindi. Then, I asked, "Aap phone par kisse baat kar rahe the?” Driver: “Nahi bhaiya, phone par nahi. Main English bolne ki practice kar raha tha ChatGPT par. Abhi fluently nahi bol pata. Meri abhi beti hui hai. Uske liye seekh raha hoon. Jab badi hogi, usko bhi sikhaunga.” On that almost empty road at 5 am, it hit me. He was not just learning English. He was quietly trying to build a different starting line in life for his daughter. I do not know which jobs AI will replace. But I do know it is giving everyone access to technology across all strata of Indian society. No coaching class. No gatekeeper. Only intent and a smartphone with AI. What a ride. What a reminder. "Learn, learn, and learn."
