“When I’m on the road driving our taxi I feel very proud,because this is the first taxi service only for women,” says 31yearold Shanti Sharma, who is one of eight female drivers with a taxi service called Cabs for Women by Women.
The last couple of months, since the rape and murder in the city of a college student travelling on a bus, have been particularly busy for her and her colleagues.
“After this case,our workload has increased so much,” says Sharma.“Women who used other cab services are also turning to us now.”
Most women in Delhi say they routinely face harassment(骚扰), and worse, especially on public transport.
Sharma, a single parent with three daughters, has been working as a taxi driver since 2011, when the service was first set up, and it has changed her life. This is the first time that she has earned enough—about 250 a month—to support her family.
Of course, she and the other female taxi drivers are completely outnumbered by male cabbies.“When I park somewhere there are always men there and inevitably five or six of them get together and hang out, ” she says.“I’m usually the only woman in the parking lot, so I just stay inside the car.”
It’s not much better when she is out on the road. Sharma says the male drivers give her a hard time.“As soon as they see a woman at the wheel they start honking(按喇叭) for no reason. They’ll try to overtake you. I’m always worrying about how to avoid getting hit by someone.”
The company behind Cabs for Women by Women, Sakha Consulting Wings, had a number of goals when it set up the service .It wanted to give women from poor backgrounds an opportunity to earn money. By putting women in charge of technologies, it also wanted to change people’s attitudes, and open up boundaries for women.

Three friends decided to sail around the world in a small yacht(游艇). They loaded it with food and water and set off. They traveled to many beautiful places, and were having a wonderful time.
Until one day, when they had been at sea for about a month, a fierce storm blew up.
Great waves crashed(坠毁)down on their little yacht. The mast(船桅) broke and the yacht was soon thrown against some rocks near a deserted island.
The three men were able to struggle to the island, taking with them as much food as they could carry. Not a tree, not a bush, not a flower grew on the island. There was not an animal of any kind, not even a bird or an insect. For a few weeks the three men were able to live on the food they had saved, but at last it was gone--except for one piece of bread. They decided that whoever had the best dream the next night could have the bread. The next morning they took turns describing their dreams.
The first man said that he had dreamed he was in the world's most beautiful restaurant and he had eaten the finest meal of his life and drunk some of the finest wines. He said it was one of the best dreams he had ever had.
The second man described how he had dreamed about a magic carpet. Sitting on this car- pet, he had traveled to all the wonderful places in the world and been the guest of great kings and queens. It had been a truly exciting dream.
The men who had described their dreams then turned to the third man. "Tell us your dream," they said. "My dream was very simple," he said. "I dreamed that the bread was go- ing bad and would soon be moldy(发霉). 1 didn't want to waste the bread, so as soon as I woke up I ate it.

Here's a familiar version of the boy-meets-girl situation.A young man has at last plucked up courage to invite.a young lady to dinner.She has accepted his invitation.He is determined to take her to the best restaurant in town, even if it means that he will be short of money during the month to come.When they get to the restaurant, he finds that the girl is on a diet.She mustn't eat this and that.Oh, but of course, she.doesn't want to spoil his enjoyment, So she let him eat as much fattening food as he wants: it's the surest way to an early grave.They spend a truly memorable evening together and never see each other again.
How miserable dieters are! You can always recognize them from the sad expression on their faces.They spend most of their time consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom.They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins.Some wage (作战,实行)an all-out war on FAT.Mere dieting is not enough.They exhaust themselves doing exercises, sweating in sauna" baths (桑拿浴), being massaged (按摩) by weird(不可思议的,离奇的) machines.Don't think it's only the middle-aged who go in for these fads(一时流行的风尚).Many of these bright young people are suffering from chron- ic malnutrition: they are tiring on nothing but air, water and the goodwill of God.Dieters starve themselves of their own free will; so why are they so miserable? Well, for one thing, they're always hungry.You can't be hungry and happy at the same time.All the horrible concoctions(调制品,混合物) they eat instead' of food leave them permanently dis-satisfied.And, Of course, they're always miserable because they feel so guilty.Hunger just proves too much for them and in the end they lash out and eat five huge cream cakes at a sitting.And who can blame them? At least three times a day they are exposed to tempta-tion.What a torture it is always watching others having piles of mouth-watering food
white; you only have a glass of water! What' s all this self-inflicted (自我打击的) torture (催残) for? Saintly people deprive themselves of food to attain a state of grace.Unsaintly people do so to attain a state of misery.It will be a great day when all the dieters in the world abandon their slimming courses; when they hold out their plates and demand second helpings!
