About this Event

What the Rickshaw Driver Taught Me About Happiness

An evening with author Kirit Thakore

Some conversations change your day.

Others change your life.

Years ago, during a simple journey in a rickshaw, Kirit Thakore met a driver whose outlook on life quietly challenged everything he thought he knew about happiness, success and purpose.

That unexpected conversation became the inspiration behind the much loved book The Happy Rickshaw Driver, a story that has touched readers around the world.

Now, Kirit invites you to a relaxed and inspiring evening where he will share the deeper story behind the book and the lessons that grew from that encounter.

This is not a lecture.
It is an honest conversation about life, purpose and the small moments that often hold the biggest truths.


During the evening you will experience

• A live reading from the upcoming book


The 10 Pillars of the Happy Rickshaw Driver


• The true story behind the original meeting that inspired the first book

• Reflections on happiness, purpose and finding meaning in unexpected places

• An open audience Q&A and conversation

• A chance to meet the author after the talk

Guests attending will also receive a limited free signed bookmark as a small thank you for being part of the evening.


Who this event is for

This evening is for anyone who enjoys thoughtful stories about life, personal growth and the small lessons that shape who we become.

If you enjoyed books like The Alchemist or reflective stories that stay with you long after you read them, you will feel right at home.
