Lewd remarks
At the local dhaba, or roadside tea stall, Vimlesh is treated as one of the men. "Initially when I started driving a truck, most men found it difficult to adjust to a woman on the road. Other truck drivers would pass lewd remarks, some even tried to misbehave. But I fought them all. I did not give up."
Now, on the buses, she says, it's different. She's respectfully addressed as "madam-ji".
