Delhi Cab Driver is a Youtube Star with an inspiring journey

MEGHA MURKYA

5 DEC 2018 : Goldy Singh apart from being a nice driver and a jolly company in journey is also an amazing Youtuber. He is a resident of Delhi.

He is an Uber cab-driver.
Goldy devotedly posts on Youtube on a daily basis on various issues-the life of those at the lower rung of the service industry like Ola drivers or Swiggy delivery boys, everyday hacks, technical advice for cab drivers spending long hours on the road, motivational talks, and even food recipes, among others.

Goldy started earning when he gave up school in Class X and started working as a technician fixing refrigerators and fitting air conditions for companies like Samsung, for which he worked eight years. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when Goldy suffered a serious accident while installing a split air conditioner. He couldn’t do the heavy lifting anymore and dabbled a bit installing LED TVs before eventually falling upon driving.

With his “koi kaam bada ya chota nahi hota” attitude, he ignored the society that looks down upon a cab driver.

He invested all his savings into driving taxis. Early in last year he obtained a commercial license and, on a lease, acquired a car from a private firm in the city. However, it was hectic work with not much monetary gain, spending just four hours a day at home. He enjoyed his work and meeting with new people but his body was too much physically tired. It is then that he decided to control his own destiny and with the help of his mother a tailor, Goldy bought a second-hand car in July 2017 and signed up for Ola and Uber.
He starts every video with a jolly, ““Hello doston, Kaise ho? Majein mein?” (Hello friends, how are you? All well?). Not only this he has a very positive attitude towards life and motivates other people to look at the good picture that we often ignore. Goldy also gives a platform to the questions of his fellow cab drivers on different topics.

He also began serving water, and subsequently tea, coffee and fruit juices to customers, along with sweets for children, for free.
Apart from cab drivers, he even reaches out to delivery boys working for food apps like Swiggy or Zomato, offering them a platform to describe how they go about their daily lives, how much they earn, the process of applying for such a job and the expenses involved.

He stands out not only from his fellow cabbies by setting up an inspiration and helping them through his videos but also for the young generation as to how no work is small or big!!
