For most of us, handling a single job- no matter how small or big it is, is a huge task. Juggling between personal and professional life, often leaves us exhausted and with no time at hand to do other things. But a man from Bengaluru is living proof of the fact that anyone and everyone can excel at different things, given that they have the enthusiasm and zeal to do it. 

Meet Shivakumar G.C., an auto-rickshaw driver who hails from Bengaluru.

His life as an auto driver began in 1993 after watching Shankar Nag's popular film 'Auto Raja'. Owing to his honesty and utter respect for the passengers, he has won more than 30 awards, majority of which are from the Bengaluru City Police.

One look at his auto-rickshaw and you'd immediately realize that he is unlike any other driver you have met.

First things first, his super colorful auto is a sight to behold and also has an explanation behind it. Covered with photos and quotes of eminent writers and personalities, his auto is a reflection of all those who have inspired in his life.

Another aspect of his 'special' auto is that it is equipped with a small library of sorts and also a first-aid box. Now, the first-aid box might not sound too cool but hey, at least the man cares about his customers' safety. And the library is meant to help his customers pass time. He also offers a 50% discount to senior citizens, students and people with disabilities while pregnant women are not charged anything at all. 

But if you think that's about it and the 'coolness' quotient ends here, we are delighted to tell you that this man is multi-talented. 

Shiva, who dropped out of school in 8th grade, has now penned more than 1500 poems. Need more? Twice a week, he turns into a radio jockey and hosts a show for Radio Active.

And just when he thought this can't get any better, we got to know that he is the founder of an NGO named Gurukul Seva Trust that helps students from the lower economic background by providing books and uniforms worth 1 Lakh every year. 

The way Shivakumar leads his life is enough for us to understand that no job is big or small and that spreading positivity in any and every way, never goes unnoticed.
