Meet a young boy from Nathdwara with 1 M YouTube Subscribers

YouTube has emerged as one of the largest video sharing platforms. And with so many YouTubers getting millions of views and subscribers, they have now become celebrities in their own rights.

But, when we talk about young YouTubers with millions of subscribers, the list is not that long. And if you filter the list as YouTubers from small towns, we’re talking about an even smaller pool of those who have made it to the top.

So, here we have Gagan Sharma, a 20-year-old YouTuber from the small town of Nathdwara, who owns the YouTube channel Cars For You which has serious views with upwards of 1M subscribers.

See what he has to share about his YouTubing experience.

When & why did you start making YouTube videos?

I started the channel Cars For You in April 2016. While searching for some YouTube videos related to my studies, I started wondering why so many people upload videos on YouTube. I did a little research on it realized that YouTube gives money for uploading content. And so, just thought of giving it a try.

What or who inspired you to start your YouTube channel?

I love watching celebrities’ luxury car collection and that’s what Cars For You is all about. Before Cars For You came into existence in 2016, the luxury car collection videos on YouTube only included slideshow format. So, I started making and uploading own content related to celebrities’ luxury car collection and later added the luxury celebrity lifestyle segment which was not there earlier.

Honestly, the fame and money that followed made me stick to it. I feel that almost 99% of people are making YouTube videos for money and there is nothing wrong in it.

How much time do you give to your channel?

I spend around 4-6 hours of a day on my YouTube channel.

How did you promote your channel when you first started?

I simply started with uploading content on YouTube and sharing it with friends on WhatsApp. I was getting around 25 to 30 views in a day initially. The content, because of its newness, became viral giving the channel the required boost.

What did you do to get so many subscribers?

I consistently kept uploading the content related to celebrities’ luxury car collection which was trending. I have been uploading a 1 video every 2 days at the same time since the time I started my channel. And from an article which shares the tips to grow your YouTube channel, I learned that as per the YouTube algorithm, content published around 7:00 PM gets a good response.

What do you think are the key reasons for the success of your YouTube channel?

Uploading unique yet trending content on a consistent basis is the major the primary reason behind this success of Cars For You. You can check the latest trending things on Google Trends.

Also, from my experience, I suggest not to quit too early. Some of my YouTube videos went viral after 9 months of uploading them. Sharing videos on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter also helped a lot.

How do you keep coming up with new ideas for videos?

I look for trending topics related to my channel on Google Trends. Sometimes I just make the videos own my choice that I love to watch while some of my videos are made on subscribers’ demand.

How do see it as your future/career?

Although I aspire to open my own car garage, I have not thought of YouTubing as a career. As of now, I am doing it for fun. I am studying, I have a page on Facebook and I also own a website. All these things can help me to shape my career as well.

Any tips you would like to give to the new YouTubers?

Keep on creating and sharing content on Youtube which you love. You never know what can get viral. Do not copy other’s ideas. If someone is making viral tech content, you do not necessarily have to make something similar. Make what you love.

Consistently keep on uploading trending content. For the first six months, my YouTube channel was only able to gain 187 odd subscribers. Once my videos started getting viral, I gained subscribers and views to reach this number.

Udaipur girl shares her unpleasant story on eve-teasing: Do you also have yours?

“I am like any other girl from the beautiful city of Udaipur who was until now proud to be living in this tourist city of India. My recent experience at one of the most popular tourist places and every Udaipurites go-to place, has made me rethink on the safety and freedom of being in the city.

I come from a decently modern family which allows me to roam around in the city with my friends. I obey when my folks say “Don’t go out at night” or “Don’t go out alone”.

What they didn’t say was that whether you would go out during the day or be with other people, if you’re a girl, you may still get teased and feel unsafe.

Feeling unsafe was a pretty new experience for me.

The incidents happened recently (15th March to be precise).

I went to Fatehsagar with my friend to have a cup of coffee at one of the famous coffee joints there. It was around 1 PM. I parked my car and stepped out. 3 boys in a white Volkswagen playing loud music hooted at us. I got irritated but ignored it. (We are Indian girls and should not make a big deal out of such thing. Isn’t it?)

We went to the coffee shop, ordered our coffee and were just trying to chill. That’s when I noticed 2-3 uncles in their 40s with 2 young men in their early 30s sitting on a table across us. One of those uncles smiled and started staring at us continuously. He said something to his friends after which all of them started staring at us. We felt uncomfortable and thought the best was to leave from there. (that’s how Indian girls have been raised). While we were going, one of the ‘uncle’ turned his chair to see us. 

We moved out of the place and thought of taking a round of FS. Three 3 boys on a bullet, got ahead of us, turned back and gave me that “girls can’t drive” look as if I am doing a sin driving a car. Really?? 

That’s not all friends! When we thought of ignoring all it all and going back to our place, 2 boys passing by shouted in Mewari language “Kai Problem Hai Kai” (do you have any problem) and followed us to some distance and went away.

All these incidents happened in a span of an hour and that too at the place that I felt like going at any time.

But now I am reluctant to go to FS irrespective of the time of the day. Thanks to the men of the city!”

The above piece was shared with us by one of our followers who wanted us to share her experience with the fellow Udaipurites – both men and women.

There is nothing unique about the story. And while I write this, I feel disgusted!

Why are these so-called minor eve-teasing incidents common not just in Udaipur but around the country? Do we need to ASK the men in the society to stop doing such acts which I am sure are just for “fun” purpose for them and they do not get anything out of it.

We are not generalising the men community. There are great men too. We don’t actually believe it about all men. Men who are not like this should not take offence if you are not the ones harassing women or objectifying them, or otherwise acting like trash.

But there are enough men who do do those things, and the women in Udaipur encounter them every day.

How to react against eve-teasing?

Through this article, we want to make the people of Udaipur aware of the helpline numbers of the female police patrol team.

You can call on these numbers, drop a message or a WhatsApp for support:

  • +91-8764855571
  • +91-8764855572
  • +91-8764855573
  • +91-8764855574
  • +91-8764855575

Save these numbers in your mobile and use them the next time you experience any unpleasant situation on the roads of Udaipur.

Moreover, it should also be a moral duty and responsibility on the passers-by who notice such incident. Report the same to the nearest police station or to Women Helpline.

Udaipur will get 200 lakh liters more water per day from the new Jaisamand-Udaipur pipeline

The state government gave its approval to change the 55 km long pipeline coming from Jaisamand to Udaipur. It will take 3 years to construct this pipeline costing 215 crores.

Doubling the capacity of the 55 km long line, which has been supplying drinking water from Jaisamand Lake to the city of Udaipur for 25 years, will provide 20 MLD or 200 lakh litres of additional water per day from Jaisamand.

Currently, 21 MLD water per day is being supplied from the biggest man-made lake in the city.

Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s 215 crores project was approved in the recent budget session.

The Water Supply Department has started working on the project. The project is expected to be completed by October 2023. The tender process will begin as soon as the final Detailed Project Report (DPR) gets approved.

The pipeline that has been supplying water from the Jaisamand Lake since 1995 has 450 to 600 mm in diameter. The new pipeline will be built in 600 to 900 mm in diameter.

An intake well will also be built on the lake. Besides, the old pump houses will be renovated and new pumps will be installed. A new filter plant of 20 MLD capacity will also be built in Udaipur along with tanks for water storage. The locations to build the tanks will be decided as per the requirement.

Jaisamand Lake has a capacity of 14650 Million Cubic Feet (MCFT) out of which 630 MCFT of water is reserved by the Water Supply Department for supplying drinking water in Udaipur city and Salumbar region.

Since the age-old pipeline is damaged in many places, the water from Jaisamand also does not reach the city in sufficient quantity. Because of this, the city experienced huge water crises last year, pushing the department to provide water supply to the city once in 72 hours.
