Delhi Man's 'Career Advice' Viral, Suggests Leaving IT Job And Selling Lehengas At Chandni Chowk

Bridal fashion has devolved into a battleground, with every boutique competing to sell the latest 'Sabyasachi' or 'Manish Malhotra' knockoffs, as brides refuse to settle for anything less on their wedding day.

Shopkeepers are boldly pricing their lehengas at numbers that even the most lavish designers would raise eyebrows at.

Who suggested people leave their IT jobs and sell lehengas at Chandni Chowk?

Been in Chandni chowk only 2 hours.

"I've only been in Chandni Chowk for two hours. One piece of advice: quit your software job and focus solely on selling lehngas. I don't know what to say. Lehngas worth over a lakh rupees are flying off the shelves," tweeted Amit Jaglan on the microblogging platform 'X'.

How did people on the internet react?

While some argued against the unfair comparison of occupations and the impossible task of securing finance for property in Chandni Chowk, others applauded the notion.

Bro talking as if selling Lehengas is a piece of cake and writing software isn't done by millions of not so skilled people

"Bro talking as if selling Lehengas is a piece of cake and writing software isn't done by millions of not so skilled people," chimed in a user. "The capital required for that will be 100x of what required to build software business," another person said.

Amit have you tried selling Lahnga? Do you even know what all personal traits one must have to sell a Lahnga? It's very easy to pass generalized comments you have just passed. To excel in any field be it selling Lahnga or being software engineer you can't escape hardwork.

"Have you tried selling Lahnga, Amit?" Do you even know what personal qualities are required to sell a Lahnga? It's quite easy to pass generalized comments that you've already passed. To thrive in any industry, whether it's selling Lahnga or being a software programmer, you can't avoid hard effort," said the third.

But wait, some agreed with a nod. "And the best part is you won't have to pay taxes," one user revealed.
