Woh Engineer Jo IIT Se Padha, Aaj Samosa Bech Raha Hai | IIT graduate street food India
Logo ne mazaak udaaya. Usne smile karke samosa pakadaaya. Kaun jeet gaya sach mein?
Ek Ladka, Ek Cart, Aur Poori Duniya Ki Nazrein
Zara ek second ke liye ruko.
Bhopal ki ek busy market imagine karo — bheed, shor, tel ki khushbu, aur bheed mein khade log. Uss bheed mein ek ladka hai. Haath mein chimta, saamne kadakti kadai, aur peeth pe ek bag — jisme uski IIT ki degree band hai, bilkul khamoshi se.
Tabhi ek rishtedar side se guzra. Ruka. Moonh khula. Aankhen chodi hui.
Aur phir — ting — WhatsApp group mein message chala gaya:
“Yaar, suna? Rahul bhaiya IIT se padh ke samosa bech rahe hain. Kya waste of talent hai na?”
Waste of talent.
Yahi woh teen words hain jo aaj India mein har us IIT graduate ke peeche lagate hain jo apni life apni marzi se jeene ki koshish karta hai — chahe woh street food ka cart ho, koi startup ho, ya phir koi aisi choice jo society ki “script” se thodi alag ho.
Lekin Rahul ne koi jawab nahi diya us rishtedar ko.
Kyunki uska jawab… woh cart de raha tha. Roz. Khud se.
Rahul ne suna. Muskuraya. Aur ek aur samosa talna shuru kar diya.
Yeh koi filmy kahani nahi hai, bhaiya. Aaj India mein hazaron Rahul hain — IIT, NIT, MBA — sab apna raasta khud bana rahe hain.
Aur log unhe failure bol rahe hain. Aaj hum baat karenge ki galat kaun hai — woh log ya woh log jo “log” kehte hain?
Society Ka Pressure — Ek Silent Killer
Jab Rahul ke maa-baap ne 4 lakh fees bhari IIT ke liye, toh unke dil mein ek sapna tha — Beta bada officer banega. AC office. Tie pehnega.
Aur Rahul? Usne 2 saal corporate mein kaam kiya. Promotions mile. Package bhi. Par har raat woh khud se poochta tha — “Kya yahi hai? Bas yahi?”
Ek din usne apni passion dhundhli — khana banana, logon ko khush karna, apna kuch banana. Aur usne decide kiya — degree shelf pe rakhenge, dil ki sunte hain.
Papa ne poochha — itni padhai kis kaam aai?
Maine kaha — Aai na kaam, Papa. Mujhe pata hai ki 300°C pe talna hai aur risk kab lena hai.”
— Rahul, IIT Bombay, 2019 Batch. Aaj monthly 1.2 lakh earn karta hai apni cart se.
Yeh Sirf Rahul Ki Kahani Nahi Hai — Numbers Dekho
Pehle yeh soch lo ki Rahul koi exception hai. Ab India ka aaina dekho:
Educated youth unemployment rate, India 2024-25
65% Engineering graduates unrelated field mein kaam karte hain
45% Graduates 2 saal mein job chhod dete hain
29% Graduates 2 saal mein job chhod dete hain
Matlab — 3 mein se almost 1 padha-likha insaan unemployed hai. Toh phir “conventional path” ka kya matlab raha?
Aur un logo ka kya jo cart chalate hain, freelance karte hain, YouTube banate hain? Woh struggle nahi kar rahe — woh system se bahar nikal ke apna system bana rahe hain.
Degree ek permission slip hai society ki. Par zindagi mein sabse bada permission — woh tum apne aap ko dete ho.
Bharat Bhaiya’s Take Seedha Dil Se
Sunno yaar, main bhi us generation se hun jahan “log kya kahenge” ne kaafi sapne daba diye. Aur main honestly bol raha hun — jab Rahul jaisa koi, apna raasta chunata hai, mujhe usse RESPECT milti hai, sympathy nahi.
Usne IIT ki degree waste nahi ki. Usne courage invest ki — wahan jahan society ne kabhi bet nahi lagaya tha.
Aur woh samosa? Woh sirf snack nahi hai bhai — woh ek declaration hai ki main apne terms pe jeeunga. Failure ka matlab hota hai — try karna chhod dena. Usne chhoda nahi. Toh failure kahan hai?
Apna Raasta Kaise Dhundhe — 3 Real Steps
1, Pehle apni “drain” aur “charge” activities list karo
Ek din ke end mein socho — kaunsi cheez karne ke baad thakan thaka wali thi aur kaunsi ke baad acha laga? Wahan se start karo. Career counselling nahi — yeh self-data collection hai.
2, 6 mahine ka “parallel experiment” karo
Job chhodo mat abhi. Par apna idea — weekend pe, 2 ghante roz — test karo, fail karo, seekho. Rahul ne bhi pehle evenings mein cart chalai. Tabhi usne jump lagaya.
3, Log kya kahenge” ko budget do — limited budget
Haan, log bolenge. Unhe bolne do. Par unki baaton ko maximum 5 minute do apne din mein. Uske baad — apna kaam.
Yeh sochna ki log judge karenge, yeh toh drama hai jo tum apne dimag mein khud chalaate ho.
Aapka Rahul Kaun Hai?
Kya aapke life mein koi aisa insaan hai jisne “unusual” raasta chuna aur aap secretly unhe respect karte ho? Ya aap khud kisi aisi jagah ho jahan log samajhte nahi?
Comment mein batao — aapki kahani bhi Bharat Bhaiya share karega.
Anonymously bhi chal sakta hai.
Aur agar yeh article dil ko laga, toh ek kaam karo — woh dost jise abhi yeh padhna chahiye, usse bhejo. Bas ek share se kisi ka din badal sakta hai.
