A Bengaluru youngster has unexpectedly become the internet’s newest voice of every confused, burnt-out employee. A 22-year-old named Aanshul Uthaiah posted a candid video on Instagram talking about quitting his job on Monday, and the clip instantly blew up among India’s overworked corporate youth. In his video, which he casually labeled “Sunday ramblings” Aanshul confessed that he was planning to walk into work the next day and resign without having the slightest idea about what comes after. “I am quitting my job tomorrow and I have no clue what I’m going to do,” he said, sounding equal parts stressed and relieved. He didn’t mince words either: “I hate what I do for my work and I hate my life situation right now.” Aanshul explained that although he has secured admission to two universities in Australia, the idea of studying again doesn’t excite him. “I work a full-time job which I don’t like at all. I find it very boring… I feel like I’m wasting my time,” he said, echoing a sentiment many young professionals related to instantly. Unsurprisingly, his parents aren’t thrilled about his plan to drop a stable job. At the time he uploaded the video, Aanshul had around 10,000 followers. Within 48 hours, that number shot past 22,000. The clip has now crossed more than two million views, turning his raw, emotional monologue into a viral reflection of modern-day career confusion. The newbie creator, who only started posting content three months ago, says he now wants to “give all his effort” to building his online journey. His page, filled with fitness clips from someone who calls himself an “average gym grower,” is suddenly attracting massive attention. After the first video went viral, Aanshul posted a follow-up, filmed on Monday morning. Looking visibly anxious, he said, “It’s 7:45 am and I have to go to work by 10. I’m scared. I don’t know what to do. I’m having second thoughts.” He went on to share the internal tug-of-war most young people know too well: “My brain is telling me to take some more time and decide, but there’s also a part of me that says just go for it.” His biggest fear, he admitted, is losing the safety of a guaranteed salary. But he also questioned whether he would ever take a big risk if he didn’t do it now. In the latest episode of this accidental mini-series on his page, Aanshul revealed that he is finally ready to go ahead with his resignation. Viewers are now completely invested in his real-time career crisis and are waiting to see what he ultimately decides. Will he actually quit, or will he back out at the last minute? Stay tuned, this unexpected workplace cliffhanger isn’t over yet.
