English Literature Postgraduate Starts A Tea Stall

A few days ago, a LinkedIn user by the name of Brigadier Sanjay Khanna wrote a post on the professional networking platform about a chance meeting that he had with a bright young woman who spoke excellent English and ran a tea stall. Observing such a person working at a makeshift tea stall is indeed very unusual, and like any other person, he got curious and went up to talk to her to know more about her.

To his surprise, she told her that not only does she have a Master’s degree in English literature, but also that she used to work in the British Council Library before leaving it all behind to pursue a dramatic career change and start a tea stall.
