“Mein to jaa rahi hoon!” — The Leave Application That Won Internet

In the corporate world of bullet points and buttoned-up emails, one woman's leave application is making waves for its refreshing honesty and personal flair.

Kritika Singh, a Senior Copywriter at Talk & Target, a Gurugram-based creative agency, sent a leave request that began with a dramatic, almost Bollywood-style subject line:
"Mein to jaa rahi hoon!"

Viral Post

Shared by her CEO, Somya Garg, the email quickly captured attention online, sparking conversations about workplace culture, leadership, and the delicate art of bringing your full self to work.

Not a Resignation - Just the Mountains Calling

At first glance, Garg thought the email was a resignation. But it turned out to be a simple, heartfelt notice: Kritika was planning to work from home on Thursday and take a leave on Friday to head for the mountains.

Her message read:

"This is to inform you that mountains have finally called me. Hence, I'll be WFH and starting my day an hour early on the coming Thursday and ending at 6:30 PM, followed by leave on next day i.e. 27th of June."

The email ended with a now-iconic sign-off: "Thanks cutiees. Bye."

Garg shared the note on LinkedIn with joy, writing:

"In a world of stiff professional emails, this one made my week."
She added that it's not always about deadlines or KPIs - sometimes, it's about the people you work with.

Social Media Applauds the Balance of "Personality and Professionalism"

The internet lit up in support. Many users saw this as a brilliant blend of human warmth and professional clarity. One commented that the post itself was a "lead magnet with zero ad spend." Others praised the leadership at Talk & Target for fostering a culture where such communication is not just allowed, but appreciated.

Another user chimed in, saying:

"This shows how comfortable employees feel in this culture. It's a mark of great leadership and trust."

What This Says About Modern Workplaces

Beneath the humor and hashtags lies a deeper message: when companies value openness and individuality, employees are more engaged and invested.

Workplace experts often emphasize that psychological safety and transparent communication are key drivers of innovation and retention. Kritika's email wasn't just cute - it was confident, clear, and respectful.

It signaled a workplace where employees aren't just cogs in a machine, but people trusted to be themselves.

Final Word?

Not all emails need to start with "Dear Sir/Madam." Sometimes, "Mein to jaa rahi hoon!" says it all.
