Karwachauth Satire: Maintaining coordination between ‘wife and boss’ is the most difficult task in the world and when it comes to holiday on Karva Chauth, world war is certain. As soon as Karva Chauth arrives, an undeclared war starts between husband and wife. An employee working in IT has taken this war directly to the boss’s inbox. The man’s wife has decreed that he has to stay home on Karva Chauth, otherwise no one will be worse than me. Frightened by this ‘Gabbar Singh’ style threat from his wife, the husband has written his entire Ramayan to his boss. In the mail, the man has asked for leave, calling his wife a super CEO. In the mail, the person has written such a heart-touching story of marital crisis that everyone was left in tears after reading it.

Subject: Karva Chauth crisis, prayer for leave to save life

“Respected Boss, with best regards!

There is a deadline for Karva Chauth, my wife is my boss.
If you don’t get leave, huge loss is certain.

Is it Karva Chauth, or is it the night of doom?
Just please one day, you with me

I am writing this mail to you with a heavy heart and trembling hands. My application today is not just an application for leave, but a final appeal to save the existence of my married life. You will know that Karva Chauth is on 10th October. This is the day when my wife takes on the role of ‘all-powerful CEO’ and I get the status of ‘underperforming intern’. She is a super-admin and I am a ‘read-only’ user.

My wife has issued a decree in clear and unambiguous words, “I have to stay home on Karva Chauth. If I do office work then no one will be worse than me.”

This is not a threat, this is a Brahmastra! This is a direct attack on my lunch box, remote control and the peace of my home. I’m sure “No one will be worse than me” means not just resentment, but dire consequences like stale food kept in the fridge for a week, locking the bedroom and ‘vow of silence’.

Last time also I reached home late from office, tired and exhausted. As soon as I opened the door, I realized that I had disturbed an electrical transformer. My wife, who had already become a ‘hungry lioness’ due to the fast, turned red like a tomato the moment she saw me. That night with the bright moon, he announced the result of my ‘performance appraisal’ and ‘lay-off’ me.

In such a situation, my situation has now become ‘non-negotiable’. If I even touch the phone, she will reverse the story of ‘Satyavan-Savitri’! If I don’t get leave, HR will have to intervene after seeing my ‘wife-inflicted’ injuries on the next day of Karva Chauth. I don’t want to become a ‘Karva Chauth survivor’.

I promise that after the successful installation of ‘Karva Chauth Update 2025’, I will return to work at ‘full speed’.
