A leave application written by a Kanpur-based clerk is being widely shared on social media. The reason -- his explanation for asking for days off.

The employee, Shamshad Ahmed, in a letter to his higher up, detailed a tiff he was having with his wife.

Ahmed said after a fight, his wife took their daughter and two grandchildren to her parents' home in a village. He said he was very upset about his wife leaving and had to go bring her back home.

"There has been an argument with my wife regarding 'pyaar-mohabbat' (love)," the man wrote . "Please accept my request for leave from August 4 to August 8."

A Kanpur government official sent a letter to a higher official seeking two-day leave to make amends with his disgruntled wife. The leave letter, written by a clerk, has since gone viral | @Simerchawla20 https://t.co/99WLT0AVe8
