'Aunga hi nahi main' to 'kaun so school band ho jayega': Two legendary school leave applications that left netizens in splits

Social media often celebrates moments of honesty and humour, and two student leave applications have become memorable examples. One from Bundelkhand saw a student named Kalua politely request leave while ending his note with a line that went viral for its candidness. Another from a Class 7 student, Rakesh, gained attention for a hilariously blunt application written in English mixed with Hindi. Both letters, shared widely online, charmed users with their straightforwardness and childlike honesty.

In 2022, IAS officer Arpit Verma shared an image of a leave application written by a student on Twitter (now X), which quickly captured the internet’s attention. He noted that the student was from the Bundelkhand region and that the language in the note had won people’s hearts.

What the letter says

The letter, signed by Kalua, explained that he had been suffering from a fever and a cold for two days, preventing him from attending school. He politely requested leave for a couple of days. The wording was simple, reflecting the natural flavour of Bundelkhandi rather than formal textbook language.



The line that became famous
The letter concluded with a line that readers found amusing and candid: "Even if I don't come, it won't lead to a school shutdown, yours, Kalua." The plain observation, delivered without drama or formality, made the note memorable and widely shared.

A viral post, not a verified document

While the post gained popularity online, there is no way to verify whether the application was genuine or written for amusement. Its appeal lay in the childlike honesty and regional charm of the language.

Class 7 student’s blunt application captures attention

Another student, Rakesh, from Class 7, drew attention with a leave application written in English but filled with Hindi words, which amused social media users.

What the note said

The application opened formally but soon became unusual when the student repeated, "Mai nahi aunga, nahi aunga, nahi aunga" ("I will not come, I will not come, I will not come") multiple times. It concluded bluntly with, "Thank you. Aunga hi nahi main" ("Thank you; I am not going to come").

Internet reactions

The image circulated widely, with users praising the student’s honesty and humour. One comment highlighted the misspelling of “principal” as "princeeple," joking that the principal must be upset. Another user wrote, "Brother, till date, I have never written an application with so much patience and humility."

Impact and popularity

Both applications became popular online for their simple, straightforward style and humour, offering a glimpse into children’s candid observations and making people across the country smile.
