Make it yours

  • Use the formal ones for email and the warm ones for WhatsApp. If your boss uses emojis with you, one diya is plenty.
  • Send it on the morning of Lakshmi Puja, not at midnight. A well-timed message reads as thoughtful, not rushed.
  • Do not ask for leave in the same message. Wish first; the leave request can wait a day.
