The Sick Leave by Hardik Sharma

 

What if the exhaustion you feel isn't physical—but emotional, mental, and deeply human?

The Sick Leave is a compelling collection of short stories that shines a light on the realities of modern corporate life—the endless deadlines, back-to-back meetings, career anxieties, fading passions, strained relationships, and the quiet loneliness that often waits behind professional success.

Set across the present and imagined futures, these stories explore the lives of ordinary people caught in the relentless race for achievement. Beneath the routines, targets, and expectations lies a universal question: Can we ever truly step away from it all? Can we resign from the pressures that define our days and reconnect with the person we once were?

With honesty, empathy, and sharp observation, The Sick Leave captures the emotional landscape of contemporary working life. It speaks to professionals navigating burnout, ambition, uncertainty, and the search for meaning in a world that rarely pauses. The stories invite readers to reflect on their own journeys, rediscover forgotten dreams, and consider what it really means to live—not just work.

Thought-provoking, relatable, and deeply relevant, The Sick Leave is for anyone who has ever felt trapped in routine, questioned their purpose, or longed for a life beyond the next deadline.
