Dear Mr Sharma,
We are into the last week, indeed the last few days, before voting will culminate in what happens on August 24. All our candidates in all the seats will be getting quite excited with anticipation. I have been counting down the days in my diary and we are nearly there.
Although I would never in a million years dream of standing for an election, as a very, very old man who has been voting in NT elections since 1975, I get very, very excited about elections.
I am often disappointed that the many, many promises are either not kept or are diluted to the point of making little discernible change to the issues they identified.
But so what! Elections tend to be full of what becomes empty rhetoric – and there is always next time!
All the very best for the last days of the campaign.
Regards
Poor Old Henry

That was probably a fun letter for him to get! (Although I confess I did not try to research the names in your post and don’t know much about Aussie pols, I *think* this is a friendly letter?
He has visited twice. He is engaged to one of my ex-primary school students, a Greek lass. Yes, I have no malice aforethought in communicating with Shlok.
I understand that you are hyperactive, a protagonist, but we must also accept what happens and rely on Divine Providence because, alone, we cannot do anything!
I often feel my vulnerability, susceptibility and decline into the era of old age.
Andiamo tutti là!
