Well, if you think that your aerogrammes are wonderful right now, you can rest assured that they will remain as "wonderful" as they have been. Maybe with a little bit of effort from your postal department and a little bit of encouragement from you, they will get even more "wonderful" in the future? Sheesh! No wonder public services are so pathetic in India.

Great article on Rediff : rediff.com A few excerpts: In Kanpur, a Bharatiya Janata Party MP and aspirant again, one Jagatveer Singh Dron, was dragged into "the middle of a vast expanse of slush and cow dung and told ... to say whatever he had to say from there." (The Times of India, September 13). ... They don't want to hear any more about Pokhran and foreign origins and Ram temples and other similar nonsense. They want answers to basic issues: water, garbage on the streets, sanitation, housing. ... ...they sell us wars and nuclear bombs and the supposed danger that religions are in and the foreign origins of people. On and on they ramble, with stuff meaningless to myriad Indians... ... Of course I deliberately chose a report about anger against the BJP. While every party has earned such anger, mouthings from the BJP and its pals are most nauseating of all. In this entire campaign, these perpetual pretenders to the moral high ground have given us nothing except Sonia's Italian birth, the Kargil war, the glory of nuclear bombs. Also, words from the likes of Murli Manohar Joshi that imply that "those who do not worship Ram have no place" in India (The Times of India, September 17). It galls me that men with minds as narrow and hate-filled as this actually become our rulers.
