Postman finally gets a letter to deliver, thanks to Raksha Bandhan

Mumbai. Bejaan Letterwala, is finally a happy man as he gets a letter to deliver after a long wait of 8 months. It’s a letter carrying Rakhi sent by a Delhi girl to his brother working in Mumbai.


Bejaan kept letter for a couple of days with him before eventually delivering it today. On being asked why he did so, an emotional Bejaan said, “You will not understand, it’s my love and affection for my job. I wasn’t sure if I would get a chance to deliver another letter anytime soon.”

Eyes welled up, Bejaan recalled the historical moment when he delivered the letter.


“You guys still exist! I thought the postal service was closed by the government!” said the recipient of Rakhi, who was informed by Bejaan that only the Telegram service was closed, and the Post Offices still existed.


Haunted by the “you guys still exist” comment of the boy, the postman has asked the government of India to make it mandatory for people to send letters through India Post.


“They can ask companies to do it under the now mandatory CSR activities. The companies should make it mandatory for their employees to send the letter,” Bejaan explained how inclusive growth policies could help India Post get some business.


Meanwhile China has claimed that whatever business India Post was getting was due to its manufacturing abilities.


“Despite such high inflation in India, sisters are still able to send Rakhis because we make cheap Rakhis and send them to Indian markets, else they’d have shifted to e-Rakhis long back,” a Chinese manufacturer told Faking News.
