Interesting. But perhaps a letter to Auntie Modi would be even more fun to read.

Yes, more please! Perhaps one to now ex-Uncle Donald, who unaccountably had his friends wreck the fine china before leaving...

I cackled out loud, which is rare, I can tell you. Thank you. Friday is here, but the weekend and has now truly begun.

I’m new to this Substack but ah, such an introduction! And, of course, the question arises, should the vaunted Uncle Donald J. Sam once again ascend the Whitehouse throne, will further letters to Auntie be forthcoming?

I just discovered you are on SubStack! How great is that? Your letter to Aunty had me in stitches. Thank heavens it’s now all down memory lane, the “blink once, and we’ll rescue you,” and “blink twice and we’ll fuck off.” Or something to that effect. We were so naive.

This is among your best imagined pieces in Salman’s Sea of Stories. Reminiscent of Kipling, the authentic voice of the writer carries our unspoken thoughts into the open around the discussion theme. More please

One to Great-Uncle George W. Sam!
