The Final Over

Dear Friends

We are on the last leg; two final polling dates are left…May 7 and May 13. For the Delhi-NCR area, the date is May 7.

Some of us have heard it so many times, that it seems like a noise now, you want to say ‘no more’ !!

But this is the time to do exactly the opposite. In the T20 match, we have to make 15 runs in the last over, it is not easy, but good teams know that they can do it. So imagine that you are on the crease in the last over, and a six, a couple of fours combined with a single would take you home, as a winner.

Here is how we can bat in this last over:

The Single: Make sure that you cast your vote tomorrow.

The first Four: Call at least 20 of your family members and make sure that they cast their vote.

The second Four: Call 10 of your friends and neighbours, and make sure they cast their vote - each family will have 3 voters on an average, this means 30 people cast their votes.

With the above, you have got 51 people to cast their vote.

The Sixer: Inspire 5 people to do the above – this means another 255 people will cast their votes.

Tell people not to worry about the bouncers (like hot weather) or the wide deliveries (we are going for a movie), etc.

If 5000 people do the above between now and tomorrow evening, 12.75 lakh people will cast votes tomorrow, majority of who may not have cast their votes otherwise! This can make a big difference to who the winner is. Generally, the difference between the winner and 1st runners-up is not more than 5,000 votes.

So, let us all get ready, only one more over left, this is the time to give our best.
