My dad has quickly moved on from denial to acceptance stage.

“He’s running for the third time! How can you expect him to knock it out of the park each time?"

“How much can he do for people? Like how much more can he do?!"

“Look at his age! Look at the fight! Tell me who else has this much energy?"

“Watch in 2029! People of Ayodhya and India will bounce back and he will win 500 seats! Take it from me!"

I am in a particularly good mood today humming and whistling around the house.
