the postman

The postman has been the theme of stories and novels in many parts of the world.He is an integral part of our day to day life.Irrespective of the weather,he begins work at dawn and works round the clock going from door to door bearing good and bad tidings from all over the world.
A father waiting anxiously awaiting a money order from home or a soldier posting vigil at some far-flung outpost wait anxiously for the postman.
In our society,the postman has not been given his due recognition and lives a hand to mouth existence He can be seen walking on the streets with the postal bag across his shoulder or on a cycle unaffected by the happenings around him.In cities he has to climb numerous floors to deliver letters or other important documents.Most people do not even bother to speak a kind word or offer a glass of water but quickly take the letter and bang the door.

In India,the postal services are amongst the cheapest in the world and the postmen,the finest people to be found anywhere.
