THE POSTMAN

In the past people used to live at home with their kith and kin with the advancement of civilization man now lives far from his families and relatives. So he has to remain anxious for news from near and dear ones. This demand has been met up through the introduction of postal system. Thus, the service of the postman comes into being.

The postman is employed by the postal department to deliver postal matters like letters, parcels, money orders etc to the addressees. In our daily life the postman is the most familiar figure. Everyday at a particular time he is seen passing through the streets. He is the most eagerly waited person. Our heart swells with expectation when we see him approaching our doors. He bring news from our near and dear ones living in home and abroad.

The postman renders invaluable service to us. He attends the office in time and performs his duties sincerely. If he fails to discharge his duties properly any day, it may cause irreparable loss to the persons concerned. In all weathers good and bad he performs his duty.

The postman starts his work in the post office. He opens the mail bag and sorts the letters and other postal articles. He hands over the outgoing mail to the runner. Then he starts for his own round.

But in the town the postman maintains an official air. He moves very fast from door to door and quietly drops the letters into the boxes. If he finds a house without letter box, he drops down the letters through the doors or windows. In delivering registered parcels, money orders etc, he calls the addressees.

The service of the post man is of great importance to us, but he is very much neglected. He is ill paid and can hardly make both ends. He is not held in due respect Proper steps should be taken so that he can maintain his family keeping his brain away from the fear of wants. He is a link all over the world.
