A Postman of Post Office

A postman is a useful member of society, Sohan Lal is the postman of our area. He is a very honest man. He does his duty very sincerely. He delivers the dak regularly and in time.

He brings messages of joy and sorrow. He has a big bag which he hangs on the handle of his bicycle. In this bag he puts the letters, parcels and money orders which he has to deliver. Sometimes, when a parcel is heavy, he has to place it on the carrier of his bicycle.

He delivers the post in sun and shower. He never desists from his duty. Sometimes, when an illiterate person asks him to read a letter for him, he never refuses to do so.

He has an arduous duty. But his salary is low.

He is glad that he gets a uniform once in a year. In spite of being poor, he is not greedy.

When he is offered a present of money or kind on any festival, he politely refuses to accept it. He is, in fact, contented with his lot, although he has to live from hand to month.

People wait for him eagerly. He is a great messenger. It is, however, a pity when people complain against him or take him to task for a minor mistake, such as throwing letters in a wrong house or throwing them in the open. Of course, he should not do so and should be more careful, but this point can be explained to him in a polite language.

It is now a matter of joy that a postman is now promoted to be a clerk in the post office after some years of service. Let us hope some more steps will be taken to improve the lot of Postmen.
