ESSAY ON POSTMAN (400 WORDS) – ESSAY 2

‘The Postman in Our Village’

Introduction

We live in a residential society in a metropolitan city. The sight of a postman is very rare here. The postman usually delivers the letters at the society gate and that is where we pick them from. I only get to see a postman when I visit my grandparents during my summer vacation. They live in a beautiful village in North India. Postman is one of the few people who are awaited eagerly by the people of the village. We also look forward to his arrival each day.

The Joy of Receiving Letters

The atmosphere of villages is quite different from that of the cities. Children are seen playing together in the neighborhood all day long. Elderly people also gather to chit chat during the afternoon and evening hours. I and my siblings also play and run around the village area. The joy of the kids playing around increases particularly when they see the postman coming. They run after him chasing his bicycle, greeting him and giggling away to glory.

Everyone is eager to know if they have received any letter or another postal article. It is like receiving a precious gift. The postman seems as glad as the people around. He stops by at the addresses where the letters are to be delivered. People living in villages are quite courteous. They offer him water. Some of them even offer him sweets on special occasions.

There is no bank or ATM in our village. The nearest one is around 10 km away. It is difficult to withdraw money transferred to the bank. This is the reason why money orders are quite common here. People prefer receiving their payments through money orders. Many children also send money orders to their parents living in the village so that they can purchase things with ease. The postman understands the importance of money orders. He carefully delivers them to the respective recipients.

The Postman Reads the Letters

Many people in the village do not know how to read. So, in addition to distributing letters, the postman also takes it as his responsibility to read the letters to villagers. He does this job with joy. He sits down and patiently conveys the message written in the letter to the people. In case, there is some good news, people reward the postman to express and share their happiness.

Conclusion

The bond between the villagers and the postman is really strong. It is a treat to watch the postman riding through the village. We miss this in the city.
