A POSTMAN
A postman is a low paid government employee. His duty is to deliver letters and parcels. He is a familiar as well as a popular figure in our country. He renders essential services to the people. He has a uniform. Formerly he used to put on a khaki dress with a turban on his head. A leather bag hung across his shoulder. But nowadays the outfit does not seem to matter much. He uses an umbrella, to save himself .from the sun and the rain. Some postmen ride on bicycles. His letters, parcels and other things are safely carried in his bag. Everyday he opens the mail bag, sorts letters, parcels and money orders. Then he goes from door to door to deliver the postal articles to the right persons. People eagerly wait for the arrival of the postman. He is the symbol of both joy and sorrow. He carries both good and bad news. People become happy when they get good news from him. He works regularly in fair or foul weather. In rural areas he is very friendly with all. But in towns and cities he maintains an official air and does not mix freely with the people. The postman is a poor employee of the Postal Department. But the job he performs is very important. He plays a significant role in the smooth running of the Postal Department. He knows it well that his negligence may cause harm to people. So he is an important person. He is friendly to all. Considering his importance, the government should take a hand to improve his lot.
