Hi manu
Summary
Coachman Ali is very old and sick and has been regularly
visiting the post office for the last five years. Unfavourable
weather and failing health don’t deter him. He religiously
visits the post office every day in the hope of receiving a
letter from his daughter Miriam, his only child, who had
got married to a soldier and left him. Getting a letter from
Miriam becomes the most important mission for him and
every day Ali is the first one to arrive and the last one to
leave, but no letter ever comes for him. Everyday he goes
back dejected and empty-handed. Everyone at the post
office considers him mad and derives pleasure in
tormenting him.

Coachman Ali had been a famous shikari and a
crackshot in his yester-years. When Miriam left him and
did not respond, he realised the pain of suffering and
separation. So he gave up hunting altogether.

One day Ali is in very bad physical condition and
reaches the post office with great effort. This makes him
impatient and an argument takes place with the postmaster.
The postmaster has his own preoccupations, he becomes
irritated and calls Ali ‘a pest’. Ali is humiliated, crestfallen
but not bereft of hope. While leaving, Ali gives five
guineas to Laxmi Das, the clerk, and extracts a promise
from him that he will deliver Miriam’s letter to his grave.
Ali’s prediction proves true and he is not seen for some
time.

By a strange quirk of fate, the postmaster finds
himself in a similar situation. His daughter is ill in another
town and he has no information of her condition. He is
eagerly waiting for his daughter’s letter, when he chances
upon Miriam’s letter for her father. Since the postman is
also suffering the pain of separation, he understands the
value of a child’s letter for the father. Next morning he
delivers the letter personally to Ali. He is later shocked to
discover that Ali has been dead for the past three months.
Laxmi Das, the clerk, recounts his last meeting with Ali
and their suspicions are further confirmed to see Miriam’s
letter lying near the door. To compensate for their bad
treatment, both the postmaster and Laxmi Das visit Ali’s
grave and place the letter on it.

This proves to be a very traumatic experience for
the postmaster. He realises that letters are not just
envelopes and postcards, but they have great human worth.
The newly awakened father’s heart curses him for
maltreating Ali. His only fate is now to wait for his
daughter’s letter and spend another night in restless
anxiety.
