character sketch of the postmaster in the chapter"the postmaster."

The Postmaster was a
Calcutta boy. He was posted to
a small village Ulapur. He didn't like to live in a
village. He felt ill at ease like fish out of water in the
village. There he didn't find any good company. He missed the
metalled roads, buildings and crowd of people . He was an
educated man and felt odd living in the village
with iiliterate people. He had a helper in his house named
Ratan, who was an orphan girl.
She did domestic work of his house and took
care of him. During the time of Shravan the
postmaster felt ill and missed
his family members- mother  and sister. Ratan
nursed him tenderly and warmly. Ratan was the only
good company for the postmaster. He taught
alphabet to Ratan and shared feeling of memories of his mother and
sister. When the postmaster was ill, ratan put her soft
hands on his head that remembered the
postmaster his mother. In this condition
of sickness he remembered his mother and
sister and wanted to return back so that he resigned from
his job. when he told his decision to Ratan she liked to go with him but according to
postmaster philosophy "separations and deaths
are the part of life "
