I am a letter. A letter written with a pen and paper by Reena to
her friend Ahmed. I was put in a letter box. The postman took
me out and put me in a big bag. Taking a ride on the postman’s
bicycle, I reached the post office. There, I was taken out of the
big bag and stamped hard. The stamp was of Agartala, from
where my travel began.
After getting stamped I reached another big bag. This bag
had many more letters, all heading for Delhi. The red postal
van dropped me at the railway station. There I got into a train
going to Delhi.
After a long journey of five to six days I reached Delhi. I was
sorted as per the area mentioned in the address written on me.
One more stamp was put on me. Finally, the postman dropped
me at Ahmed’s house.

letters reached distant places when there were no trains?
Visit to a post office Visit to a post office Visit to a post office Visit to a post office Visit to a post office
Visit a post office near your house or school. Observe how letters
reach here and are sent from here.
Ask the children to enquire from some old people how letters were
delivered in olden times. Children might need help in writing the
address on the postcards.
The understanding that old people are an important source to know
about the past will encourage children to interact with them.
i What are the different kinds of items available?
i What are their costs?
i Can you send a message to your friend outside
        India using the postcard that Reena used?
i What other work takes place here?
