Postmaster

"The Postmaster" by Rabindranath Tagore tells the story of a young postmaster from Calcutta who is assigned to a small village in Bengal, where he feels out of place. He forms an unlikely friendship with Ratan, an orphaned village girl who does chores for him. Despite their bond, when he decides to leave the village due to illness and isolation, Ratan's request to accompany him is denied. He leaves her with some money, which she refuses, and returns to Calcutta, pondering the unavoidable separations in life. Ratan remains in the village, hoping futilely for his return, highlighting the theme of transient human connections and the harsh reality of social divisions.
