"The Post Office" by Rabindranath Tagore is a play written in 1912. It follows Amal, a child confined to his adoptive uncle's home by an incurable disease. From the courtyard, Amal talks to passers-by and dreams about distant places. When a new post office is built nearby, he imagines receiving a letter from the King. The play explores themes of freedom and imagination through the eyes of a homebound child facing mortality.
