And the show started with the description of post man's life , an autobiography, and the performance revealed the relationship among the people by addressing the letters of an young aspirant who stays in Kolkata writes to his wife about his arrival, The second letter which reveals the story of son who wants to stay away from his home but he was unable to inform his parents than he wrote a letter to his father who is nothing but the post man. A shocking letter for the post man from his son connects his realtionship with the son and how he had brought up from his childhood.
