Written in 1912, Dakghar (The Post Office) is the story of Amal, a terminally ill eight-year-old boy, who is confined indoors. His only contact with the outside world is through his window from where he watches the village life, engages passers-by in eager conversation and is fascinated by a new Post Office visible in the distance. Amal with his touching curiosity, teaches others life's simple but essential truths while awaiting his own spiritual liberation
