[this letter is written by me to my daughter, Ashi, which I thought I should share with all] 1.4.15/Guwahati Airport Dear Ashi Today while reading a newspaper at Guwahati airport I read a news item that the department of posts ( India Post ), Government of India is closing down more than 100 years old money order service from 1st April 2015. I just thought since you have never seen anybody using this service today or used this service anytime yourself, you may not know its importance in the life of an individual in the yester years. So I thought to let you know this whole story and our experience and how important it used to be in our lives of which you are an important part today. Money Order was a service through which money could be sent to the addressee through hand. What was required was that you go to your nearby post office, fill up the form on both the sides on which you were suppose to put name and address of the person to whom you wanted money to be delivered,
