The first story is about Nanda, a young man who leaves Calcutta to work
as a postmaster in an isolated malaria-infested village. The postmaster
is looked after by a young orphan girl, Ratan. His only solace in the
village is in teaching Ratan how to read and write. The second story is
about a student, Amulya, who returns to his village after finishing his
exams. His widowed mother is very anxious for him to marry, and has
already picked out a girl. He rejects his mother's choice and, being
forced to choose some girl, marries a lively tomboy who is not ready to
give up her freedom.
