Answer:

The main theme of the short story "Appointment with love" by S.I Kishor is that when we love someone, we should love the person for who they really are and not what they look like and that it is possible for two people who have never met to fall in love.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Appointment with love" is a short story about a young lieutenant who fell in love with a lady he has never met who he only saw on the front page of a book. The author sends out a message to readers than love is possible with two people that has not met before. She showed the possibility of a strong relationship even with distance and that two people can be very close although they have never seen, so long as they are able to trust their instincts and inner feelings.

The short story talks about the idea of true love, it has a melodramatic slant. The lieutenant has communicated with the woman for over a year and then they decided to meet at first he was disappointed to see a woman well past forty but still greeted her because their relationship could be more valuable than love. The Author showed how the woman has the power to reach inside the Lieutenant and renew his strength during the war even though they are not together.
