Philately grew as a hobby since my childhood inspired by my father who has a huge collection of both the Indian and foreign stamps. I have always admired the Indian stamps with dance forms, Michelangelo, freedom fighters, some stamps from Singapore with birds, Britain stamps with Queen, to name a few. At home, when I am bored watching TV or reading a book, I gaze at the beautiful stamp collections by my father. One of the biggest asset indeed.
In a decade, I have hardly contributed to the collection since no one sends a greeting card nor a hand written letter smelling fresh ink. It is hard to see stamps these days. Of late, I learned that the Post Office also delivers the new released stamps when subscribed to the philately club member ship for Rs 200/-.
Thus, keeping my philately collection alive. ;)
Have a look at the stamp released of yesteryear: 2009, 2008, 2007.
