There are some things in life that you
start missing more, the more you start ignoring them. I was like any other kid
in school, liked to go out and play football after I finished my homework.
Worries were fewer in those days; the only worry was about clearing your class
tests. Nobody can forget these fond memories of childhood. Stress levels start
increasing as you grow older and each one of us has his or her way to deal with
it. Entertainment and sports are the most common ways of tackling stress. But I
fell in love with collecting stamps, especially Indian stamps at a very young
age. That was my way to de-stress and relax. There was nobody to encourage me; In
fact, there were some relatives who told me that I was wasting my time. Nothing
could really stop me from collecting Indian Stamps back then.
I had a group of friends who used to
collect Indian stamps as well. Like most other collectors, I started exchanging
my stamps for the ones I desired. Slowly but steadily, my collection started
growing, A single box was not enough to hold all the Indian stamps that I collected.
The next month onwards I decided that I will save my pocket money and buy
myself an album for keeping my collecting of Indian stamps safely. I went an
extra mile, stopped buying chocolates just to save my pocket money. I did it
for the next 3 months and finally I had enough money to buy an album. Ever
since I bought that album, I started arranging and sorting the collection of
Indian stamps I had, based on different themes. Each page had stamps belonging
to a particular theme. Some were famous personalities, some were actors and
some featured birds on them and others depicted trains of India. In the whole
process, I gained a lot of knowledge about different facets of India. With my
stamp collection of Indian stamps, I became richer in knowledge.
As I started growing older though, I got
busy with my work and forgot about my hobby. It was only recently when I
checked my old drawer and found my first album of Indian stamps. I was
delighted and from that point in time, I decided that I will continue
collection Indian stamps!
