Stamp collecting is hobby that many pursue just for the fun of it. If you were to ask a collector what drives him/ her into this hobby, you won’t really find a specific answer. Same is the case with me. I have been collecting stamps right from my childhood days and there is nothing in this world that can stop me from doing so. Just like each collector has his or her area or interest, over the years I have developed a liking for
Rare British India Stamps. In fact, I started off by collecting foreign stamps in the beginning. My father used to work in the sales department of a private firm. Back in those days, letters was commonly used for correspondence. My dad used to give me every letter that he received at office. I used to take out the stamps from every envelope by soaking them in a mug filled with water. Slowly I started craving for more stamps. I wanted one stamp from every country.
By the time I completed my graduation, I had an impressive collection of foreign stamps. Something made me want to take a look at some beautiful stamps of India. From that point onwards a new journey began as a collector. At first, I was interested in collecting modern Indian stamps of various themes. Then I started falling in love with Old British India Stamps. I had taken up history for graduation and that’s the reason why probably I was inclined towards collecting Indian British Stamps. I started growing a year-wise collection of Stamps of British India. I kept looking for opportunities, kept networking and meeting people. I was looking for a chance to add quality stamps to my collection of British India Stamps. Today I can proudly say that I have a fairly impressive collection of Rare British India stamps that any collector would love to posses.
