The general problem with Indian mentality is that we are resistant to change in many ways. Tries and tested Ideas and ideologies always take centre stage and anyone who is looking to break these barriers is pushed away forcibly. Today, I want to talk about personal interests and hobbies.As a child, I was always fascinated by the idea of collecting different kinds of banknotes. When I showed my parents the first note in my collection, they not only laughed at me but also discouraged me to continue this hobby. Being a very adamant boy from the beginning, I somehow found a way to stay in touch with my inner passion.
After a few years, I started developing interest in specific kind of banknotes like Old British India Notes. When I was taught about British India history in school, I started relating all those events from our past while studying about British Indian currency notes as well. These Rare British India notes were physical; almost like a reference point with which I could easily relate. All thanks to my passion for collecting British India notes, I started scoring well in my history exams. Being an average inattentive student in school, both my parents and teachers were surprised by my fabulous performances. I badly wanted to tell my parents that my life had changed after I started collecting currency of British India, but I feared that they would all again laugh at me. So I decided to keep this secret to myself until I reached college where I realized that there are many like me who are interested in collecting old Indian British banknotes.
I slowly started building my network of friends who also liked collecting banknotes. Most of them were into republic India notes. I was the star attraction among them as I had a unique collection of Old British India Notes. Since then, my confidence level shot up and there has been no looking back!
