It all started with one postal stamp of India. A hobby that
went on to become my best friend! Well, I understand it’s really difficult to
personify a hobby, but that’s what exactly happened with me. Nobody would ever
imagine how relieving collecting stamps
in India can be. When there is no much going on in the real world, who
wouldn’t seek an escape? Far away from boring reality, the imagery depicted on stamps in India, slowly take life. I
always have a dream to visit different beautiful locations of our country,
experiencing traditions that define us as Indians. Being brought up in a
middle-class family, you don’t get too many chances to travel that far. The
only opportunity you have is during school vacations when parents might make a
plan to visit and explore a new place. But then, that happens only once a year.
By collecting stamps in India, you
can actually get transported to a whole new world.
As they say, it’s all in your head! The
moment you decide to imagine, you can go wherever you wish to. Stamps in India cover various
interesting topics and collecting them can actually enrich your knowledge. It’s
at least better than other pastimes like whiling away time on the internet or
social media websites. The first thing
you need to do when you find a postal
stamp of India, is read about whatever is depicted on them. The best part
of researching this ways is that there is no time constraint. You are not
preparing for an exam or something. Relax, take your own sweet time and
understand concepts for actually understanding them and not for clearing your
exams. Apart from that, when I started indulging myself in collecting stamps in India, I started opening up,
talking to random people who are into the hobby, making more genuine friends!
