I inherited this treasure from my sister, and she herself inherited this from our uncle. There are nearly 189 stamps at present. There are no rare specimens,, but the presence of a "PERFIN" needs a special mention. The collection needs to be thematic or subject based to be called as philately, or else, it is simply called stamp collection. I have chosen two themes, "PERSONALITIES" and "ARTWORKS", so that my nephew and niece may inherit when they become grown ups.
With advanced technologies ruling the world postage uses have shrunk very much. So i will be having a tough time asking friends to help me. So it is going to be more laborious task for my siblings.
I maintain a hard copy of this hand book for quick reference, and would like to see this blog as an interface to share knowledge and a database for my collection.
I thank my uncle and sister for leaving back a fortune for me. let me multiply these like talents given to the man as mentioned in "The Holy Bible"....Here Starts my work...
