Blog visiting was also affected. <br />But in the last one week I realised there is a problem -- am not able to post pics from Picasa/hello. Must be something to do with the beta blogger. Hope to start soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11731177.post-37701651540158139282006-12-02T03:48:00.000+05:302006-12-02T03:48:00.000+05:30Bala jee,

I had stamps of several small british/ french colonies like St. Kittis & NEvis, Martinique Island.... I had parallelograms, banana shaped and rombhus stamps. I used to buy stamps also in T. Nagar. The shop name is Amar Traders near Gomathi Sweet Stall off Ranganathan Street. It was in the basement. The owner cheated me as I was a kid.<BR/> My friend stole my albums and gifted to his then girlfriend. That put an end to my collection. I miss my albums badly now.APAM NAPAThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418350855169771466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11731177.post-1160854264401505142006-10-15T01:01:00.000+05:302006-10-15T01:01:00.000+05:30Terrywhatlee - glad you like the series.

And thank you also for an interesting story.<BR/>Yes, people can get quite obsessed with their hobbies. <BR/>Once I saw a stamp collector, an elderly lady, check the back (the gummed side) of every stamp closely before buying them.<BR/>The clerk at the sales counter would tear a stamp off a sheet, the lady would promptly turn it over, peer intently at it for a few seconds, return it, and insist the clerk give her another one. <BR/>She selected about 10-15 stamps and in each case a stamp passed her test only on the second or third try. <BR/>The sales clerk got really irritated. The stamp buyer did not react at all but continued with her routine. <BR/>Finally, when she finished I asked her what she was looking for. She explained that if the stamp had been creased or folded even slightly due to rough handling it would clearly show on the gummed side. She liked her stamps in really mint condition.<BR/>I know of another -- a grandmom who diligently buys stamps for her grandchildren even though they do not seem to be too interested in the hobby.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11731177.post-1160604029265220722006-10-12T03:30:00.000+05:302006-10-12T03:30:00.000+05:30I used to collect stamps when I was a kid as did m...I used to collect stamps when I was a kid as did many other kids. I still have my collection. One day I had gone in to the GPO in Delhi with my father and there was a middle-aged man who had bought 4 sheets of stamps just then - a newly released one. It seemed like he was buying for a club of philatelists or something like that. I was curious and I picked up one of the sheets (very carefully) looked at it and laid it back on the wooden ledge - only to be yelled at by this complete stranger that now I had ruined the edge or something like that.<BR/><BR/>It was a very long time ago. It was at that time that I realized that I should stop collecting stamps soon or I will become obsessively nutty like him. Obsessive that he cared more about the edge of the stamp than the content itself.<BR/><BR/>Just a memory now and a story to tell. :)<BR/><BR/>Balaji, I like this series.terrywhatleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473598191016327883noreply@blogger.com
