Namaste!
After starting Postcrossing, two things that make me most happy are the 'Hurray!' mail and a postcard and stamps in my mailbox.
I live in Dehradun.
This is a valley in the foothills of The Himalayas.
My ancestral village is in the Garhwal range of mountains of the Himalayas and I am a Garhwali, a native of this region.
Postcrossing is a blessing as it connects me to people around the globe.
Please share why you started Postcrossing and what your name means. Also, please tell me how you store your postcards.
I love postal stamps and Miniature sheets!
I have a hobby of collecting old and new postal stamps.
Stamps from the colonial territories are my favourite. Whenever I get such a stamp I read about the full history of the territory.
I believe in the Shlok -
ॐ सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः
सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः।
सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥
May all sentient beings be at peace,
may no one suffer from illness,
May all see what is auspicious, may no one suffer.
Om peace, peace, peace.
