About Harsh...
Update : June-2023 - Travel mode activated so my father can send postcards from United Kingdom (GB)
Feb-2023 - Account set to inactive as my father takes up a work assignment in the UK. I will stay back in India with my mother to focus on completion of high school in the next 2 years.
If you wish to surprise me back in India, please send me mail at the below address
Covid changed the world in many ways. I metamorphed from being a naughty & adorable boy to a wilder & more vibrant teenager
Always effervescent by nature, going by the meaning of my name - JOY or HAPPINESS; an Indian name pronounced as 'h-uh-rr-sh'
"Every sender is my teacher & every postcard my window to the world"

Happy to receive decorative mastheads printed on days of national importance & festivals. Also welcome are sports, travel, home, business, international & other features but no magazines please
No restrictions on language, date & frequency (daily, weekly, monthly, etc). If any of the news is noteworthy then include the same

About me during the Covid years

-Kumon Maths completer in March 2021 & Kumon English completer in June 2021
-started learning to play the guitar from June 2021
-developed a strong bond with the pigeons & squirrels outside my window & on the terrace by feeding them twice a day
-spending each passing day with my father in the same room (online school & work from home) & we have developed a ‘love-hate relationship’. And we miss each other a lot now :(
