I remember buying stamps from that shop in Shanti Vihar in Mylapore (most of those stamps were fake - you know like 50 stamps for Rs20 or 30 or whatever ). I became friends with my closest friends in school after the scoundrels screwed me over royally in a stamp exchange in the fifth standard - we will still have a chuckle at that incident if we meet. <BR/><BR/>Another time, a friend's classmate somehow got the address of a postmaster of a town in Singapore (Bikut Timah) who would send you some stamps if you sent him a self-addressed envelope. This character wouldn't share the address with us. Me and my friend plotted to find out the address and what an adventure that was (we did find out the address and we did get some stamps).Rajagopalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17670432820966241636noreply@blogger.com
