A scar that never heals

In 2011, I had made a pact with myself never to yield the pen and write poems out of depression. But looks like I have again gone back to depression now and before I could realise, I penned this down. I hope to never write something silly again.


A scar that never heals

The scars were old and already deep
And I could do nothing but weep
And with this cut, it begins to hurt
As the pain begins to flirt

These scars never seem to heal
And they may have struck a deal
But I'm a fool to fall into the trap
When I know I shall end up in a pile of crap

Sometimes I wonder what it is with me
I know I'm not a pretty sight to see
I guess I'm just a body with a huge lard of fat
But I guess I like to be that.

They say no pain no gain
But I did try and it was in vain
Nothing good came out it ever
When I looked fifteen kilos leaner

Every time this happens I build a wall
So high that I cannot hear anyone call
But when I decide to come out in the open
It's all with a hope against hopen

Time to get back once again into that shell
For I know I'm better off being in hell
As I don't seem to have any such luck
And I can bet you from a dime to a buck!



I do hope to stop penning these stupid lines soon.

Postcrossing Stamps

Postrossing, a postcard exchange project wherein one can send and receive postcards from random places in the world. It's a new hobby that I've picked up since November 2015 and I've been hooked. One hobby or a passion that I think I may have stuck to the longest. Through the Postcrossing hobby, the passion to collect stamps has been re-kindled after seeing so may beautiful stamps sent by others.

As Postcrossing is widely recognised by many countries now, the postal department has issued stamps officially as a part of the project and as a part of their release. My plan is to collect all the philatelic products issued by these countries for my thematic collection - Postcrossing.

1. Slovenia (2015)
I was gifted this set by a Postcrossing friend from Slovenia. She gifted me the First Day Cover (FDC) with the stamp and its cancellation, along with a mint single stamp.
































2. Guernsey (2014)
Bought this set from the Guernsey Post site. Bought the mint single stamp and the maxicard.
(Looking for the cancelled FDC)










3. Guernsey (2016)
Bought this set from the Guernsey Post site. Bought the mint double stamps, the cancelled FDC, and the maxicards.




















4. the Netherlands (2016)
Bought this set from the WOPA site. Bought the FDCs and the sheetlet.
(Looking for the individual stamps).































5. Austria (2016)
Bought this single issued stamp and the cancelled FDC from the Austria Post site.




















6. Belarus (2017)
A postcrossing friend of mine from Russia sent me this FDC and the maxcicard when she was in Belarus.
(Looking for the mint single stamp.)






















7. Russia (2015)
A postcrossing friend of mine from Russia sent me this single stamp as a birthday gift..
(Looking for the FDC with the single stamp and the cancellation.)






















8. Russia (2016)
A postcrossing friend of mine from Russia sent me this single stamp as a birthday gift..
(Looking for the FDC with the single stamp and the cancellation.)


























Although there are very few countries that have issued the stamps, but sometimes it does get to be a challenge to get them all. Looking at the following countries that have issued so far. Looking at the mint stamps, FDC, Maxicards, and sheetlets. Willing to swap for postcards, Indian stamps, Indian MS or name your price. 

Following are the countries that I'm looking for:

  1. The Netherlands - 2011
  2. Finland - 2013
  3. Lithuania - 2013
  4. Belarus - 2014
  5. Czech Repubic - 2015
  6. Ukraine - 2015
  7. Kazakhstan - 2015
  8. Bulgaria - 2015
  9. Poland - 2016
  10. Romania - 2017
  11. Indonesia - 2017
  12. Switzerland - 2017

Stamps : Europa 2017 - Castles

The Europa stamp program is an annual joint issue of stamps with a common design or theme by postal administrations of member countries of the European countries. I recently came across this interesting stamp program and decided to start a collection of this stamp program. Every year they have a specific theme that all countries will have to issue. This year (2017), the theme is castles and following is what I have in my collection.


1. Finland 
A Postcrosser friend from Finland who without any second thoughts agreed to swap this stamp for a couple of postcards from me.



2. Netherlands
Another Postcrosser friend from Netherlands. Was initally hesitating to ask her for this one when she had posted the stamp sheet on facebook. I finally decided to muster up the courage and asked her. She did say that she'll think about it and after that I didn't want to bother her about it. After a few weeks, I saw an envelope from Netherlands and there I was caught by surprise by her wonderful gesture. She actually wanted to surprise me by sending this set and hence her 'will think about it' reply. Bless her as she is a wonderful swapper.











3. Slovakia
This was sent by yet another Postcrosser from Slovenia which was sent as a surprise gift to me from her. She is a wonderful swapper and from what I heard she has a lovely collection of stamps. 















4. Sweden
This was a birthday gift from a friend who I met through Postcrossing project in Bangalore. We initially met as just acquaintances, but through a few meetings, he actually re-ignited my passion for philately when he showed me his awesome collection and encouraged me to do do the same. We meet often and discuss stamps, postcards, common friends, his experiences on stamp collection, etc. He loves to talk about stamps and you should see the sparkle in his eyes when he talks about stamps.

















5. Austria
Bought this stamp from the Austrian Post site.





















6. Jersey
My friend in Bangalore gave me this set of stamps from Jersey. 





















7. Turkey

My friend from Turkey gave me this set of stamps in exchange for Indian postcards.




8. Belgium

A Postcrosser from Belgium forwarded me this Belgian release. I was surprised to find that the stamp was a bit bit rough around the castle and then I realised its a  sand castle and hence it was meant to be a bit rough. Innovative isn't it?















The above are the scans of the stamps that are in my collection so far. Looking for the rest of the countries who have issued the stamps. Looks for swaps or exchange with Indian postcards, stamps. If you do have them in your collection, do let me know and I shall be glad to exchange.

My Missing UNESCO Postcards

It's been a while since I'm now into Postcrossing. When I joined in October/November 2015, I guess as a newbie I was clueless as was not sure how to go about focusing on certain themes. On May 15, 2016, some of the Postcrossers in Bangalore decided to hold an exhibition on postcards for public display. The theme was UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Then I had received only 3 WHS sites through the official forum and they managed to find it's place on the display boards.

After that, I've decided to collect all the sites that are identified as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. So here is my missing list. If you happen to have them and would like to send me a card, please do feel free to forward them to me on my address. I prefer them sent as Written and Stamped, not sent in an envelope, from the country of origin.

Contact me for my address and I shall be happy to furnish it.


PS: I also like to collect UNESCO WHS stamps. You can send them to me on the card and also as a mint stamp in an envelope.
