My very own khadi stamp................

After running after for a long time for "THE" Khadi stamp of Mahatma Gandhi, I finally have my own. Yeaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh...............Its a collector stamp, and for the first time, printed on another material other than paper in India.



Anyways, with this whole running around for this stamp, I realise with "JUGAAD", and a little "SIRJI", everything works and same applies to super fat Mumbai. May be it works the best here. A very nice gentleman from post office in Mumbai,called me and my friend Aarti, after two months of meeting him that we can come collect our stamps. First we thought, we might have to pay extra money but no we paid the price printed on the brochure. SO my point is, THERE ARE SOME REALLY NICE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD!!!!!

Networking ....mumbai city

In a quest to add more postage stamps to my collection, me and friend ventured out to South Mumbai, to the Philately bureau of Mumbai, came across its not just a collection but a whole business......I went there to get hold of the khadi stamp of Gandhi released at INDIPEX, but man I realised I had to pay double the amount and its in waiting.....we might get a call from a third person.

But we managed to pick up some interesting ones too....And what to we discover a shop inside GPO, which sells tribal art, It was really awesome and real friendly people I must say..Then we went to Crawford Market to pick up some essentials, and boom what do we discover, a nice shop on the second floor. A vendor took us there, since my friend wanted to buy a table runner, and on the second floor of one of those old buildings of that area, a house cum shop with export defects of all type of mats with very reasonable rates......thats what we discovered...all happy with our day's out

A good trip and a networking .....city doodles continues....
