My Stamp

“My Stamp”: the brand name for personalised postage stamps. Karan saw the ad outside the GPO, and guess what we got made?

The only problem with using a book cover, rather than a passport sized picture of a person as advertised, is that we need a square image, not a rectangular one. Even though we had to crop the images quite a bit, how can I not be excited about these Duronto and Toy Train stamps? I can actually use them when I send letters (though I’m not yet convinced that I will!)!

What I loved about the process of getting these made was that the person at the post office was lovely! He did not just make these for us; he wanted to learn how to crop and resize using paint! He was so happy with the stamps that he made me pose with them in front of the Madhubala stamp so that he could take a photograph. He even went out of the philately department and into the post office itself to show the stamps to everyone!Varsha with stamps
