Date of Issue : 9 May 2008Hi ! Writing letters used to be a very interesting few years back. It was the best way to convey one's feelings, emotions and every kind of information. Moreover It was the only way to convey heart to heart feelings that could not be expressed to a person when talking face to face. But with the time and dominance of electronic devices these changed to e-mails and phone calls. Though e- mail is the easiest way to send message but it has not the essence & warmth of the letters which were written with pen on a paper. As the life has become very fast these days, we don't even use full words while sending e-mail it is always brief and written using abbreviations. But I still love the old fountain pen which I used to write with during my school days. I have selected a few stamps to show you here on the the theme of Letter Writing. It was also the theme of EUROPA of 2008. Many beautiful stamps have been issued on this theme all over Europe. I had written about some of them, few months back. Here are some more which I liked most and I want to share them with you.The first one which appears above is from Aland and the other is a miniature sheet from Spain which appears below showing a very romantic mood with full of emotions . You can see there letters beside beautiful flowers and a piece of heart felt lines of the letter sticked on the wall. This is really a very nice idea, depicted on this souvenir sheet showing deep emotions of some one in love. There are some more magnificent stamps shown below it . In our regular series some FDCs of se-tenant stamps from collection of Mr. Shrikant Parikh.This is all for today..... More in Next.......Till then Have a Nice Time.....
