Stamps from UAE...

Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Date of Issue - 31 December 2008

Hi ! Here are some beautiful stamps issued by UAE. Though these stamps were issued in 2008 but these nice issues depict global themes of Olympic Games & Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Some more colorful stamps on fruits. These are special dates of UAE. These have been sent by our distinguished member Mr. Pradip Jain of Patna. I am also showing here an old aerogramme with mistake in Hindi inscription of Bhutan sent by Mr. S. P. Bansal of Firozabad. This error is old but interesting as Bhutan is wrongly spelt in Hindi. It should be noticed that we often come across several mistakes in Hindi inscription, given on Postage stamps and Postal stationery. Hindi is our national language such mistakes should not be repeated. As it is a disgrace to our natioanl language. Before the printing of stamps and postal stationery, Hindi words must be thoroughly checked by Hindi Officers of Postal Department. Our thanks to Mr. Jain and Mr. S. P. Bansal for today's Post !......This is all for Today !.....Till Next Post.......Have a Nice Time !
