..So then there were post cards, 153 of them, hot out of the printer, cut in the cutting lab and bundled up into beautiful, huge piles.
(The front and back for printing)
..Not to forget acknowledgements both behind the post card and in hand :)
Thanks to the digital technology, when almost no one gets the time to get the unlimited lot of photos printed, every one who contributed photos to my postcard cause (!) got on their toes to see how pretty their photographs looked in print; the colours, the touch!
Krishna immediately called her sister up to get her address to write to her. Swarna and Yuhina wanted to write to their cousins. Shipra also asked for one, to write to 'someone'! And then there were queries: "How much does it cost to post to America?", "Where do you get stamps?", "Where do you post the letter?", "Who's coming with me to the post office?" Really, it all sounded so cute!! Yes, I felt like I was spreading the love!! Last time it was crochet, and Swati, Krishna and Shipra all got to doing it, making themselves Wacom covers and hard disk covers and what not; and this time, postcards. Unlike the others in class with their long lasting affairs, I'm the one who keeps falling in love over and over again; the kind of love I love to share!! :D
Right after this, I happened to have a weekend programme, and it gave me a day in Delhi; and if it's Delhi, the GPO has to come in the picture. Oh, they have the most beautiful collection of stamps in their philately! So I added to my collection, and then, of course, it didn't stop there.
Yes, it's not; it's merely for safekeeping! :D
So, I managed to make myself a safekeeping book for my stamps, just until I let go of them into the whole wide world!! :D (Basically that month old brown envelope housing them was beginning to tear, so I had to resort to this!)
(The much awaited '100 years of Indian Cinema' collection, finally in my hands! :D )
..With a lot of verbal contribution from dear brother!
..And some jugaadu binding!!
So my day went well, really well! What are you gonna do to make yourself smile today? :D
