Points: The subject of hobby — The hobby as a passion — The range of its interest.
I love collecting stamps. You may call it my hobby. For I feel a passion for stamp collecting or philately. It was on one of my birthdays that a friend presented me a nice stamp album. That was the beginning of my interest in stamp-collecting.
My stamp album is now a rich possession. It is the picture of a world in miniature. It includes countries like the USSR, USA, France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Italy, Japan, Sweden, Hungary, Poland, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Pakistan. Some stamps commemorate men like Leonardo Da Vinci, Rabindranath, Gandhi, George Washington, Lenin and so on. Some great national and international events like the Olympic, the Asian Games are also illustrated in them. Some stamps are issued on occasions like man’s landing on the moon, the launching of Aryabhat, and so on. Some stamps are very colourful and bear the pictures of birds, beasts, mountains and lakes. They invite3 us to the most beautiful spots on earth—the Niagra Falls, the Tajmahal, the Grand Canyon, the Dal Lake, the Alps, the Ajanta Caves, Antarctica etc.
It took me long years to collect all these stamps. I started with only a few familiar ones. From my father’s friends who received letters from abroad I add to my stock every month. Whenever possible, I read articles on stamps and collection. I am proud that my collection of stamps is now an envy of my friends.
