Shrikant Parikh writes from Ahmedabad.....

I was in Mount Abu (Rajasthan) last week and obtained some philatelic material from the Treasury of Mount Abu Post-office, (there is no philatelic counter) including a few MS of Fairs of India, issued on 27.02.2007.While at home I found to my great surprise the color differerence with the MS I already have and with the"GOA CARNIVAL" stamp in particular. It is apparent without magnifyig glass the greyish blue color of lake in SONEPUR FAIR and PUSHKAR FAIR and immense color variation in Peacock, wings of Butterfly, sitting girls and T-shirt of joker in GOA CARNIVAL stamp.This MS will find place in collection of Se-tenant stamps and of course in album of Miniature Sheets.
