Fragrance of Roses

Hi ! It's a transition period for us in a new place. But I miss my old place,Chopal very much. It's beautiful forest house, people of chopal and of course the heavy snowfall there which often chilled us but it was a great fun to enjoy the snow and making snowman till the fingers became numb and frozen. We may not get a chance to see the snowfall here in Kullu but it's also a lovely place with the beautiful river- Beas surrounded by hills. While remembering my old place I just want to share a photo of our house taken during last snowfall. Its a bit personal and off philately. The kids in the picture are my sons. It's winter time in most parts of India. Hope you would like it.I have received a block of GAIL India Ltd in a typical position with two sets of gutter margins from our distinguished member Mr. Shrikant Parikh of Ahmedabad.Here is its picture. In our regular series very sweet fragrance of Roses from the collection of Mr. Parikh. These are the special FDCs obtained in differernt positions of stamps. Just have a close look to these fragrant pieces. These are very special for today's post as the stamps have been printed on scented paper with the real sweet fragrance of roses. This is all for Today !....Till Next Post...... Have a Great Time!......
