Hi! In today’s Post here are the most Romantic Postage stamps ever issued by a country . The stamps are in heart shape and look very unusual from the normal postage stamps. These have been issued to promote tourism in the country. This is Vanuatu Post’s first stamp series of 2009 – “Romantic Vanuatu”. The stamp series launched on 28th January showcases Vanuatu’s romantic locations and Vanuatu’s growing status as the premier wedding and honeymoon destination. So these are some of the most beautiful and unique postage stamps issued for special occasion, issued this year. I have just received a beautiful Post card from my Blogger friend Ada from Poland ! Thanks Ada ! Please accept my Greetings for a very Happy Easter ! This is all for today….Till Next Post …Have a Nice Time !
Romantic destinations do not come much better than Vanuatu. Long walks on white sandy beaches, aquamarine water splashing at the shore as the sun sets on the horizon – this is not a postcard, but a reality for those lucky enough to visit this magical country. Add to that unique culture and stunning terrain and you have possibly the world’s most romantic destination. Vanuatu’s uniqueness is in its blend of ancient culture, breath-taking scenery, fine dining and adventure-filled activities. That is if you want adventure. Your kind of adventure could be lazing in a hammock on deserted Champagne Beach in Santo, swimming in the crystal clear waters of Erakor Lagoon or climbing the world’s most active and accessible volcano, Mount Yasur on Tanna. Honeymooners have long been flocking to Vanuatu for its unspoiled beauty. In recent years couples have begun choosing Vanuatu as their wedding location. Beautiful resorts, private beaches, even active volcanoes are on offer for an unforgettable wedding day.

I wish to bring to your kind notice that 2010 is the 100th Birth Anniversary of Mother Teresa. Unfortunately the Dept of Post has completely forgotten this fact while finalizing the stamp issue programme for this year. Many other countries have included Mother Teresa in their 2010 Stamp issue programmes. It will be highly unfair if India Post does not bring out a commemorative Postage stamp or Souvenir Sheet to commemorate the 100 Birthday of the Noble Laureate Mother Teresa.
The philatelic community of this country would be very happy if necessary steps are taken by India Post to bring out a stamp on Mother Teresa.
Hi ! I am back to my Blog. I had been busy here with recent Kullu exhibition. Though the exhibition was small but it was well organized by Department of Posts. The Department gave fabulous prizes to the participants for the encouragement and promotion of this hobby. The great effort of SSP, Mandi Division and the postal staff of Kullu and Mandi is highly appreciated for organizing a successful Philatelic Exhibition in small city of Kullu. The exhibition was attended by large number of students & teachers of the local schools. A workshop was also conducted during the exhibition. I had a nice time during the exhibition. Here are some beautiful philatelic items received by my Blogger friends, The first one shown below by Mr EN Limansky from Riga, Latvia & the other one ia nice sheetlet of Taj Mahal sent by Mr K.
