THE KING OF HOBBIES
Travellers' World
|February - March 2023
Happiness is life; a life without happiness is not worth anything. There are many ways for a person to keep him happy. If one needs to say in the words of Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, Happy is a man who can make a living by his hobby. Philately is one of those hobbies by which you can be happy, not only be happy but also acquire more knowledge.
Philately means the study or the art of collecting stamps and its related ones. The term "Philately" is derived from two Greek words-philos and ateleia, which means love that is taxfree. It is said that Frenchman Georges Herpin coined the term "Philately" in 1864, several years after the postage system was started by Rowland Hill in 1840. Philately is known as the King of Hobbies.

A GREEN WARRIOR in the heart of the Thar
I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Jitendra Solanki during a training programme on ecotourism organised by the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) and was instantly taken in by his deep love for the desert landscape. His knowledge of Rajasthan's wildlife, its resilient people, and the delicate balance that defines this unique ecosystem was truly inspiring. What stood out most was his passion for showcasing a different, more responsible side of Rajasthan, one that celebrates its natural heritage and communities with equal respect and sensitivity. It is for this; we celebrate him today as a Green Warrior.
