But not continue after the 8th Grade (14th age) , because I couldn't see any Stamps  and stamps collectors .  In my 26th age (12 years break in stamp collection),  I connected with Madurai Philatelist and Numismatist Association (MAPNA) , then become my stamp collecting hobby is an ascent. If any Philatelic exhibition conducted in any place, I went to the exhibition  see the all exhibits & got more stamps from various dealers in exhibition place.
