From Singapore

The four stamps at the top were released by Singapore Post as the biennale festivals stamps on 20 October 2010. These stamps depict the festivals celebrated by the 4 main races in Singapore - Chinese New Year for the Chinese, Hari Raya Haji/Puasa for the Malays, Deepavali or Diwali for the Indians and for the Eurasians who are mostly Christians, Christmas. There are 2 stamps for each festival, the 1st local one for local addressee and the 55-cent postcard rate for posting overseas.
The green stamp at the corner was released on 13 April 2011as a part of a new low value definitive stamp series of 10 stamps depicting the amazing diversity and beauty of a pond ecosystem. This new low value definitive stamp series completed the "Pond Life" definitive collection. The high value definitive "Pond Life" stamp set was issued on 16 February this year.
Surprisingly the stamps used are 1st local for the cover sent overseas to India!!!

Thank You Edmund Ong for this lovely cover.Yesterday, I have already posted a cover for you

India's Presidential Palace - Rashtrapati Bhavan

A set of four stamps and a miniature sheet has been issued today by India Post to commemorate one of the oldest and most splendid architectural landmarks of the country that is also the official residence of India's President - Rashtrapati Bhavan (Presidential House/Palace)

The erstwhile Viceregal Lodge, designed by Edwin Lutyens as a symbol of the imperial empire, has been the official residence of the Head of the State since 1950, when Rajendra Prasad became the first President.
At present, it is the largest residence of any Chief of the State in the world.The construction of the building was planned for 4 years, but World War I intervened and construction required 19 years to complete. Its first occupant, Lord Irwin, began occupation on Jan. 23, 1931

From Cyprus

This aerogramme was sent from Limassol ,Cyprus to Kolkata on 26th May 1965.

The aerogramme contains a request from M/s Michaelides in Limassol for getting some samples of Galvanised Hex. Bolts and Nuts from M/s Shree Krishna P.L.

It arrived in Calcutta on 1st May 1965.

Today in the year 2011 when all the correspondence happen through emails specially business' this aergramme is an example of the time when life moved bit slower than what it is today,50 years later.

I acquired this cover from a dealer and charged nothing for it.He said he was about to throw it away.I liked the cover the moment I put my eyes on it though it was folded and wrinkled at many places.

I tried enquiring about the stamps but couldn't find anything.Can any one help me on this???
