Hi !

Here  I share  a report  published in February 2012 issue of Stanley Gibbons "Stamp Monthly", informing an important post independece olive-brown and pale orange Indian stamp issued on 5th May, 1978, commemorating Pt Deendayal Upadhyaya, with denomination 25p. (SG Cat. N0. 888). It is interesting and  readers  must check their collection if they have any such stamp ?? However I doubt the existence of such a stamp. It could also be a manipulation of the existing stamp, which was stuck on the cover and thus was defaced by the post (the name of the post office where it was defaced is not clear from the cancellation). I am thankful to Dr Avinash Jagtap of Switzerland  who sent me scan of this report with the details !!

This is all for this evening….Till Next Post….Have a great time !

Isabella Thoburn College, the first Christian institution for women in Asia, is celebrating 125 years of its existence. During this long journey, this institution has produced several big names, which very few colleges in the country can boast of. These include Padmashri Dr

Mohini Giri, first chairperson of National Commission for Women in India, Late Isha B Joshi, first woman to be an IAS, Isha M Joshi, first woman judge, late Mumtaz Jahan Haider, founder principal of Women's College in Aligarh, late Vijayaraje Scindia and many more.

The college has also produced  renowned authors such as late Ismat Chugtai and late Qurtul-ain-Haider. Other big names from this college include Mohini Mangalik, who studied here in the early 40s. Boys were not allowed to visit here except during fetes when girls used to bring their male friends.

Other past students of this college who have made it big are Amrita Dass, founder-director of the Institute of Career Studies and Abha Singh, director, postal services, Maharashtra and Goa, and the list is endless. They are deeply indebted to their alma mater for what they have achieved in life.
