I have a passion for Crystal & Glassware, curios etc & try to collect those-
I'm also passionate about Ganesh idols(made of different materials- so far I have Ganesh idols in wood, ceramic, glass, sand, plaster of paris , silver & bronze)
What do you collect?
i collect all sorts of rubbish , in my mother's words ..
i collect greeting cards people send me
friendship bands i get
even letters i get ( coz hand written mails are so few now a days )
small things my friends get for me ..frm the various exchanges programmes and conferences they go to ..
Chocolate wrappers ... ( the thing i love the most in the world is chocolates ....i collect ..wrappers of expensive and my favorite choclates ...like Patchi ,Godiva , Lindtt , Sandwich chocolate from Cadbury )
and also favorite newspaper articles
and my articles and stories ..when they come in the local magazines or news papers ...
I like stationery too , its very stupid i know. .but i have some 29 varieties of pencils ..
from staedler , faber castel to nataraj and Amest international ..
Pens ..( my dad loves these too ) from a simple hero to Mont Blanc , Cross ,Sheffer , Waterman
i hate carrying hand bags ...but i collect them ..though ... Giordano ...and those . embroidery bags u get on the road sides in india ..i have about a score of them
i collect ..iodised jewellery , silver jewellery and bead work too ...( like egyptian jewellery ?)...and also Sworoski ..
I used to collect watches ...but my collection got stolen last year in chennai
i had some new ones i'd not even worn ..in there ..(i got really upset .....when my collection got stolen )
anyway ..i start collecting watches soon and i intend to collect shoes coon ! (l ol)
one thing about some of my collections is that they have to be expensive and rare( watches .for eg ) ...or even if t hey are cheap .. they shud be authentic and antique or tradional ( like iodised jewellery )
i collect greeting cards, rare pictures from the magazines.
I collect MEMORIES :wink:

I feel more than the value(monetary), its the value we give it that saddens us, right?
So do I! :DQuote:

I used to colelct stamps/coins since my schooldays & once my first coin collection was stolen from our own house (thru the window of my room!) at Hyd'bad many yrs ago! :(
Of course I managed to collect many more coins after tat.....altho given up for the time being since I can't find ne like-minded enthusiast.....I got into this wen I had a friend at school who was into stamps/coins....sum years later, he later gave it up & handed over all his stamps albums to me......
Even I liked collecting stationery at school.....used to hav lots of old Reynolds 040 blue/red pens then! :D
Nevertheless I eventually found solace by collecting old things at home (eg. a 1974 Nat'l Panasonic tape-recorder bought by my dad then, one of the first cassette t.recorders I think!) pics./parts/memorabilia of old vehicles (& at one point was keen to collect vehicles themselves! :lol:)......one room in our current house is full of spare-parts of old cars/scooters- inc. seats/tyres! much to my mom's disgust! :P :lol: Altho these r intended to serve for future use rather than collection!
yea i already mentioned ...... how it got lost ..Quote:

When I asked how it happened, I meant did the thief who broke into your hse steal just that or was it a servant or something like that?
