The World Philatelic Exhibition ,INDIPEX 2011 was held in New Delhi at Pragati Maidan from 12th to 18th,February,2011.As a philatelist,I had the golden opportunity to witness the exhibits as well as the stalls of different countries  along with some of  the members of our philatelic club,Coimbatore chapter.The exhibits of various subjects were displayed in the huge hall of Pragati Maidan.

The huge hall of exhibits.  

Some of the themes are quite interesting!The theme,'Water Birds' attracted me so much.The person has many water birds

stamps that too well displayed with colourful pictures along with stamps.It has got 'Vermail Medal!I took many photographs on the subject,'Space Exploration! I have quite a number of stamps on this subject.I also bought some from
this World Philatelic Exhibition.I could learn many things about how to display stamps on pre independance India.Now,I

am arranging these stamps on the lines explained by the exhibitor.It attracted me very much.Iam very impressed!


Most interesting in this exhibition is'MyStamp'.That is if you take a photograph in that particular counter along with the
form duly filled in with the minimum amount of Rs.150/-,your photo will be attached to a stamp already issued by the
postal department and will be sent to you with a sheet of 12 stamps.This is very much new.I also took one.
