Those little bits of colourful papers what do they say to the King Of All Hobbies commonly known as Stamp collection or Philately is a more systematic term for it.For most of the times they are used interchngeably but the differnce is that philately alsp includes study

of stamps.well i started it as a casual hobby but later it became a passion,through stamps you get to know the various aspects of your country's cultural heritage and certainly a look into other country's too.At present The Indian postal service facilitates stamp collectors to have a look at the first preview of the stamps being released.They are released usaually in sets of 4 or 8.

At present i have about 350 indian and 250 foreign stamps.
