My father was key person who helped me developing this hobby, as he had pursued this unknowingly. I started developing interest since 5th Grade, that was somewhere in 1996-97. Father being employee of bank helped me in getting contact with cashiers and allowing me to view the new currency bundles. From there I used to get that particular note which I was craving for. This was a very rigorous and tiring journey that continued for years together but was always full of excitement. As time passed on, responsibilities increased and I couldn’t find that much time to work dedicatedly over collection. But, now when I look back I feel proud enough that in spite of difficulties I never backed down and landed up with such nice collection that could be cherished for centuries. In fact this is a never ending journey for me.
I had demonstrated this collection at many exhibition and many antique lovers asked me to evaluate my collection for sell. I would laugh and say Sir, – “To me this is priceless”
