Coins and colours

August 21, 2014 05:14 pm | Updated 05:14 pm IST

Numismatics is one of my favourite hobbies. I collect all kinds of coins. The rarer it is, the happier it makes me. I sort them according to the countries they are used in, and keep them separately in envelopes. I began collecting them when my father returned from a visit abroad and brought back some things from that country. Among them were a few coins. I liked it and would look at it every now and then. Now I ask people, who visit other countries, to bring at least two coins for my collection.

Another hobby of mine is drawing and painting. I have colour pencils, paint tubes and boxes. I usually go out to the garden, sit under a tree and paint. I draw the different houses, birds and flowers I see around me. My sister pins my work on a board in the hall for everyone to see.
