POST CARDS Remember those simpler times when we dint have the internet, smartphones & all the other means of communication? We used to send out post cards in the form of well wishes during festivals. In India a few years ago post cards were sent on various occasions like Christmas, New Year, Diwali (the festival of lights), Birthdays & Anniversaries. Here are a few postcards based on the rich culture of India & Korea.
