Introduction	My name is Premnath S. Kudva, and I am from Mangalore, India. I am married to Suchitra and we have two daughters, Sneha who is six and a half and Kavya who just turned one in March 2004. My interests include stamp, coin and currency note collecting. In stamps I collect mint stamps, mostly directly from the postal administration of the country I am interested in. I collect proof coins of the US from the US mint. At ebay I have been able to buy buy quite a few commemorative proof coins for my collection. I also buy a few selected proof coins issued by the India Government Mint. I still read a lot of magazines and books, though I have reduced reading fiction due to paucity of time. I have a large collection of books. So much so that when we built our house in 2001, I had a library room incorporated into it. I have a neat collection of Indian curency notes, most of them in UNC condition. I collect scale model cars, and would love to have a model train layout sometime in the future. I have a little interest in astronomy and look at the skies once in a while. I am deeply interested in space exploration, and manned space travel.
