My Hobby

Hobby means favorite occupation as a pastime. Hobbies are a necessary part of our life in the modern age. Life has become dull in this age. One needs to change from the dullness of daily life. Hobbies provide this change.

An idle mind is a devil's workshop. That is why W.H. Davis says;

What is this life, if full of care?

We have no time to stand and stare? 

There are many kinds of hobbies, e.g. gardening, photography, coin-collecting, stamp-collecting, painting, reading books, etc. Then there are games, like tennis, cricket, and chess. Sports like hunting, angling, and boating are also good hobbies.

Different people have different hobbies according to their taste and means. I am a student I have not much free time. Therefore, I have only two hobbies-gardening and music. I have much interest in gardening, particularly in cultivating flowers, plants. It is a very healthy hobby. It provides an exercise to the body and refreshes our mind. My father has given me a small plot of land. I have changed it into a flower-garden. I feel great pleasure when I see flowers of different colors growing in large numbers. These flowers give out a sweet fragrance. They add to the beauty of our house.

Secondly, I am interested in music. It has a charm of its own. When I am sad, I play on the harmonium and feel happy again. I have become very popular in the school on account of the music. Students request me to sing songs during the recess period. I entertain them with songs. Songs remove their tiredness. They feel grateful to me.

At present, I have not much time at my disposal. When I settle in life, I shall devote more time to my hobbies.
