My Favourite Hobby

Hobby is a kind of pleasant thing. Hobby means one's favourite occupation, but not one's main business. A man does not depend on it for his living. Hobby also means to do something willfully. It is an interesting work. It gives joy and pleasure on mind. It may not give us money but it gives us joy and pleasure. To spend leisure time every man chooses a hobby according to their taste. A man cannot enjoy his free time without hobby. So it is necessary to enjoy life.

There are many kinds of hobbies. Men are different in taste. Some of the common hobbies are gardening, fishing, stamp collecting, autograph collecting, reading books, keeping pets, kite flying, drawing picture, painting etc.

I am a student. So I have a hobby. My hobby is gardening. My garden is in front of my reading room. I have planted different kinds of flowers in my garden. They are the rose, the hasnahena, the rajanigandha, the gandhoraj, the cosmos, the sakal-sandha, the beli, etc. I work in my garden with a spade during my leisure period. I make the soil loose, weed out the grass and plant new flower plants. Sometimes I water them. From time to time I put cow dung to make the land fertile. I take great care of the plants. There is a strong fence around my garden so that the naughty boys and animals can do no harm to my flower plants.

One may ask why I like gardening as my hobby. In answer, I will say that gardening is very useful for the health and mind. Gardening does me a lot of good. It is very helpful to me. It refreshes my body and mind. It keeps me always in a jolly mood. For this I can attend to my studies with fresh energy. Everyday I get great pleasures when I see blooming flowers in my garden. I am charmed at their beauty when they are tossed by gentle breeze. I also get pleasure when the sweet scent of flowers come into my room. Besides this, I grow some vegetables in my garden. This saves a lot of expenses of my family. For this reason, I like gardening.

A hobby like gardening gives pleasure and instruction. It makes a man active and strong. It prevents a man to pass his time in idleness. It increases one's knowledge too. Through this one comes to know about flower's and plant's lives. It is also a sort of physical exercise. It gives us an opportunity to make physical labour and build our health properly. Physical labour and fresh air of the garden is very helpful for physical and mental health.

For a cheerful life every man should have a hobby. But we should see that our main works do not suffer on account of it.
