Hobbies

Hobbies are so important for one's well being. They not only keep you occupied but also give you a confidence. It is an exclusive time you spend with yourself. We are always busy doing something or other or nothing. Sometimes hobbies become passion and you can get excellence in your hobby taking it beyond. I know people having different hobbies. Sometimes hobbies are periodical, like when I was a kid I had hobby to collect the cricketers photos and game records they have made. But I no longer find it interesting and it’s been couple of decades that I have left that hobby. My brother was having a hobby of colleting small toy cards. He has got nearly 200 cars with him. After we grew up, he gifted those toy cars to our younger  cousins. As we grew up things change largely. This is a phase of transformation from a teenager to Adult. We take charge of our own life. Then comes career, marriage, children, etc. We get too busy in our life we totally forget our hobbies. I know many people complaining they don’t get time for hobbies. Is it really the case or simply we are lazy to continue our hobbies. Or are we wasting our time in doing some other time consuming unproductive stuff like watching TV for hours and hours, spending lot of time on FB and twitter.  
I feel proud to continue my hobbies which excites me like reading, painting, dancing. I am a working women. Here comes my typical day, I get up at 6:30, prepare breakfast and lunch Tiffin for me and husband, pack Tiffin. Get dressed for the office. I reach office at 9 AM and get back to home at 6PM. I take some time to have a cup of tea then after that it’s me and by hobbies till 8:30. Either I paint, go for exercise, read, dance or put an extra effort to prepare and learn some new recipe for dinner. After 8:30 I cook and have dinner by 9:30. At 10 go to sleep. Weekends are also spend with my hobbies and house hold chores like clearing home, going to glossary shop and a nice dinner outside or preparing any special recipe at home or exploring Dubai’s unseen sites or vising or hosting a friend’s party. When my parents or brother come to visit me. They always question “Why do you need to be so hard working? Just Chill and Relax.” But that’s how I am. And the fun is I don’t feel tired. May be that is because I am changing my work and that gives me a rest. As it is rightly said “Change in work is rest”. And keeping away from TV and FB has added time for my hobbies for sure.
