Introduction: Hobby is an interesting
pursuit other than one’s main occupation. It is usually followed during
leisure. It does not bring money but it brings immense pleasures and joys to
us. It is necessary to make our life enjoyable and cheerful. Without it life
becomes dull and monotonous.
My choice: Different
persons have different choices. Some choose gardening, some like drawing
picture, some like painting; while other like rearing birds or catching fish,
collecting stamps and so on. But whatever be the hobby, it has its own values.
A person chooses his hobby according to his own linking. I am a student of
class IX. Like others, I have also my hobby and it is gardening.
Reason for
my choice: One may wonder why I should give time and energy to
such an unproductive work. One may say it is a mere waste of time and energy. I
do not feel or think it so. The one or two hours that I spend in my garden are
not lost. It strengthens my body and refreshes my mind. Every day in the
morning I feel a great pleasure when I see my garden adorned with flowers. The
flowers in the garden look like stars in the sky. I am charmed at their beauty
and my heart dances with joy when they tossing their heads in gentle breeze. At
night when the sweet scent of flowers comes into my room with air, it makes me
very happy and fills up mind with heavenly peace. That is why; I choose
gardening as my hobby. No other hobby can afford me more pleasure than it.
How I work
with my hobby: My garden is in front of our house. Everybody in
the afternoon I go to my garden with a spade or hoe and work there. I usually
turn or dig the earth and make it fit for planting flower plants. I also pull
out weeds and grasses from the garden. I have put a fence around it so that
cattle or naughty children cannot do any harm to the plants. I water the plants
everyday in the afternoon. I have all kinds of flower-plants in my garden such
as rose, chameli, shefali, sunflower, dahlia, beli etc.
Usefulness
of my hobby: A hobby gives pleasure as well as instruction. It
makes a man active and strong. A man who has a hobby does not spend his spare
time in idleness. He engages himself in some useful works. It increases one’s
knowledge too. If he likes gardening, he will have to know something about the
flowers and plant life. Working in the garden is also a sort of physical
exercise which improves his health. It gives joy to the man who owns it as well
as to others who see it. The hobby occupies his mind so much so that it leaves
hardly any room for evil thoughts to grow and thrive in mind.
Conclusion: Gardening as
a hobby is really a great source of joy and pleasure. It makes our body strong
and mind cheerful. It gladdens our mind and purifies our soul. The original
parents of mankind in their innocent state perhaps placed for this very reason
in the Garden of Eden.
