Hobby is an interesting quest 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.
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.
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.
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 every
day in the afternoon. I have all kinds of flower-plants in my garden such as
rose, chameli, shefali, sunflower, dahlia, beli etc.
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.
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.
