The word ‘Hobby’ has been derived from ‘Hobby Horse,’ which is a stick fitted with a wooden horse and on which small children ride for their amusement. A hobby is a useful work that could be taken up during the free. A Hobby means a useful work in which one takes interest and derives pleasure by doing it in his spare time with or without any monetary benefit. This occupation is quite different from regular work. There are many hobbies like gardening, stamp-collection, coin-collection, photography, reading etc that one adopts according to one’s leisure hours and interest.
After a day’s hard labour, not everyone would want to watch a movie or visit clubs for entertainment. A hobby provides an inexperienced source of entertainment and amusement.
Gardening is my favourite hobby through which I can see nature and enjoy it. Nature is a true guide of man. Wordsworth, the great poet, contends that nature never betrays anyone who loves her.
There is a vast space, in my house, for growing vegetables, fruits and flowers. I have grown roses, lilies and sunflowers. The sweet fragrance of the flowers serves as a tonic for my body and mind and thus helps me become stronger physically and mentally. I have planted a few fruit trees also. There is an adequate growth of vegetables in our compound. So, we rarely purchase any vegetable from the market.
Gardening gives me the exercise required to keep me fit and healthy. It rejuvenates and inspires me whenever I am depressed. My heart rejoices at the sight of my garden in full bloom.
In pursuing a hobby one enjoys the process of learning through doing. Apart from the calming effect it also keeps one develop concentration. While wiping away monotony and melancholy a successful hobby gives the mental satisfaction that few jobs can give. So much so, that there are numerous people who have chosen to make their hobby pay rather than get entrenched into a routine job.

If I were to pick one favourite hobby of mine out of the many I have, I will definitely pick gardening. I developed a taste for dancing when I was very young. The way my feet moved to the rhythm of the music convinced my parents that I was a born dancer. Dancing is very uplifting as well as economical.
I have always had a love for music and dance. However, I never realized the utter joy they bring to humans. Dancing gives us a lot of exercises. It teaches us to move our body rhythmically and feel the beat of every song. This kind of physical exercise is extremely delightful and enjoyable.
Moreover, dance also taught me how to stay strong and push my limits. I have had many injuries while dancing, too many bruises and cuts but that didn’t stop me from pursuing it further. In fact, it pushes me to do my best and realize my potential more than ever.
I have enrolled in dancing classes because I wish to make my hobby my career. I feel we all should do things which we enjoy doing. Everyone is running after money and in this race, they give up their likings and preferences. I have learned from this race and decided to not take part in it. I wish to take the road less traveled by and take on challenges most people don’t dare to.
In short, my hobby of dancing makes me feel alive and well. It is the only thing I look forward the most to. Thus, I hope to achieve my dream of being a professional dancer and making way for people who wish to make careers out of their hobbies.
Nice👍👏👍
