Hobby means interesting works at our leisure period. Sometimes life becomes monotonous to us and we want to get rid of the complexity of our life. We get the rhythm of life back by enjoying hobbies. It makes our mind cheerful and provides us with vigour.
There is a proverb: “Many men many minds”. Man is different in taste. So, there are many kinds of hobbies. Some common hobbies are gardening, fishing, reading books, stamp collecting, autograph collection, painting, kite flying, drawing, listening music etc. whatever it may be, it gives us pleasure.
As I am a student, I have some leisure time to spend. I do not waste time in idle gossiping or loitering here and there. I believe that “An idle brain is the devil’s workshop.” So, I have chosen a constructive hobby for myself. It is gardening. I derive great pleasure from this hobby. My parents also love gardening. They help me to take care of my own garden.
My parents have a spacious ground attached to our house. I have developed this open space into a beautiful garden. I am always devoting my free time for the up keeping of my beautiful garden. I get a sense of joy and pride when I visit my garden in the afternoon. I have planted 15 types of beautiful flowers plants such as White Rose, Red Rose, Rajanigandha, Hasnuhena, Madhobi, Bokul, Keya, Chandramollika, Kamini, Beli, Chapa, Joba etc. The blooming flowers and their various colours greatly enhance the beauty of my garden. In my garden I have planted some fruits trees also. Recently I have started growing vegetables in my garden. I purchase the best seeds from the market for sowing in my garden.
I think my hobby is the best one. It is useful in many ways. It gives me pleasure. It refreshes me when I am tired after the day’s work. In the morning, it brings me in touch with the green plants and flowers. In this way the lungs are filled with pure air. This is good for health. My hobby is health giving. Beside this, it provides the family with fresh vegetables. My hobby has other advantages also. It is quite cheap. It does not place any extra burden on my parents. In my library, I possess certain books on the subject of gardening. These books have greatly helped me in the maintenance of my garden and pursuing my hobby. Whenever I feel tired of my monotonous routine life; I just go to my garden and lie there on green grass in the midst of blooming flowers. I feel really very proud of my garden when it is admired by all who visit our house.
I feel that there is a bond of union between nature and human heart. I feel myself one with nature. Above all the joy of self-achievement is the greatest joy in the world. I feel proud to feel that I own a flower's garden.
