My Favourite Hobby
Hobby means one’s favourite occupation. But it is not his main business. It is an
interesting means to enjoy our leisure period. It makes our life enjoyable and
cheerful. Without it, life becomes dull and monotonous.
Different persons have different choice. Some like gardening, some like painting,
some like reading books or travelling, some like catching fish, some like stamp or
coin collecting etc. But every kind of hobby has its own value. I am a student of
class viii. I have also my own hobby and it is gardening.
I have a garden beside my reading room. I work in my garden in the morning and
in the afternoon. I dig the soil with spade and break the soil with it. I pull out the
weeds from my garden. I also level the soil by using a leveler. I have put a strong
fence around my garden so that cattle and naughty boys cannot enter into my
garden and do any harm to plants. I have planted various kinds of flowers in my
garden. They are the rose, beli, sheuli, chameli, shefali, sunflower, marigold etc. In
one corner of my garden, I have planted some vegetables. I water the plants in
the morning and in the evening. Sometimes, I put fertilizer in my garden. Usually,
I spend one hour in my garden.
My hobby is very useful to me in many ways. It removes the monotony of
everyday work. It strengthens my body and refreshes my mind. Every day in the
morning I feel a great pleasure to see my garden adorned with colourful flowers.
My garden then looks like stars in the sky. I am charmed at their beauty and my
heart dances with joy when I see beautiful flowers tossing their heads in the
gentle breeze. At night when the sweet scent of different flowers comes into my
room, it makes me very happy and fills my mind with heavenly joy. Besides, in
some evening I and my younger brother walk in the garden and enjoy the beauty
of flowers. Sometime I pluck flowers from my garden and decorate our house and
my reading room. I also present flowers to my friends on different occasions.
Besides these, my garden supplies us with fresh vegetables.
I like gardening for other reasons too. Working in the garden or walking through it
is a kind of physical exercise. It keeps me physically strong and healthy. I was
sickly in body before starting gardening. But now I am quite healthy. Besides, my
hobby increases my knowledge about agriculture. Moreover, it keeps me away
from all sorts of evil deeds and thoughts. For all these reasons, I like gardening
most.
Thus, my hobby helps me in different ways. It is a great source of joy and pleasure
to me. So, everybody should have a suitable hobby his own.
