Any hobby is an activity that is regularly done for pleasure. Hobbies are according to ones passion. Hobby is a creative activity. In this essay I will elaborate on hobbies of my wife Manju. She has hobbies of Painting, Cooking, Knitting and Gardening.
With the time Manju nicely developed her hobbies and started coaching classes in Drawing, Painting, Cooking and Knitting. She has students ranging from nursery goers to their grandparents. With her creativity and diversification she developed over 70 subjects in Drawing-Painting-Art-Craft and nearly 80 recipes in cookery.
Manju gave program on television for Indian Cuisine. Many foreign nationals and NRIs attend her classes for Indian Vegan Cooking. She gained good popularity and fame for the quality and taste of the food. Even professional hoteliers started pouring in for learning her unique recipes. Beside she executes orders for knitting and fabric painting. With hobbies she earns money too.
She is fond of gardening hence she has maintained a nice garden of flower plants in the front yard and a wonderful kitchen garden in the backyard. In the front yard in addition to flowers she has developed Aloe Vera and Tinospora (Giloy in Hindi) these species are frequently used in herbal medicine for the cure of numerous ailments. In kitchen garden we have a Mango tree as well as some fruits like guava, grapes, papaya, pomegranate and seasonal vegetables. We do have lemons and Ponderosa lemon too.
In nutshell I would say that Because of all these activities we never feel a vacuum of retirement, loneliness or boredom. “Having hobbies is not pointless. People can learn a lot from their hobbies develop and diversify and the hobby can be source for learning and earning too. Hobbies improve our physical and mental health.
