MY HOBBY
The word “Hobby” is derived from the “Hobby horse” which is a stick
attached to the wooden horse on which small children ride for their amusement.
Hobby is a work which can be taken up during leisure time. So, hobby means a
useful activity in which one takes interest and drives pleasure by doing it in a

my attention is gardening. Francis Bancan in his essay, ‘Of Garden’ says,
“God Almight first planted a garden.
And indeed it is the purest of human pleasures”
So, this hobby of mine is ultimate source of joy and recreation for me.
Hobby is an activity which one does at spare time for the sheer sake of
delight and recreation. It invigorates both our body and mind. It breathes new life
into lethargic and lazy body. So hobby is a felicitous activity which refresh our
body and mind.
“Absence of occupation is not rest A mind quite
vacant is a mind distressed”
Today, we are living in a world where life is too much mechanical, dull
and dreary. I need some recreational activity to get rid of this tedious and boring
life style. For this purpose I have made lawn in front of my house and garden at
back of my house. I have Planted mango, lemon, orange and banana trees. I also
grow many colourful flowers. They present a bright, colourful and vivid scene
and spread aroma all around us. Green fruit trees, lush grassy lawn and thick
