Hobby plays an important role in our life. It even makes one a complete man. But most people do not know how to utilize their leisure period. They often spend their leisure in wondering what to do. Again the others spend smoking, eating, watching television or gossiping while there are also some people who wants to spend their free time in doing some jobs on the internet because now a day the internet has become so popular in almost every country, so there are also some people who passes their free time in chatting with others on the internet.

But life does not mean to idle away time. It becomes a habit of our life that we want to do nothing when we find some leisure time after hard working. This is not right to spend the time in this way. We often see that there are some young girls who spend their leisure time in make-up or dressing up well while some housewives spend in embroidery, tailoring or trying out new recipes. 

But it is one of the interesting pursuits one can have in their everyday life. There are a number of hobbies in our present society. A hobby affords us a useful change from the dull routine of life. It refreshes and regenerates our minds. It saves us from evil company and gives us pleasure and amusement.

Hobbies are of different kinds such as photography, swimming, singing, gardening, and painting; stamp collecting, writing, reading story books, hunting, fishing, and nature-study and so on. There are many hobbies beyond these, now a day people are having different kinds of hobby such as shopping, chatting on net etc.

Well above these my favourite hobby is gardening. I have made a garden in front of our house. It has different types of Indian and foreign flowers. I go to my garden everyday and care it with full mind. I also get enough of pleasure in turn. How nice it looks when all the trees are in bloom.

Some of my friends visit our house very often. They feel very joy when they go to my garden. They also praise me for my carefulness for it. There are also some friends of mine who are jealous with me because I have a beautiful garden and also because my best and close friends  who likes the garden praises me for the beautiful garden and a good look after of them.

Thus I think everybody should have some hobby of his own instead of wasting their time in leisure period. It is really a kind of achievement in life. Besides it is also a source of recreation in which one can apply his own knowledge and wisdom. And one more thing if you are good, I mean if you are very good in your hobby, whatever your hobby is, it may be able to pay you also a good amount from which you can become rich also. So have a good hobby, a useful hobby which will be good for everyone and if not then do whatever you like to do but use your leisure period in doing some useful things.
