1 | In this age of materialism, worries, and anxieties, man’s struggle and effort is necessary for survival. He has to toil from dawn to dusk. He needs some pleasant activity to lighten his burden of monotony. He needs leisure and idle hours to soothe his perturbed feeling and troubled soul. If he does not relax, his life becomes dull and gloomy, and he himself becomes peevish. The constant hard work of daily routine life rusts his talent and efficiencies. Physical and mental exertions leave him utterly exhausted and enervated, after the whole day's work. W. H. Davies mourns such a way of life in this way: “What is this life if full of care We have to time to stand and stare.” |

The word “Hobby” is derived from “Hobby Horse,” which is a stick fitted with a wooden horse and on which small children ride for amusement. Hobby is a useful work, which is done in spare time for pleasure without any monetary benefit. This occupation is quite apart from the regular profession. A person’s hobby may be an occupation of another person. An occupation is a regular work, which is done to earn bread and butter. Hobby invigorates both our body and soul. It breathes new life into a lethargic and lazy body. Therefore, hobby is a felicitous activity to refresh body and brain. It is pursued only for recreation. After hard labour, hobby provides us a cheap source of entertainment and amusement. It saves us from the dull routine of life and gives us an activity when we have nothing to do....
