Role of hobbies in Man’s life

 Hobby is something that one likes to do in one’s spare

time. The Oxford Dictionary defines hobby as a
favourite activity that a person does for pleasure and
not as his or her regular business. In short, hobby is
one’s favourite pastime. So we must understand the
importance of hobbies in our life.
 A hobby is not pursued to make a profit. The main
purpose of a hobby is to derive pleasure out of it. It
gives us mental and physical relaxation. One makes the
best use of one’s spare time by pursuing a hobby.
 There are a good number of hobbies. The hobby that
fits our interest, nature and our budget would be the
best.
 Each one of us should choose a worthwhile hobby that
gives us change and joy. At times, our hobbies become
our profitable vocation.
 There are many kinds of hobbies. One of them is
collecting stamps and coins. Some people collect
flowers and leaves. Some like gardening and clay-
modelling. Some are fond of indoor games like chests
and cards. Young men like outdoor games such as
cricket, hockey or football. Hobbies not only provide
pleasure but also educate the mind.
 Hobbies are pursuits of spare time. They are followed
when people are free from their routine occupational
work.
 Hobbies are for pleasure, recreation and mental
refreshment thus, a hobby is totally different from an
occupation.
 An occupation is a source of income and sustenance.
One earns ones bread and butter by following some
trade or occupation. But hobbies are followed in spare
time for their own sake.
 That is why what might be an occupation for you,
might be a hobby for me. You may be a professional
football-player, but I may play football just for pleasure
alone and no other consideration.
 If there are no hobbies, half the charm of the world’
would have been destroyed.
