A hobby is a regular non-occupational activity done during leisure time

for relaxation and pleasure. Hobbies are a kind of pastime for really busy
and active people. People whose days are packed with work and
thoughts need some respite. They seek a kind of engagement that they
love to indulge in. This gives them a mental and physical holiday. At the
same time, it satisfies their passion.

Hobbies can be of any kind such as stamp collections, coin collections,

collections of vintage goods, collections of portraits of the world’s firsts,
and even butterfly collections! Hobbies sometimes become highly
engrossing activities. They sometimes reveal aspects of a great
personality that one can’t imagine. For example, Churchill, the man who
led England to victory in World War II was also a keen painter.

The work-a-day world is generally drab and colorless. The human mind
and senses become dull in their monotony. Naturally, it seeks an outlet.
Winning or losing is immaterial while pursuing a hobby.
