Hobbies

Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my mistress. When I get fed up with one, I spend the night with the other" Anton Chekhov After a hectic stressful day Some time for ourselves every day Doing that which gives joy in every way Few moments of happiness and gay Every one should pursue some passion I say! Hobbies keep boredom away Passions drive stress away When sad passions provide a way They bestow joy without delay Every one should pursue some passion I say! When passions become profession and pay Our work seems like a play We are exhilarated full day Success automatically comes our way Every one should pursue some passion I say! When body is aged, hairs are grey When our strength does betray Our passions like morning sun's ray Prevents darkness and dismay Every one should pursue some passion I say! Childhood, kids should not fritter away For nurturing talents set aside some time every day Pursuing extracurricular hobbies keeps them gay Boosts self-confidence in every way Every child should pursue some passion I say! Some love music, some in painting feel gay Some love sports, for some in poetry happiness lay Inner joy keeps illness at bay Advantages of hobbies do outweigh Pursue some passion without delay! 17th March 2021
