What is your favourite hobby and why?

By Vanya Khanna

Whenever I have free time, the first thing I think of is investing time into painting. While doing so, the first thing that pops my mind is a  plain white canvas which is now  going to be  filled with my thoughts, emotions and feelings.

One of the best  things is the tranquillity which it gives to our heart. Moreover, indulging into painting also  promotes us to take risk as with every  bad result there is a path for creative mind and happy soul.

It makes my inner soul filled with peace.  With every brush stroke there is some uniqueness as  you have an opportunity to  mix and remix colours, play with them and let your inner soul guide you . There are no rules or limitations in painting.

Another  thing about painting is that it awakes  your emotions as the colours can speak to your heart even without uttering a single word . “Paintings are a way to connect ourselves to our heart “.

It provides freedom because a person who likes to paint has their own imagination to create  a canvas of their own world . You  can choose any aspect to make your small  efforts and create a big painting.

Painting helps you discover your mind. It  helps you explore about the world, the fashion and different  new styles. It is  a way of  expressing my creativity and exploring my imagination. Painting fosters  cognitive skills and helps to expands your observation skills. As it requires  understanding of various colours, where one has to for knout about  the subtleties of the colours .As a young child I was always interested in creativity and art. I loved to draw and colour but as  I grew older I started painting.

Painting  has become a way for me to relax after a long hectic day. Another joy of painting is the sense  of accomplishment that comes with completing the painting.

Painting  has enable me to be patient  and focused. It takes time and practice to create a painting. It has   taught me the value of perseverance and determination .With the help of painting I have been able to develop great patience and focus in other areas of my life, like any skill it  requires practice  consistency, hence I practice regularly

One of the biggest challenges I have faced while  painting is capturing the subject accurately and realistically . Another challenge is finding the time to paint every day.  To overcome, these challenges  I  try  to practice regularly and seek  new sources of inspiration. At  times it becomes very difficult to choose what I should choose to paint .

No all work and play can really make  your life dull. A life without any fun or excitement can be quite boring. It is important to have some time for recreation and relaxation ,otherwise you may end up burning yourself out .One should always make sure to set aside some time for the activities that you enjoy ,or you may find yourself becoming quite unhappy . This is where hobby comes into the picture .

Finally I want say that life becomes boring  without hobby. I have many hobbies  but painting is my favourite hobby. It makes me so busy in myself . Painting is the most enjoyable thing one can do . No matter what hobby you choose ,it should always make you feel relaxed . Life is short ,but the world is vast, there is a galaxy of knowledge out there, for us to stumble upon it. The main purpose of hobbies, is to make us aware of things. People find interest in many hobbies but according to me, painting is by far the best way to relax.
