Seems like sitting in the balcony
Amongst the greenery in and around
With earphones and songs on , staring at that beauty
Makes me forget all my stress and sadness.
But somehow today , as I sit in the same place , with people following the curfew against corona,
There was no need for the songs .
In fact, i put on the earphones but still no songs playing .
To me that day, the birds chirping was my song , the clashing of leaves due to wind was my song
The peace ,the quietness outside was a new song – a song that made me calm
A new song that did the same magic to me which a song normally did before .
And that’s how I realise, what listening to songs and music in the balcony meant to me!
ON MY WAY
As I start writing my first blog ,I feel quite happy because this is something i am trying for the first time.
I don’t know how good I will be at this, but the fact I have started jotting down my thoughts , stories and experiences
itself makes me happy . I would rather start considering this as my hobby now.
Talking about hobbies , the other day ,one teacher in my class asked us our hobbies. This , for me, was really unusual since I haven’t answered to this since the time I have completed my school. I was completely blank and nervous as I did not know the answer to this and this was such a shame ! So I kept thinking . The only thing that came to my mind was listening to music . I really like listening to music/songs , but can that be a hobby? At least I don’t think so.
Then what do I do in my free time other than this ? This question was really bothering me. So I decided I would say “I like listening to music and I used to play guitar.” I know it’s basics but I haven’t played it since many months! But I decided to say it just for the sake of saying to the class.
Meanwhile I was also listening to other students’ hobbies . And that day I realised, now-a-days, people of my age have really got some different and unusual hobbies than before. Hardly some of them sounded like painting,sports,dance,singing,etc.They were all- watching anime, playing video-games, watching TV and TV-series,watching movies.Though this may refresh them from their daily routine but are they really
be considered hobbies?
I feel hobbies should involve a lot of creativity, some exercise to the brain also. Also practising such kind of hobbies will give enjoyment temporarily. In fact, this might cause bad health effects especially mental. So my turn had come to answer and i answered the way i decided.
But later I felt that I myself should adopt one hobby that shows my creativity. Writing blogs has always been on my mind but couldn’t start doing it.
So that day, I gave a proper way to my confused thoughts of writing / not writing. And here I am finishing my first blog. I AM ON MY WAY!
