Lets share our hobbies...
« on: September 18, 2009, 05:56:56 AM »
Hello everyone....
Why not learn a little more about each other....maybe we can start with our hobbies....
Me personally, I like to write-mostly poetry sometimes prose. I love music and also watch movies-mostly a sucker for romance....!I like to read too, but here have a limited choice of English literature!
These days am beginning to take a keen interest in cooking and guess am doing a good job of it! And yeah I love meeting people and making new friends and learning something new from them!
Do write in....
Take care.
Madhavi
Love and luck to all...

Hmmm... Hobbies  :wink I love reading books,everything or anything,internet is like a contact for me with outside world,its like a wonderland for me,and i get lost in it like Alice did in wonderland  :biggrin and now a days i have a new hobby which i am obsessed with,and you know what i am talking about so i am not gonna mention it here  :wink.

Other then that,i am a house wife,mother of two,so i won't say cooking is exactly my hobby  :rotfl it used to be once,like i used to write once,both poetry and prose,but gone are the days now....

Hope i didn't bore you  :rotfl

Not at all bored Zaini...
I just thought that this way we can all share aspects of our life other than the usual tests,levels,tensions, stresses...like Gaurav has said in one of his introductory posts that thal is just one aspect of our lives and we as a family are here to share more than just that, right?
....waiting for others to write in too...

Madhavi,

a good idea indeed.

Well, I like reading a lot--which is why I became a translator of Arabic Literature. In fact I combined my two favourite pastimes - reading literature and learning foreign languages - and after retiring from the bank I started a second carreer, that of a translator. In Greece, there is a State Law for people with thalassaemia: they can retire after 15 years of service and get a full pension. That's what I did and now I occupy myself more creatively.

Apart from that, I love travelling, going out with one or two special friends - but that's that, I am not very social -  going on an excursion, watching theatre and of course writing in this site -- that' s
something I have been following for the last two years and I am happy for it.<Thanks, Andy!>

Lena.

Hobbies? I don't have time for them ;-(. I'll think about what my hobbies were in the past. All I can that reading was the hobbie I used to do the most.

Goodnight Everyone!!

Hi there
This topic is a really good idea. 

I have two and a half hobbies.

One is reading, I love reading, I get lost in the book, I live other lives.  I used to read a lot as an adolescent and I still read a lot, I starve for a book sometimes.
Another is gardening which I started during my adolescence too, like Kathy I also try to grow my own things, easier for flowers but more difficult for vegetables(because I do not use pesticides at all). So in front of my house there are flowers and in my backyard, there are herbs, chillies, strawberries and some green leafy vegetables. I also like having fresh flowers on my table but when they grow in my garden I do not have the heart to cut them, so for my tables, I end up buying.

The half hobby is walking.  I say half because I enjoy doing it but nowadays, I do not have the time.  Like Kathy I too enjoy walking on the beach, I want to walk as far as it leads me.  I used to do it with my father but since I got married, I stopped since my husband does not like walking at all and the beach we now go to is very small.  I am waiting for the kids to grow up a bit to start that over again.  The feel of the sand under the feet and the water splashing against the ankle, there's nothing like it.

As Zaini said for cooking,  it was also a hobby for me in my adolescent years but now that I have to do it everyday, it is not a hobby anymore.  But I enjoy coming up with new recipes, I go to restaurants for that reason.  I try to reproduce what I enjoyed there and this is how I get new recipes.  But I won't classify this as a hobby.

I have a couple of guesses....
1)Shopping-but it couldnt be a secret!
2)Mirror gazing-possibly....
3)Window shopping-could be a part secret!
4)Dreaming of modelling or something as glamorous...
Suddenly I have a feeling that maybe it may not be any of these...so will stop guessing!Lol
Love and luck to all...

What about gossiping,Zaini?
I do not want to be rude but some women love it.

Hi Lena

Hobbies are suppose to make one happy , to have an interest of some kind:rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl where as gossips can bring on stress , accompany with lots trouble at time :  :tantrum :tantrum :tantrum :tantrum :tantrum :tantrum ,but some might say its harmless ,I suppose it depand on what type.

If a woman has hobbies she hasn't got time for gossips :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl
this is my point of view some may defer

Kathy

Gossiping I guess is more of a habit than a hobby, right?
Its nice to read about such varied hobbies here...
Reading about your gardening bits, I could almost imagine your houses with the lovely yards...I wish I had such a house and such a blessing with gardening...I remember I had tried my hand at growing stuff when in school but was an utter disaster...so I stopped it!
Walking is a good thing too-can be a lot of things at the same time-sharing time with someone or even oneself,admiring the scenes around or plain reflecting about life! But these days one is confined by many things like time or commitments to be able to devote time to things like that!
And about writing in at this site and being here daily is more like an addiction than a hobby what say guys?
Nice to know about you all....
Love and luck to all...
