Hobbies play a very important role in our lives. They occupy our minds when we are free and also make us happy. Hobbies are our escape from the real world that makes us forget our worries. Moreover, they make our lives interesting and enjoyable. They also help in expanding our knowledge.My hobbies are gardening and painting. Whenever I can spare some time, I like to take care of my garden and its plants. A new bud in any of my plants makes me feel so happy. Apart from gardening, I also like painting in my free time. I have now a collection of some of those since my childhood days.
