How Hobbies improve yourself and destroy loneliness , Depession

I tend to have so many hobbies in life, it because it makes me to move out of my comfort zone and try new things which intern gives me a different perspective. The habit of getting in to or acquiring new hobbies came after my friendship with prem... He was one my roommates during my bachelor life and he do different stuffs like reading, writing blogs, photography and trying new stuffs... Thanks Prem… 

Being a software engineer, staring at the laptop the whole day makes me sick and I avoid using laptop after coming home and in weekends…And my wife always tells me that she love the way i write the blog and the photographs which speaks more than words…. She is my big supporter in my life… Nandri Pondaati. Let’s move to my different hobbies.

Photography – Photography changed the way I see things around me … All things looked beautiful and colorful to me... The first photograph was by clicking a snap of dead cockroach. Prem trained me and taught me the concept of Photography, we gone to workshop like LetClickin, Help portrait where they taught the various techniques to shoot a photo... Later I purchased Nikon D5000 my travelling companion and became more over like a professional photographer and also I started participating in Photography competition which provided me confidence and creativity thinking.

Blog Writing – I started writing to enhance my writing communication skills.. My first blog was related to my working project in Manhattan associates. I got appreciation from my peers who read it and asked me to write more. From then, i wrote blogs on travelogue, poems, Posts related to social work, things happening around me and so on… Whenever I feel to write, I just open laptop and start writing... Most of the time I write after returning from office or during early morning... It releases stress and mainly you should empty your mind from unwanted things before writing.

Book reading – As before, I started to read to increase my communication skills... To make me first comfortable, I started reading blogs on the net and later moved to book reading... Prem used to read so many books, first I thought its tough and after started reading it changed me a lot...Day by Day, I changed so many habits and increased my confidence after reading philosophical books...

Long Bike ride / Trekking – “Four wheel moves the body, two wheels moves the soul”. Riding long distance in bike is awesome... Joined communities in Facebook and almost every weekend, I go to bike ride with friends and explore the different places. Its gave opportunity to meet different people and love to nature increased.

Cooking – I cook dosa well, whenever my roommates planned to cook something I will be asked to cook dosa. My parents taught me cooking so that I will be independent and don’t want me to depend upon someone to offer me food... I moved in to my hobby list last year, when my wife went to her hometown for pregnancy most of the time I eat food outside which made to feel sick often and decrease my immune system after eating junk foods.. I started to cook after getting few tips from my wife, she cooks awesome food and I really miss her food still... I surfed the internet and tried new menus, last week I challenged her that in an year I will cook better than her. Let’s see..

Gardening – This hobby was with me from my childhood. We have farm in my village and whenever I go there I learn get tips from the guy who take care of farm... During weekends or early morning I dedicate 15 minutes to 30 minutes on gardening... In Bangalore, I have few plants in Balcony and its getting hard to maintain due to plant diseases and bad pollution... But I am learning on maintenance and organic farming, it gives me experience and after few decades when I move to my village I will be in good state to maintain the farm.

I have few more in my list like Learning musical instruments , Painting , Expertise in Handicrafts and some more..
