Hobbies!!!

Hobbies - I just searched in http://www.dictionary.com/ for this word and I got the below meaning.

an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation and not as a main occupation

This is at the high level. I will try to explain my point of view on hobbies in this blog (idhu verayaa appdinnu feel pannaadhinga)

As far as we know, everyone has a hobby rt? If we ask someone regarding his/ her hobby, we'll get some answer from them, but never there will be an answer that I dont have a hobby. Most common hobbies that are mentioned are reading magazines, watching tv, hearing music. I recently read in an article that these are not hobbies, and just the pass time.

It looked true to me, and really not everyone will have an hobby. Hobby is something that makes a person happy, that makes a person use his/ her valuable time effectively. One who has a good hobby will not tell he/she has lots of free time and be happy within themseves.

So what is qualified as hobbies? I do not want to go deep into it, and it has a wide range of qualifications. If it just meets the above para's quality, then that is a good hobby. Even if you dont have multiple hobbies, pick up atleast one/ two activity and try to improvise on it.

Ask this question to you whether you have a real hobby, if not think and pick up a hobby. It will be definitely inside you, just you need to search within yourself (its just a tip for a more happier life..believe me, good hobby will make you happy...atlast, we all are striving towards things that will bring happiness to us and our surroundings)

Route 300...

You would be wondering what is this route 300? There may be 300 or more routes for any task to do..but this is not about that. This is about a bus route 300 - covering Canning town station to East ham London. Here it goes..

I landed London, and before coming here I know where am I going to stay. I had booked a cab from airport, when I reached home, that was a bit far from the tube station. I was a bit concerned, then I saw a bus stopping just opposite to the house - I overjoyed - need not walk a lot while going to office and can come home during late night as well.

First day, I was waiting in the bus stop - I remember bus came in 5/10 mins. Same thing happened couple more days. Bus is supposed to come every 20 mins, one fine evening, route 300 just left before I could reach the bus stop, I somehow decided it is better to wait for the next bus. 20 mins - passed by - bus did not come. After 5 mins, 300 came, but with the message in the board - 'Sorry Not in Service'. After seeing that, I told myself 'Aahaaaa..aarambichitaaanga daa'...Coincidentally opposite side also another 300 went with the same message..Then I thought 'Sorry not in service ku edhukku daa bus a ottringa'...That is just a start of it all, from that day on I never wait for 300, and I see sorry not in service 300 atleast once in a day, and I would have a smile in my face immediately..

These days I never wait for 300, but occasionally it surprises me by running in service...but the thing I love 300 route is whenever I see that bus, somehow it brings me joy within myself..Thanks 300 for that :)
