Hobbies are a great Distraction from our Worries and Troubles!
*Life brought so many things to us, we need a little positive intention to appreciate them. Think about this Pandemic situation, we learn so many new things, adopted so different new hobbies; it surely adds a great value in our lives, no?*

Our hobbies change just like our life. But some stay too long, we get attached to them for decades after decades because they live in the core of our heart. If I say about such a hobby of mine, I have to name **Gardening**. 
Living in a megacity, in an apartment it was never easy to manage a home garden but I made it possible. 

> From my early childhood, as long as I can remember, we used to have a small lawn in front of our house. I used to plants different flowers and fruit trees there. I used to spend hours there. The lawn was not there anymore after we build a high rise there/. Also, I move out to this city but still miss that place!



It would be obvious if I say I actually didn't choose the hobby. I guess it was rooted inside me to love to be around nature. From my early childhood, I was a very shy, introverted person and used to feel comfortable around nature. This attitude made me come closer to nature and choose to spend time gardening.


*Now I live in this megacity- Dhaka in an apartment. I have two balconies, one is dedicated to my plants. I usually spend my early morning with my plants, I waster them, nurture them and spend some quality time there to have some fresh breath. It's almost hours a day daily.*

Some of my flower plants...

# Benefits/Learnings I get from this Hobby

The enormous about of joy and happiness my plants brought to us can't be explained in words. My balcony garden seems like a little green space in this concrete jungle. It's hard to find places where I can breathe, have some fresh air and spend some quality time but my mini garden made it possible. 

And not just for me my son loves to water the plants and we love to spend time together there. 

If I talk about the learning then I have to say, I have learned many things which I never thought I would. Because being raised in the city I never had many ideas about plant cares and cures. But now I know one or two things for sure which I can pass to my kid.

Food I got from my garden


# How my hobby is serving me?

I have some medicinal herbs, some vegetables, and flowers as well. My mini balcony garden provided me food, come cure for common diseases and sure improves my mental health. 

I grew some green peas for the first time this year. And I always produce spinach.

I prepared this lentil and spinach curry from my garden spinach. 

So...that's it. This hobby is serving me; it helps improve my mental health and gives me food; what else I could I ask for!

**Develop a hobby, give time to it and it will serve you in many ways!**
