Time for Hobby

This weekend was great! Yeah, I connected once again with my hobby. Dancing. I love to dance. I am trained Rajasthani folk (Kaalbeliya Nritya) dancer. Won many inter and intrastate dance competitions in my college. Trained a couple of kids who later won competitions. I danced when I used to be happy, sometimes it was a stress buster too.It was calming and had helpful therapeutic side effects. Don’t remember why but gradually I started losing touch with it.

This weekend following my fitness goals I enrolled myself in a Zumba dance class. Found it interesting but on the way back to home, I felt sad, recalling the days I did not require a dance class to dance. After traveling down to the memory lanes I found myself the culprit because I couldn’t find a reason to justify that made to lose the connect from my hobby. A thing I still love so much. And I miss badly. This is a picture from the first competiton I won!

After a long day at work or after a full week of caring for home and child, why I could not manage a hobby hour. Engaging myself in this would help me in not only acquiring substantial knowledge, skill, and experience but also the most important gain, personal fulfillment. Religiously following my hobby would have helped me to do better or may be at least helped me to get rid of the stress I have been through. Well, it is not too late yet.

As soon as I reached home I downloaded all the music for my dance and synced with my phone. Spent some quality time listening to the tunes and then practiced for a good one and half hour. I realized I am missing all the flexibility and the style required by the dance form. But this time I won’t give up and will make sure to practice this daily and be the master of the art again. In my daily routine there will be a time for my hobby as well. Let us decide to revisit our forgotten hobbies and revamp them with fresh energy :-)
