Prose 20 : Collecting As A Hobby

 Collecting As A Hobby
                                     - T ABRAHAM

    Hobby is something that most of us spending our free time in some way or spending ones leisure time in some activity that cools and calms down one's mind and body. This activity is a break from our routine to gain back our energy and to refresh our spirit. Hobbies range from signing, dancing, drawing, colouring, reading, writing and this list is a never ending list flowing like an ever flowing stream. From this list of hobbies we are going to see about having the habit of 'collecting something' as a hobby.

    Collecting or collection is an activity where one collects things which are not easily available or is not seen in one's locale. Collecting stamps, coins, currencies, chocolate wrappers and books are seen among people and these are known to be some of the most famous things considered as a collection in one's hobby.

    So, the things which I collect as a part of my hobby are the currencies of the foreign nations which I usually get from my relatives and cousin who go to these nations as a part of their work and these are from Thailand, Japan and Dubai. I got my first foreign currency in the year 2017 and my second one in the year 2019 and it was given to me in the start of the year which was a sign that the year is going to be mine and it was definitely a wonderful year and a one that creates the feeling of nostalgia when thought upon.

    My collection of currencies not only contains the notes and coins of other nations but the old and the expired currencies of India as well. These when kept as a collection gives one a feeling of calmness to look into them during our leisure time.

    Then moving on to the stamp collection, we can see the stamps available in the current year and some of the older ones as well. For this collection I purchased a few fresh stamps to be kept in collection and only a few were received either via post or from certain random envelopes. The stamp collection is restricted to the stamps of our nation.

    So, for one to say something as a hobby it need not be a physical activity or an intellectual activity giving us comfort during our leisure time, but it can be something that can enter through our vision which gives calmness and energy to one's body and mind.

From Miller Memorial Library to the Anna Centenary Library - 25/06/2023

After about a week joining at Madras Christian College (Autonomous) for pursuing my undergraduate course in B.A English Language and Literature under the aided stream I had my first visit to my college library named as 'Miller Memorial Library'. Since, it was my first time I just took a random book from the 'English' section and read it. Then, whenever I had my free hours I started to have regular visits to the library. Till the end of my 1st semester I used to go either to the 'English'or 'Philosophy' section to read. Then, from my 2nd semester onwards I started to use Reading Hall 1 as our syllabus started to have poetry, prose, drama and fiction as I had my own books to read. I felt that my college's library is one among the places that is really good for people who want to use their time productively especially for the arts students.

The idea of multi-tasking is something very unique to the human beings, and every creation by God has some purpose and meaning within itself. The very idea of multi-tasking can be seen in the design of human body, mind and the benefits of multi-tasking seen is many. https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=cartoon+hand+palm&asset_id=145256163      Multi-tasking is doing a multiple array of things which are either our everyday chores, duties o...
