Hobbies: Food for soul

Let me start off by recalling what Picasso said "Every Child is an artist, The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."

My love for blogs, or for that matter writing whatever I feel like started a long ago; I remember it confining to my journals. Later, a friend of mine started writing short stories; I enjoyed reading them, but I enjoyed writing even more. Then, I realised "Maybe this is what I was asked by The Almighty to do"; that did not mean I should give up whatever I do for a living and start writing. It can be a hobby, pursued right out of interest. I strongly believe it is only interest which gets the best out of us even today, otherwise Sylvester Stallone need not train, Saina Nehwal need not play shuttle anymore, Sachin should have given up years ago.. They did not.. Neither should you!

Getting back to hobbies, this can be weirdest, wackiest hobby; but I insist you pursue it even if the world tears you down with responsibilities. You have and you work for so many hours a day, end result: you get salary; and with salary you buy food, clothes, gifts and whatever you can afford. So, all this don`t go deep down -Your Soul. Soul is that entity which cannot understand rules, which believes in art and which makes you unique. Hobby can be a form of art which soothes you, which you enjoy doing and once you stop that you turn into a machine - turn on go.. turn off sleep!

So, your job gets you food for your body. Make sure you feed your soul, art, creativity is food for your soul. And without food soul will perish and all that remains is a corpse!

Continue being that artist you were.. And we both know you are one!
