What is your favorite hobby or pastime?
Most people use their free time to meet friends, host parties, or go out for dinners and brunches with loved ones, and honestly, thatās a fun way to spend a break. But thereās one thing I particularly love doing: giving time to myself ā¤ļø
Most of the time, when I am on a break, I love cooking my favorite meals. It could be stuffed paratha with chutney, curry with rice, fried maggie, or sometimes a sandwich with mayonnaise and sauce, and of course, a cup of chai. Then I put on a TV show, usually a comedy. I love watching something funny while I eat because it keeps my mood positive and happy.
I have often heard that we should focus only on eating while having our meals, and thatās true, but if I have to watch something while I eat, I prefer something lighthearted and cheerful.
Some of my favorite TV shows are The Big Bang Theory, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, and of course, Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain. I used to love watching Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain when Shilpa Shinde played Angoori Bhabhi. I know Shubhangi Atre has also portrayed the role beautifully, but for some reason, I canāt imagine anyone else as Angoori Bhabhi. Shilpa Shinde is a fabulous actress and her charm, beauty, and the perfect mix of innocence and mischief made the character truly special.
Most of the TV shows I enjoy are lighthearted comedies that I can play at random. I just pick any episode and watch while having my favorite meal. Once I am done eating, I clear up the kitchen, take a short power nap for about half an hour to an hour, and then wake up to listen to some beautiful music. Sometimes I paint or write afterward.
Thatās my favorite way to spend my free timeāsimple, cozy, and full of little things that make me happy.
