Leisure
Leisure means free time i.e. the when our mind is at relaxation & body is at rest. It is the sweetest moment when we are at our sweet will to pass our time in joy & merriment. Modern life is a very busy life having little scope for leisure. But leisure is useful to both our body & mind. Our body needs rest & relaxation to regain energy & vigour. It is essential to keep the mind cheerful & to drive away dullness & monotony of work. All work & no recreation make us dull & monotonous. Indeed, leisure is almost as necessary for life as food & water. So we must make some provisions for leisure during the course of our routine work. As such, we should set apart at least a day in a week as a leisure for rest & recreation. To make the best use of our leisure we must chalk out a program to spend it. We may have a get-together of friends & relations on the day of leisure. We may spend the time by arranging some joyful activities like musical soiree, dance and drama. We may also spend the leisure among the members of the family playing indoor games and doing recreational pursuits and visiting friends. In fact, leisure is perhaps the essence of life.

Leisure means free moments in one’s life. There is nobody in the world who doesn’t like leisure. It is the time when one is free from work or other duties. In my free moments, I often read books of stories, poems, magazines, etc. Sometime, I enjoy watching television and listening to radio. I also work at my garden and of course give a company to my parents. Reading books is my long-practiced habit. In my free moments, I not only read books on stories and poems but also newspapers and magazines. Recently, I have developed a great fascination for science fiction. I enjoy reading these usually in the late morning. If I have any leisure in the evening, I don’t miss watching television. I enjoy specially the National Geography Channel, Discovery Channel, Magazine programmes, Documentary programmes, various film show and Drama serials. These programmes not only entertain us but also broaden our mind and intellect. Everyday I listen to BBC and VOA. Thus, I get a cope with the current world. I also spend much for leisure in gardening. In the afternoon, I make the soil loose, weed out grass and water the flower plants in my garden. It keeps me cheerful and happy. I think passing leisure in gardening fulfils my spiritual needs. In the short span of life, I hardly have any leisure to spare. For good reason, I try to utilize this whenever I have any.
OR,
To enjoy one’s time with profound relaxation without having any official strictness is called leisure. It is very dear to the people who are engaged in the daily hurdles of life. In villages, life seems so simple. The villagers spend their time in the tea-stalls gossiping with others. The women also share the feelings of others so frankly. But in cities, both men and women enjoy the leisures mostly in their room sitting in front of the TV set. The women talk on the phone frequently. Sometimes they entertain their friends and relatives around them. People both in villages and cities enjoy the natural sites which refresh their anxiety and fatigues. Men and women enjoy the superb nature of late winter. They travel from one place to another. The flowers are bloomed everywhere. It turns nature into a great look. The sky remains clear. Everywhere there remains a flow of enjoyment. Along with my friends, I go out for a suitable spot. We there enjoy the day very much. It relieves our frustration. So, as per my evaluation, leisures open the door of great enjoyment.
