Leisure
Leisure means free time i.e. the time when our mind is at relaxation and body is at rest. It is the sweetest moment when we are at our sweet will to pass our time in joy and merriment (ZTpTrOf M)Modern life is a very busy life which have little scope for leisure. The progress of materialistic civilisation has made our life almost a continuous struggle. So we are always to be up and doing ('WwiR ztzrD for success in this struggle. This implies rhat there is no room for leisure for a man. But that is totally a wrong idea. A man must have some time everyday for relaxation. A machine that works without rest gets out of order very soon. Human body is not an exception to this. The'physical and mental make up of a man gets exhausted if it does not have rest and recreation. So leisure is very essential for our life. It is necessary to keep the mind cheerful and to drive away dullness and drudgery of work. All work and no recreation makes us dull and cheerless. Indeed, leisure is almost as necessary for life as food and 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 for rest and relaxation. We must chalk out a programme to spend leisure. We may have a get-together of friends and relatives on our leisure. We may spend the time by arranging some joyful activities like musical soiree, dance and drama and so on. Leisure is beneficial io both our body and mind. In fact,leisure is perhaps the essence of life.
