Thread: Hobbies and Interest

A lot of people have many different hobbies and interests, sometimes you get time and are able to fulfill your wishes and dreams to complete or take part in your favourite hobbies and interests. Sometimes life comes up with things and your unable to do any of the hobbies or interests you like.

I have a lot of desire to learn many different things, but don't have the time, then one day i will be married, then there's no time at all. But some of my hobbies and interests include learning to play a musical instrument, playing and learning some sport or form of martial arts, painting, learning photography professionally, fashion designing and a lot more things.

So what hobbies or interest do you guys have, and how far have you gone in pursuing your hobbies and interests?

I have too many hobbies, not enough time or money for all of them ;-)

photography, cooking, collecting stuff,
radio control planes, bikes and cars,
musical instruments, holograms, ivory carvings, straight razors,
basketball, badminton, soccer, volleyball etc.....

wow, impressive, I wish I had followed my interests in music more formally. I am just an amateur version of you I guess ;-)
I too play some of these instruments but nowhere near a pro level.
Just hobby. I have a collection of musical instruments none of which I play
really well, I have guitar, violin, harmonium, tabla, mridangam, flutes,
harmonicas, keyboard etc. I missed realizing my potential as a
musical genius

Wow, thats superb.

Do post some picx of it if you can. And how you designed it. Maybe you can help some of our forum members go green.:thumbup:

BTW are u stayin in outskirts of city, i mean otherwise its difficult to get a constant supply of wind, unless ur on a high rise building....

ya i stay in outskirts of the city so i get enough wind but sometimes here also i dont get as its summer in day time no wind at all and in evening and night ill get quite good wind..! sure will post it tomorrow by taking pics

UPS is normal ie took an old APC UPS and connected a car battery to it, the UPS is only for talking the power from battery and giving it to system, for charging i have made a different charger as from win turbine the current i get will be varying, i have installed a 500VA alternator so my batter will be fully charged in 1 hr and i can be using it.

what about the cost of the wind turbine etc , do get it readymade or wat ...
and same details abt the generator ...

@Kiran

It is really nice to hear about your multiple qualities. Respect you for these. :28:

Thanks,

some of the qualities i have is, i got it when i was not even aware of that as i was too young for that.

@ newprouser

the cost came up to 10 K including turbine charger everything except battery

I spend most of my time on internet(various activities). Other than internet and computers -

Reading Books and Watching documentaries on archeoastronomy, some unsolved mysteries, conspiracy theories and other historical events, Songs collection (mostly hindi), Watching movies(i am a big movie buff - both hindi and english), Following various sports events(specially cricket and soccer) are areas of my interest. Used to play guitar(just learned for a few months) a few years back(not any more).

History's Mysteries
Ancient Discoveries
Cities of the underworld
UFO hunters
How the Earth was MAde
The Universe All Gone

They still do have a few shows like Modern Marvels

oh no i dont watch .. so asked what kind of programs they show
by looking at the list saurav posted they seem pretty interesting.

they are far more interesting to watch ...... superbly presented ...... some things are best seen . They showed things you would never have heard off , but very very interesting .

i miss that old History channel

ya modern marvels is another good show. i only named the ones not shown anymore. these shows are still shown on the original history channel(not in india any more).

Not sure about Dogfights. Havent been following the channel recently. Used to watch it daily for a few hours till a few months ago.
