Nurturing Hobbies For Teens

Teenage is a carefree time when you have ample time to indulge in hobbies of your choice. Nowadays teens are so hooked on to the World Wide Web and TV that parents are struggling hard to get their teens involved in some hobby or the other. Teens have to realize that hobbies are good for them and could keep them away from harmful activities.

Teens can learn so much about focus and accomplishment and motivate them. Here are few hobbies that teens can consider:

Music

Music is a wonderful hobby for teens and develops their creativity, self expression and boosts their confidence. First you have to decide what kind of instrument you want to play and then you could register for classes at a music instrument. Music is a wonderful way to unwind for stressed out teens.

Collecting

Many teens like to collect things over a period of years. Coins and stamps are the usual items that teens collect. There are many other ideas like collecting bookmarks, keychains, invaluable baseball cards, even posters. This hobby caters to the imaginative aspect of the teen. Many teens even like to collect souvenirs from places they have visited. This is a way for the youngsters to express themselves. Stickers and autographs make for great collectibles

Photography

Photography is another excellent hobby that teens can take up. Initially you may have to purchase a digital camera and as your passion deepens, you may consider investing in expensive equipment and as time flies and you become experienced, you can even consider going professional.

When teens get involved in a hobby that they like, it keeps their mind occupied and keeps them away from trouble. Hobbies help a teen feel good about him. Teens should be able to discover for themselves what attracts them and in time enables them to bloom into mature adults.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Union Budget India 2026-2027: 12 shocking truths that affect your wallet and future

The Union Budget India 2026-2027 is more than numbers on paper. It’s a mirror of promises, propaganda, and practical policies. This article breaks down what’s truly useful for you—jobs, taxes, inflation, and infrastructure—while cutting through the noise. Think of it as a friendly guide that explains the budget like a story, not a spreadsheet. Why does the Union Budget India 2026-2027 matter to you? India’s fiscal deficit for 2026–27 is pegged at nearly ₹17 lakh crore, while interest payments alone consume over ₹14 lakh crore. This means most of what the government borrows is not funding new projects but servicing old debt—a cycle that resembles “evergreening” of loans.

Epitome of equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...
