The hidden language of your soul

-By Isha Madhavan, XI A

In this competitive world not only teenagers but adults as well are suppressed under the pressure of work or studies along with the rising expectations of the people surrounding them. Personally, I feel that to forget about this stress and tension every person should get engaged in a hobby or art form of their choice.

As the title states it is a hidden language of our soul which helps us express our emotions and views in various ways. “the best way to cultivate a hobby is to learn something new or to explore stuff around you”, says Monika Kalurkar a dance choreographer who conducts classes along with numerous workshops at Studio 9 in Kothrud. She personally feels that any art form brings us joy and enriches our lifestyle not only by giving us something fun to do in our leisure time but it also helps us learn a new skill and gain specialized knowledge about it as well. According to her, each person is unique and thus every person’s interests and liking influence their choice of hobby making that unique as well. A zealous passion that develops for any particular art captivates each and every one of us in a very personal way.

It helps us to relieve stress by helping us relax and seek pleasure in what we are good at. It increases our patience level along with our self esteem and confidence. Nowadays as people have become aware of the importance of arts and hobbies, they have started taking up certified courses that educate us about these things and also give us specialisation in these courses. This helps in development of motor skills, decision making, risk taking and inventiveness which is not only important for youngsters but adults as well.

Monika followed her passion and with her own hard work and efforts has reached the pinnacle of her success. She conducts various workshops for dance in Pune and Mumbai and also conducts her own fitness batch at her own studio in Kothrud. Not only has pursuing her hobby given her the various advantages mentioned above but has also given her the chance to explore the world, meet new people and experience tons of new things. The learning of a new hobby or art may start off as a stress buster but who knows one day it may become your passion and maybe even your career which may take you (marvellous) places!!
