If you are a regular visitor of my blog, you must have found that my articles all involve exploring and learning.While relationships are mostly followed by hatred and negativity nowadays.I believe by becoming more understanding and having a learning attitude, you can change the entire game.We just need to free our minds .These are the 7 hobbies I developed in a relationship along with continuing my own.
Cooking
For those, who know me well, would not easily believe that Deepika likes cooking. But yes, now it has become a hobby of me. I have never known a single cooking trick in my 24 years of life. As I used to consider it as a burden on women ,cooking for the entire family. I am the one who can stick between books the entire day. But now my perceptions have changed and are still changing when I saw my husband cooking and enjoying it simultaneously. For those who are new to my blog, my husband cooks delicious food.
As a couple when you both cook together you have the time to talk to each other. Otherwise most of us are busy in scrolling our phones when idle. He has the ability to cook things by sniffing them. And I have learned things by watching him or the online recipes. It is fun on the whole, we both love cooking together while irritating each other.
It is an essential thing to learn whether you are a male or a female. Learning this art is not essential for making others happy but it is necessary for your survival. If you can make basic recipes to eat, then only you can do variations to make it healthier. If you do not know how much oil is usually needed for cooking a vegetable , then how you can make it a healthy meal.
Photography
My partner is passionate about photography. He loves to capture nature and wildlife. Before I met him, I have photographed people, moments and places. But now I have expanded to nature and wildlife as well. We have planned together many trips for photography .The things we packed was our camera gear, some food like sandwiches or parathas, tea, a water bottle and we are done. He is busy in shooting his content and I mine. We enjoy together the scenic views and the food we packed.
I love filming the places we travel together, and he is usually clicking nature including wildlife. If one of us would have hated photographing, then the other one would get bored. I have improved my photography skills by learning from him. I have learned to use camera in manual mode. Now we both can discuss about shooting stuff. So this way I developed this hobby in my relationship.
Learning a new skill together
We both belong to the same field of work. So, we have bought various online courses to learn together and enhance our skills that are beneficial for the job in the long run. That way, you can help each other and motivate like if one is not in the mood, but the other do. Then you will not ignore the schedule. He has more knowledge about our field and I am more hardworking so we as a team do wonders.
Cafes and Coffee
I was not a coffee lover until I met him. I used to like cafes, hanging out with friends and enjoying the ambience. He has made me a coffee lover by taking me to the cafe almost regularly. I know coffee is not good for health. The thing I believe is a coffee, or a tea create good conversation environments. Moreover, if you are not feeling good in a particular moment, going for a coffee with a friend or your partner instantly uplift your mood.
We are living together for almost three years now and sometimes it happens that you want to watch the crowd. You get bored in a house and with the same company. Sitting in a café change your thoughts.
Gyming
I used to go to a gym before marriage but was not aware about the fact that efficiency in exercises is so important. I was like doing gym but not performing it with accuracy which was why it was not giving me good results.
When we started going to gym together, he used to examine me if my exercises are accurate. We only realize this thing when we develop a muscle strain just by a wrong exercise posture. Now I have learned to use the machines in a proper way.
I am a yoga person in general. And he asks me about various yoga asanas, the proper techniques to do yoga. So, we kind of help each other. And doing gym together comes with the same added benefit that if one is not in the mood, other one is there.
Home Décor
I was not an art person. Sometimes during festivities, I used to prepare rangoli or handmade cards. But nowadays I love spending time making things by using raw material from the home so that they can be put to use. Also, I get to decorate my home with them. All this started after watching many Instagram brands selling handmade décor at good prices. So, I thought why not to make them by myself.
Recently I have made a bangle stand by folding left-over clothes on a rusted mug stand and using hair bands wherever necessary. We have a large variety of cloth left after stitching clothes at home. You can use macrame or other material as per your wish. It turned out good and served my purpose.
I saw a photo wall hanger on Instagram and wanted to create it by myself. A lot of photos were sitting idle after we travelled from USA and these handicraft decors look beautiful. Normally the material they use is macrame cords available to buy online but we had lots of wool unused at our home so mixed three colored wools-white, yellow and grey .It was twisted again and again to form a rope like effect. There was a curtain rod left unused. And our parrot’s tails are hung at the bottom, he leaves them usually in this season. Photos are hung with the clips I bought from USA.
Gardening
This is a new hobby ,I developed in a relationship with my mother-in-law that I am learning about.There are so many diseases in nowadays generation which were not there in history. It has actually become the need of the hour to grow your own food. So, I am working slowly towards building my own garden with some vegetables that are used frequently. There are techniques involved which are learned with experience. I have started with growing coriander using the coriander seeds in a large sized pot.This learning is in progress so I will surely discuss about this in my future articles.
