Lawn Tennis, Basket Balling, Reading, Music

  

Lawn tennis is a game in which two opposing players (singles) or pairs of players (doubles) use tautly strung rackets to hit a ball of specified size and weight that bounces over a net on a rectangular court. In basket ball, each team tries to protect the goal on their side while trying to make a goal on the opponent's side of the court. Reading is considered a good hobby because it leads to the all-round development of your brain and personality, while music is capable of raising states of consciousness, changing your mood, developing the brain, lowering stress levels and accessing different states of the mind.
