What Are Your Hobbies? The post I stumbled upon this week took me down memory lane. It spoke about a group of 10 friends from IIT Kanpur who were preparing for the civil services exams. They excelled in academics, cleared the toughest challenges, and reached the interview stage. But you know what terrified them the most? The question: "What are your hobbies?" For middle-class families of that time, life was all about survival. Success meant securing a prestigious college seat or landing a coveted job. Hobbies? Leisure? They were luxuries, almost irrelevant in the grand pursuit of stability. I hoped things would be different today. With access to technology, global exposure, and opportunities to explore passions, the new generation seemed poised to lead multidimensional lives. But yesterday, sitting in a hospital with my father for routine tests, I felt a sense of déjà vu. The overworked young doctors I met there reminded me of that story. Their smiles masked exhaustion, their soothing words couldn’t hide the toll their schedules had taken. Two weeks ago, my dear friend visited me with her daughters. I’ve known these girls since they were little—bright, lively, and brimming with potential. They excelled in academics, played tennis with personal coaches, took up leadership roles in school, and thrived in Rotaract. But now? Now, they’re both medical students, completely consumed by their rigorous schedules. Their lives revolve around textbooks, deadlines, and exams. The spark I once saw in their eyes? Dimmed. Their only escape is a movie on OTT platforms, squeezed into the few free hours they can find. This isn’t just about medicine. It’s about a system that pushes us to excel at the cost of our dimensions. Why must becoming successful mean becoming unidimensional? Why does the world demand we let go of our passions, our hobbies, and the very things that make us human? Hobbies aren’t just a line on a resume. They’re where curiosity blooms, where ideas spark, where resilience takes root. They’re where we learn to live beyond surviving. So, let’s not let the question “What are your hobbies?” terrorize another generation. Instead, let’s build a world where their hobbies—and their passions—are celebrated as essential parts of their journey to greatness.
