Hello,
I have so many outside interests like reading story books, listening music, watching short inspirational movies, cooking, writing poem, gardening and helping people. But these interest depends on my mood and life's conditions.
Sometimes I only like to keep silent.
Actually, I want to do everything in my life whatever I have not done.
So my outside interest is to think out of a new thing and to do that.
If I don't know swimming and I want to learn then it is my outside interest.
As a professional, related to my work if I don't know something then I want to know everything this is my outside interest.
For me, every new thing is my outside interest because I want to learn it and I want to know about it.
That's it. Thank you.

I enjoy running and staying fit. I actually finished a half-marathon last week. I am also a board member of a local charity group that organizes community service programs like feeding the homeless and cleaning up trash off the streets. Our City Sweep last October had the biggest turnout we have ever had.
Only mentioning a couple hobbies is perfectly acceptable and preferable since it shows you have a life outside of your work but that you are not too spread out. No one is purely devoted to their work, so talking about your hobbies is a great way to show the employer your individuality and the skills you could potentially incorporate into this line of work.

I've authored a novel and few poems, also I like playing Piano and Violin.
But I often integrate my 'outside' interests with my work.
(for example, if you see the program codes I write, I make sure it has a poetic structure and goes on like a story of variables rather than like a computer generated sheet of printed ink).
So in my perspective, my work should have all that I'm interested in, (or most of it).
Therefore, if you want my 'outside' interest, watch me 'inside' work.

My outside interest is cooking, (am very foodie), I love traveling, (the more you travel and explore the more you learn), spend time with my family, I love kids (they are so pure innocent and real), I like reading self-help books and I research a lot about well-known people and celebrities. I enjoy nature (I believe this is the best way to meditate when away from your work). Rest I keep my life simple.

I like gardening. I have many types of plants in my garden. I take care of them. And I feel. Whenever I spend time in my beautiful garden, it helps me reducing my stress.
In many difficult situations in my life. When I go and start thinking in my garden. It has shown always a new path. A new solution to me. It's fun spending time there.

It's one of the interesting topics to share our thoughts.
My outside interest is mainly a long drive along with friends and my family.
Playing cricket and football, watching movies along with gangs with whistles. Spend a daily maximum of 2 hours online and upgrade the current situation in the local and international.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy traveling, trying my hand at baking and cooking, and spending time with my family. I also enjoyed doing humanitarian service with Doctors Without Borders in Nigeria for a year after medical school. I hope to do more volunteering in the future.
