Can i have a coffee please

My brother was introduced to entomology first through an after-school club organized by one of his teachers, and it was not long before I also became a passionate insect collector. We both started first looking for butterflies and moths, and would go out together at weekends with nets and jars to find sunny meadows, and then come home and disappear into our own rooms to identify our catches. We each bought setting boards, papers and pins, and our parents bought us cabinets for our collections. We had a very good local natural history society, run by the city museum, and we went on field trips and meetings. It was there that my brother met a man who specialized in beetles, and from that point onwards, he developed an enduring fascination for Cleopatera.

I, too, found my specialism at a society meeting, when I was inspired by two men who had immense knowledge of flies. To this day, I love flies, and record my finds and send them in to a national biological records database.

I would never have thought there would be so many different species of fly, and that they would be so beautiful. When you look closely, it is amazing how much you can see in nature. I cannot imagine being outdoors on a fine day without looking for flies, and I’m sure that meadows are much richer to me than they would be without this extra fascination. Nowadays I use a camera to record my finds.

I never have to kill anything, which I am much more comfortable with. It is digital photography that has helped me do this, as I don’t think I could ever have been a good enough photographer with a traditional camera. I think my hobby is wonderful. Just to look at the flies costs me nothing, and I get so much from it. I don’t think there will ever come a time in my life when I would no longer call myself a dipterist.

My hobby: One of my hobbies is playing sports during my free time and especially cricket.

Cricket is a bat and ball game originated in Southern England. It is the national game of England too. At the beginning stage only test matches where held where a match use to go on for five or six days.Each team will consist of Eleven players.

A team which wins the toss will elect whether to bat or bowl. Later the conditions slowly changed and One Day Internationals came into practice where the match will be for just only one day. Each team will get 300 balls to face and the team which scores maximum run is declared as winner.

The style of game is still different at present where each team will face only 120 balls (popularly called as T20 20 overs game). The spectators give a complete response to such T20 games by attending the game in masses. They feel that the T20 games are much interesting than others forms of Cricket as the players will entertain them with many boundaries.

Cricket is my favorite game and I enjoy watching it in TV and also enjoy playing it with my friends. It is not only a recreation, but helps me to maintain good health.
