About

When I was a small child, keeping hobbies was very much in. Wherever one went, the elders would invariably ask, “What is your hobby?” And every kid in those had a hobby. Mostly kids collected stamps, coins, match box covers, read books, collected post cards and many other things.  I for myself collected stamps and would spend my pocket money in buying stamps to add to my collection.
One of my brothers loved making small aero planes from balsa wood and paper, installed a small engine and flew it with remote control. Mind you I am talking of the age when such hobby was very rare and no one knew much of these small aero planes that he used to fly from Lahore Flying Club’s runway. The place from where he bought the kits was known as Hobby Lobby. And all along these years, the name of the shop always fascinated me.
although I wanted to name my blog Hobby Lobby, but there are already many blogs with this name. So I made it Hobby Shobby – a forum for the hobby lovers. While I have a separate and exclusive blog on philately (My Philatelic World), I wanted to have a forum for likes of others as well. So this blog of mine is a platform for all hobbyists and their hobbies. I shall share all news and details of every hobby that interests people around the globe and would welcome everyone to share their views on their hobbies here.

  3. Hi Jalal,

    This is Jose Lozano.

    This morning I stopped by your website and I saw that your entire site is related to hobbies, I loved that; I thought this could be a good opportunity to share something in your site.

    I am the owner of www.rchobbiesonair.com and I’m a regular guest blogger and I would love the chance to create content for your website. Unique, Interesting, high quality and keyword rich written articles about RC Hobbies, RC aviation toys and fun activities, all targeting to your audience.

    I would like to include links back to my website (2 to 3) in the article body or in the about the author credits, and the only thing I’d like to ask for, are the links in the article to remain intact as well as the article to be included in your site map or have access from your home page.

    I’m very flexible in terms of content and topic; please allow me to show you a sample of my work, from there and if you like the post, I will start to work on this exclusive content immediately for you.

    Please let me know any comment or question.
    Thanks in advance for the opportunity to contribute!
