    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    From my childhood, I really admired my brother. He's not my own brother, but my cousin's brother. Six or seven years older than me. I think he is the most wonderful person I have ever met. I really admire his work ethics, his commitment, his punctuality, everything I look up to and want to be when I grow up. I am already 21 years old, so I don't know how much I can grow further, but I want to become like him. He's in a business, he does my family business, and I want to work with him in that or any other future ventures he might want me to help him with. So I think that's the end. I don't know.

    A family member that I would like to work together is my aunt. She is a great cook. She really likes enjoying cooking and her cooking skills is really adorable. I worked with her during COVID times in her own bakery where homemade foods are available for people during that lockdown times. So now we are planning to give 50-50 partnership in that bakery and extend it to a big one and we are planning to include more varieties of foods in that bakery, different cuisines of Italian, Arabian, Indian recipes. I really adore her cooking skills. She adds her own recipes in the cooking and finds joy and contentment in her food. So I think being a partner with her in work will definitely contribute much benefit for us and our family. So I am really thrilled to start a business with her. It will be a great pleasure for me to work with her.
