    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.

    So, recently I have watched this film Karwa, so it is a Bollywood film in which the actors were Irrfan Khan and another Dhupi actor. So the film was about a person who was on a journey, basically solo travelling, and he self-introspected himself during that journey and got to know about himself and the various perspectives through that journey. So the funny thing about the movie was that Irrfan Khan, who was playing as a lead role, was a very fun character in that movie and he was also on that journey with the other co-actor. So he used to do these fun things in between, you know, talking and then he would make the other person laugh and his way of talking, I mean the accent was a bit peculiar and erratic but it was something that made me laugh. And I have recently watched that film, I think around 10-15 days back and it really left an impression on me as a person. So what can we do to learn new things or self-introspect ourselves so that we can be the better version of ourselves. So yes, I think the movie is a must-watch and everybody should watch it to get the better version of themselves.

    One movie that I had remembered is Gary on Jetta which made me laugh. It made me laugh because of its funniest scene they are having. I watched it in the year of 2016 when I was in my teenage. I watched it first with my parents in a movie theatre in Picardy which is in sector 35 of Chandigarh. Moreover, in this movie, there are too many famous actors like G.P.Garewal, Pino Tello, Gurdit Guggi and many more. In this movie, it is having a lot of confusion related to the son who gets married without telling his parents. He went on the rented house to live but unfortunately his wife booked a rent apartment in his husband's own house because she did not know about where his husband lived because he told her that he is an orphanage child. At the end, I would like to mention that this movie is having a lot of fun and I like to watch it whenever I free. I recommend my all of the friends that they should watch it whenever they free because it will make them laugh or happy when they feel low. And me too, I always watch it when I feel low.
