    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, one movie which always makes me laugh is a movie called T.E.D.I.A.T.S. starring Aamir Khan, our mother and one other person. I watched the movie when I was in 3rd grade, I viewed it in the theatre with my family. So the movie was about the life of a group of engineering students who had different hobbies and one of them didn't really want to take engineering and all of this is covered in a humorous and sarcastic way. Even in the end there was a twist which was very very humorous and I feel that this movie has become a comedy classic for most of the people and even a few of the engineering students relate with it because of some part of it being realistic sometimes.

    So the movie that made me laugh was Chichore. I watched it during my 11th standard with my brother. We watched it on TV. It is one of the wonderful movies I have ever seen in my life because it is very funny as well as a movie that helped us to understand what life is, how life is. And that movie gave me the strength to not giving up on me and working on myself. Chichore is a movie where a child suicides, tries to kill himself because he thinks he is a loser. So this movie is really funny but we can see that even if a person is funny from outside, it doesn't mean he is happy from inside because that person may be going through so much pressure during that time. It was my 12th, it was my 11th, so I also had a great pressure from my parents, my relatives, from everyone. In Asian household, that's how it works. So Chichore was a movie, it was a comfort movie for me because it helped me to determine my goals and not giving up on it. So I think everyone should watch this. I always recommend this movie to every 9th grader.

    So the film which made me laugh the most is a Bollywood film named Gulmarg which was released way back in 1979. It was introduced to me first by my father 4 years ago when he recommended me to watch it as it was family friendly and gave a few lessons also. It starts by introducing the cast, two brothers and the sisters and the boss. So the younger brother lies for the boss that his mother is sick and he goes to a football match. Then the boss comes to find out that he is lying and then he lies that he has a twin brother which in reality he does not. Then the story goes on further and then the boss comes to know that it is all a lie and the young man just pretended that he had a brother just to keep his job in a safe spot and there's the ending. A lesson which I learnt from this movie is sometimes it's a rarity that you need to lie in your life but that lie can have a big impact in life whether on your professional life or your personal life it can have a big impact.

    I watched numerous movies in my life, but one of the comedies I watched in my life is Three Idiots. It is basically this movie made on the college life of an engineering student. Apart from all this, in this movie, the role of Amir Khan and Sharman Joshi is very beautiful. Their ability to transfer the dialogue and doing acting is excellent. And apart from all this thing, the music of the movie is very funny and they add a very good small music in that. Apart from all this, I watched this movie with my peers in my childhood. I watched this movie in the multiplex and I also enjoyed this movie because of their beautiful dialogue, story writing and their beautiful cinematic scenes. Because of excellent acting by their actors, this movie has one of the blockbuster movies in Bollywood history. And not only the major lead actors doing a very good work, but however,

    one of the most entertaining and hilarious film I have ever seen is a Bollywood classic called welcome directed by Ameez Aziz. it's a comedy of errors filled with abuse situations one of the most one of the most entertaining and hilarious movies I have ever seen is Bollywood classic called welcome directed by Aneez Bajni. it is a comedy of error filled with absurd situations over-the-top character and immersible comic timing. I first watched this movie around four years ago during a family get-together and I loved it. I watched it for the first time when I was a teenager and I first watched this movie around four years ago during a family get-together we had all gathered at my cousin's place and someone suggested playing a light-hearted movie from the very first scene. we were hooked, we laughed so hard that our cheeks literally hurt by the end of it. the film features a star-studded cast including Akshay Kumar, Anil Kapoor, Nana Partikar and Paresh Awal all of whom are known for their outstanding comic abilities but the character that truly stole the show for me was Majnubhai played by Anil Kapoor. he's a gangster who is secretly passionate about becoming a painter. one of the funniest scene is when he proudly shows off his bizarre painting of a donkey and expect everyone to praise it like it's a masterpiece. I still laugh when I think about that scene. what made the film even more enjoyable was its perfect blend of clean humor, witty dialogues and excreted situations. watching the film with my family added to the joy, the shared laughter made the experience unforgettable. to this day whenever ever I feel low or stressed I re-watch welcome because I know it was uplift my mood instantly. it's just not a comedy film it's a laughter therapy session and discourse.

    I like watching movies of Bollywood types. We also like to watch action movies and other comedy movies. But my favorite movie is Phir Hara Pheri. I watched this movie in May 2024. When my friend Inder who lives in Jaipur, he comes at my city and he says that he wants to watch a movie. So we go to cinema and watch Phir Hara Pheri. In this movie, three main characters are very comedian. One is Akshay Kumar and other one is Sunil Sethi. And the last one is Press Rawal. All three are very comedian. All three actors are doing good job in that comic film. And in the last, the scene that makes me cry.

    I usually don't watch movies but when I do I watch documentaries and those which enrich my knowledge. Let's say movies like Interstellar and Zero Gravity. They have improved my sense of thinking and everything a lot but if we talk about some film or some sort of videography which made me laugh then I'd say the prime video series called Young Sheldon which includes a family of a mother, a father, two brothers and a sister. This has a really like you know a bit adultish kind of meaning behind it but having said it it's also really fun like putting abrupt jokes or adding things. Let's say some family issues which occur with most of the families around the world including some family issues and things we all could relate to is what this series has made me feel and it's truly a fun experience watching it with my friends and my little brother sometimes when he's free. Overall I'd like to conclude this by saying this is a really amazing series and if you haven't then if you haven't watched it then I'm pretty sure you should because I don't think you'd have any regrets after watching it. It has a few seasons which never bore you of anything it only gives you more knowledge and fun. That's it thank you
