    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.

    A film that made me laugh would be Three Idiots. It was released back in 2007. I watched it with my family in the theatre in Hyderabad. It made me laugh because of its comedic features. It had casting of Aamir Khan, Madhavan and my favourite actress who was Kareena Kapoor back when I was a child. The story it was focused was about university students struggling to find their own interests and being motivated to enter jobs when they graduate. I wonder how the director made such a serious topic turn into such a comedic movie of all time. It had various comedic scenes which I still remember to this day. It was really iconic. The favourite scene I had was where they would get drunk and mess up with their school professor during the night and would get beatings later in the morning. The dialogues of the scene and their acting made it just fun. In a nutshell, I would describe Three Idiots as a movie which would make any local laugh. .

    One movie that made me laugh a lot is Mr.Bean's Holiday. I saw this movie about 10 years ago. It's a Hollywood movie directed by Steve... I usually don't see movie because it takes time, so I prefer seeing a short film or web series. But this movie title made me the curiosity to watch. The story is about the Bean won a holiday trip to France where he faces a lot of unexpected moments and funny situations during his way. For example, he tries to order food in a French restaurant, but he doesn't understand anything on the menu, so he randomly finds something and ends up getting a food called Oyster. It looks so weird and he doesn't like it. His facial expression and reaction in each and every scene is hilarious. I just laughed a lot while watching a whole movie. Because Mr.Bean's movies are not about dialogues, it's about the action, reaction and the expression. It's very simple but yet interesting.
