    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.

    I visited a museum when I was in my 5th grade. That's the first and last time I went to a museum. And when it comes to that, it was a field trip, which is organized by my school. And when I went there, the museum is fully filled with British products, like their old coins and the war machines and pistols and a lot of paintings. By seeing that, I learned a lot of things about British culture. And a lot of Indian things also got displayed. And a lot of information of Kohinoor diamond has got displayed. So, I learned how India was when it was under the British rule. Not only that, we also wrote an essay about that museum. So, I made a lot of background research about that. This museum is located in Chennai, because my native is Chennai. So, I went to the museum when I was in 5th grade. So, when coming to this place especially, it was a very sunny day. So, I got quite a fever because of the museum. Not only that, we were not having any food till the evening. So, that is also a big issue when it comes to that place.

    Well, I am not fond of visiting museums but I do remember 2 years ago I had to go there because my father insisted me to do. The name of the museum is The Art Gallery. It is around 7-8 km far away from my home. Well, when I was there I saw a lot of historic things such as galleries, some swords which has been used by the kingdoms and everything. The museum was quite big. I even get tired of walking around this and the people who are working over there are very nice, they give you every single detail if you ask about it which is rarely can see people nowadays in any tourist place. Although it is not tourist place but yes I do enjoy while talking with him about the things which are kept over there. After so many times when the time was passing at the moment I do not enjoy honestly. Furthermore, when a person came and he asked me about how my experience is. I said it is not going good as there is no I am not interested in the history or anything. So I don't know how he just described something to me which is really enjoyable to hear for my ears and I took interest in every time and then later I found of it and my experience was really interesting by Kodugua's kid and mesmerizing.

    The Aracal Museum which I have recently went in 2022, it's not a place to chill with friends or family. It's a historical place obviously. My experience was very bad when I go with the friends because it's not a place like that we think. I think, I felt like it's a very good place but it's not having a proper maintenance and nothing was there. I think nowadays the museum is getting lost because no proper maintenance, nothing in that. Aracal Museum is in Kannur only. It's a nearby Kannur town. It's easy to travel from there, from Bastar. Near 2 kilometers is there.
