    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 would like to talk about my cousin named Janhavi. She is my uncle's daughter. She is 30 years old and she lives in Hyderabad. Among all cousins, I am very close to her because we used to spend a lot of time together during our childhood. As a person, she is very friendly and open-minded. Whenever she is having a problem or I am having a problem, we used to share everything through phone call if we are far away from the place. But if we are nearby, then we used to share everything and we used to take the decision by discussing togetherly only. Why I admire her most is because her positive attitude towards her life. Even though she is having lot of challenges in her life, she manages to stay calm and find solution without panicking. I feel very lucky to have her in my life as she supports and guides me whenever I need an advice.

    The person I felt who is very open-minded, that is my co-worker, her name is Mrs. Bharati Naik. She is 62 years old. She will always share her feelings, ideas, problems very openly with everyone. Usually all my subordinates are isolating Mrs. Bharati. Especially while going for lunch, no one will call her. She will always tell that others are isolating her, no one is talking to her. She will tell loudly. In some cases she will make some mistakes. That time others will scold her. If she felt anything bad, she will cry in front of others also. She will not hide anything inside her mind. If we are opening or exploring our feelings with someone, that will provide some relief. Rather than keeping it inside the mind. So I felt that Mrs. Bharati is like that. She is always exploring her feelings with others. She will not keep anything in the mind. But in case of me, I will not explore anything with others. Everything I will keep it in the mind. But that is not good. We should explore our feelings, discuss our feelings, issues with others. So that others can help with different solutions to overcome our problems.

    I know a girl called Pornali, who is very close to me. She is way younger than me, but we share a very good relationship. She is like my sister. I call her my soul sister. She talks very frankly and she never hides her feelings in front of me. She is a girl who says everything, whatever is there on her mind, frankly, fluently. She never restricts herself. She is a very good dancer and I think this creative skill has contributed in making her so much fluent and so strong in expressing herself lucidly. She writes good poetry and these inherent creative skills in her has made her more endearing to me. And maybe that is the reason she is so eloquent. She speaks so well. The one thing that I find very interesting about her is that she is very honest. And it is often so that honest people are never restricted by anything. Those who are honest, they are never scared of speaking their mind. This girl whom I am talking about, this Pornali, she is very simple and very honest. Whatever comes to her mind, she speaks it frankly. So this girl, this Pornali, she is very close to my heart. And I look up, though she is younger than me, I look up to her as a person. And I have learnt many things from her. The first thing that I have learnt is never be afraid. And the second one is to be very determined. She was so very determined that...

    A person who show her feeling very openly is none other than my beautiful wife. I met her during my late twenties. I remember the day I met her. It's on 1st March 2024. I met her at a temple near my residency. It was a beautiful morning. During our first meet, we discussed a lot. And she was very open at our first meeting itself. I admired her and I loved her for her openness in various aspects. I was not as open as my wife. That part made me to love her. In contrast to my wife, I was so secretive. May be that's why I loved her openness. Moreover, I have appreciated my wife for her equality. I wish my children to have this same quality so that they can sort out their problems with this openness. I feel most of the problems in human relationship is due to the misunderstanding that happens due to over secrecy.
