    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.

    A person who wears unusual clothes is none other than Ranveer Singh. He is one of the most famous Bollywood actor and has given N number of super hit movies. Despite being a very famous actor and a very talented actor, his dressing sense is not up to the mark. While receiving awards and attending functions, he is usually wearing colourful, vibrant and sometimes feminine clothes. His clothes are unique yet weird. He tries to make his clothes funny and humorous. However, they appear to be low and awkward. Once I saw him at an award function wearing a floor-length suit, something that a formal man would never wear to an award function. Instead of choosing a formal suit, he chose a floor-length suit with a dupatta that made the look unique but extremely weird.

    Nowadays people try to have different kind of clothing on them to attract the other people around and get their attention for their look and appearance. Here I would like to talk about a person whom I know personally and that person is none other but my colleague Helena. She is someone, whenever I see her, she wears something unusual which means that whenever she comes for work, she wears something like pyjama and wearing unusual, you know, night dress kind of stuff, she wears those kind of clothing at workplace. So I find it unusual but it's not that informal but I find it rare instead of like, instead of other people, she wears something unique and unusual. I can say that unusual as well. So that can vary like over there at my workplace, there is a rule that we should have specific kind of clothing but whenever I see her, I feel like she is someone who is wearing clothing against our rules but somehow we have a clothing store and it's a retail store so our manager also allows them because they have their preference more on appearance so she looks different but somehow she can manage it with the current fashion that is going on so she can balance it well and that's how I feel about her.

    The person that I think has weird choice in clothing is Komal Pandey. She is an influencer on Instagram who is popularly known for her controversial clothing habits. However, she has a great sense of fashion, still her styling is kind of weird because she claims that the type of dressing that she does is a day-to-day wearable thing which is casual clothes, but in reality those clothes are not casual clothes, in fact, they are mere pieces of bikinis or vulgar clothing which a normal person cannot wear in their day-to-day life, especially she mentions that such type of clothing is quite famous in India. However, it's not the way she thinks because when we wear the clothes that she tells us to, in reality or in the normal street markets, people would just glare at us and give us awkward signs.

    I have a friend whose name is Ankita Sharma. She has been my friend since childhood and we have grown together. I find her fashion choices a little quirky. She always like to accessorize her clothes with some you know funky and bohemian type of jewelries and big pearls or the sapphires. So I find that fashion sense a little unusual but it suits her because she carries that with great grace and confidence. Her choice of colors are also really bold and bright and very funky colors she likes to wear. So I think such fashion choices make a great fashion statement and I also believe that you need to have that confidence and poise and grace in you to carry that. People might say anything about you but that shouldn't matter to you. If you like what you're wearing then you should just go for it. Also I believe that I might not be able to pull that off easily as she does because her fashion choices are really great. I recommend her that she should do something in fashion only like fashion designing or you know in something related to designing such funky and bold clothes because people like her are also there in the industry like Ranveer Singh who tries to mix and match like he wears a skirt with a shirt and these things are only done by people who are confident in themselves. You don't need to worry about what the world will think just wear what you can create a move in the society and maybe that will become the new fashion trend in the upcoming years. So I think she is a great great fashionista.

    One of my friend wear unusual clothes since I know him from the childhood because me and him are classmates from class 1 and his name is Pranav and he is my friend since childhood so I know him very well since then he used to love to wear unusual clothes I don't know why but every time I see him outside he wears very unusual clothes from the other like designer pants, fashion, caps and other things as well and there are other things I don't know much about it but he wears only trendy dress which are usually trend on South Korea just like that he doesn't wear any Indian traditional dress and he loves to wear just like other fashion designer which are not usually very famous in India also and it is very weird because every time he wears he looks like an unusual person because everyone is watching at him and he doesn't care about the people he only care about his fashion but the very weird thing is could be his dressing style because in India we don't dress like that in foreign countries people used to dress like that but in India people don't dress up like that

    So, to be honest, I really haven't seen or met any person who wears weird clothes. So, but if I had to talk about a person, I remember one person from my undergraduate program. Her name is Kavita. So, she is a crazy fan of Korean dramas. And during the college days, she used to wear a lot of Korean dresses. She would buy them on different websites. And also she would purchase a lot of unique dresses from different Instagram pages. So, when I first saw her, it really felt very weird. Because she would dress in a way which looks very different from others. All the people in the class, we wear a normal kurta or jeans. Or maybe we would wear a traditional dress during festival times. But she is the only person who always finds a different weird combination of dresses. Where she wears a skirt and a blazer on top of it. And sometimes she would wear a very big hand dresses. Which actually look good and weird sometimes. And she is more inclined towards the Korean culture and tradition. But I won't say it is very bad to look at. But sometimes her dressing looks a little strange and weird.

    I usually don't judge people by their clothes, but there are some people who wear clothes not in an appropriate manner, especially there is one person in our class, the way she dresses is not correct for the college purpose, because if you are going to college, you need to dress in a certain way that it is not vulgar, especially she wears very tight dresses without any dupatta, because of this it is very uncomfortable for us to see her, not for only us, in our class there are so many boys, even though they are feeling very awkward because of her way of dressing, and I believe that we have to dress properly according to the rules, as we are going to the college, we need to follow the certain rules, because we are observed by many people in college, so you need to style yourself in a decent and proper manner, so that no one will judge you based on your looks, and I personally feel that dressing should be in a proper manner when you are going to a college, because in college there are different kinds of people, different kinds of persons, so in order to avoid any misbehaviour,

    Yeah, the person's name is Suresh. He always used to wear plain shirts or jerk shirts irrespective of the situations or functions, whatever. I know him for 10 years and at the time of schooling we were introduced to each other. So, I believe that attire or the way of dressing speaks about our confidence, our behavior, etc. So, when we are not having proper clothing to a relevant situation, so it makes us as an odd man out from the public. At the same time, he used to wear some wrong combination of shirt and pant, which feels somewhat awkward to see in the public. So, it makes him to be even another person or else outsourced person from that of being. His choice of clothing is very bad.

    Ranveer Kapoor is a person who wear very unusual clothes. He is a TV star, he is a very well-known personality in film industry. He got married recently. He generally wears striped clothes, animal printed clothes with different type of accessories. This is not as per the current trend, where normal movie stars wear, carry different clothes like full suit or formal clothes. He appears in different colors of clothes like red, blue, green, which is not the regular one.

    I have a colleague who is...

She always go for oversized clothes which are... which look poor, not about the quality.
