One day after break, I was standing and talking there with one of my friends and another friend of mine was running through the hallway and accidentally she pushed my shoulder and my pencil box hit the ground and it broke into multiple pieces to the point that it was not functional anymore.

    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.

    Till today I have met so many people who are wearing that weird combination of upper and lower clothes so I am a person who love to wear professional when I go to any office work and when it's come to occasion I wear that kind of clothes so when I was in 10th standard one of my sir name Giri sir and he is taking our science so he generally wear a bright color like orange and bright yellow and red color shirt with the formal blank black pant and it's look very weird to wear that dark color in school because it's a formal platform where you should wear a decent and light color of shirt which suitable for that profession so I personally don't like that combination of him and yeah always I feel very weird and that very he have a very less fashion sense so I personally don't like his choice and he choose our uniform so obviously his choice is very bad so he definitely choose our bad color combination of our uniform too so we also don't love to wear that kind of uniform but we cannot say anything to him because after all he is a principal and subject teacher so we cannot obey any rules

    Recently, I have noticed the Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh who usually wear unusual clothes. He has been noticed to wear multicolored weird clothes in all his interviews and movie promotions. I think he wears such clothes to get public attention and gather more into gossip type topics and moreover he wears such clothes because he wants to get public's attention and get fame and publicity out of such unusual things in which he prefer wearing unexpected weird types of clothes. And also I have seen an actress Urfi Javed who wear unusual clothing using edible items and metal plates and all the different kind of stuff which is very weird to see and I think this is not good to see such type of weird clothing of people from Bollywood actors and actresses. They think this is cool but this is not cool at all.

    The person that I think wears weird clothes, I would say, is Lady Gaga, the singer. I know her from her songs and the movie A Star is Born. I remember the first time I saw her, she was wearing... I mean, I saw her on TV. She was wearing meat, raw meat on her body, in a form of a dress, which I do understand the concepts behind this. She wants to stand out. So I think that she has a different way of portraying herself. She wants to seem eccentric. She wants to make a statement. And she wants people to remember her. So I think that this is the reason why she has such a taste, which is not the usual, not the norm in clothes. After I read her stories, I read her interviews, I realized that she has a lot to say. She had a traumatic childhood. And I think she brings a lot of emotional baggage. So even the way that she wants to present herself to people might be standing for something. So when I looked at her after reading her interviews and listening to her on TV, reading articles about her, I realized that...

    One person whom I think is, one person whom I think who wears unusual clothes is my friend. I know her since we were really young, like when I was in kindergarten. We have known each other since then. I do like her dressing sense, however, sometimes I feel like her dressing sense is quite unusual and weird. The reason being, she wears a lot of baggy clothes, which I understand isn't trend now. However, I personally think that it's just not showcase the true figure or personality of any person. I may be very, I might sound very judgmental over here. However, these are my thoughts because I think she is very beautiful and she has a lot of things in her to show. And I have asked her and she has tried some normal clothes like we wear these days and not a baggy one. And she was looking very, very beautiful. That is the reason I consider her that she wears, her sense of wearing or styling or fashion is quite unusual or weird. Because she herself doesn't understand what dresses looks good on her. So she's the one who might think wear very weird clothes. And I have also suggested her to look on to this thing and so that she can change a bit of her dressing sense. Definitely, it is her choice to wear what kind of dresses she wants to wear. However, I personally believe that dresses are something which enhances our beauty.

    In my circle, my brother always used to wear weird clothes, so I often find it very weird and very surprising because for almost all the functions, he wears the same old clothes. I believe that the dress attire is something that needs to be for their own selves and to impress others and it also speaks about the comfort level as well as like what their character is. So it is very important to dress properly and as it signifies the comfort level and

    So personally, what I have seen, the person that I, I won't say I admire, but the person, it's a celebrity, Ranveer Singh, a Bollywood celebrity, despite having a huge fan base for his acting, I personally find, find how unusually he dresses up, it's just how bold he gets while dressing up, which personally, I find that boldness to be quite unusual because a lot of things don't match or complement each other. Once in an interview, I saw him wearing a shirt with a long skirt, which is quite unusual for a Bollywood celebrity like him to wear. I would find pairing up a pant or a denim would be more appropriate to dress up, so that's one incident that I remember. So it could be a bit controversial because some may find this boldness to be fashionable, but it's a thin line because this fashion, I don't understand and I do find it weird to complement such pairs together because I don't personally like how it looks on him. Again, it can be a personal choice, everybody has their own taste.

    So, I have that one type of example, like my roommate, we share the same room, she sleeps next to me, so I know how, which type of clothes she wears, so she wears very colourful, dark colour clothes, like red pant and yellow shirts, and very tight for her body, like sleeves are very tight, so it has very, so on her hand, where sleeves are, there are some races on her body, so yeah, that type of tight clothes she wears.

    The person who dresses up weirdly, I think that is my cousin, Apiksha. She resides in Nagpur and I think she wears a different way of clothing, that's what her style is, but I think I'm not comfortable enough to wear such clothes. I think that's why I have this assumption, I believe, that she wears it differently. Although it suits her in those type of clothing, but I did not feel like wearing such kind of clothing. She's quite confident enough in whatever attire she wears in that and she wears it with beautiful smile, which looks amazing on her though and I think...

    I think the person who wears unusual cloths is Urfi Zawad. She is an Instagram influencer. I came across her while I'm scrolling Instagram. She has such a worse fashion sense. She always wears such a weird clothing. The type of cloth she uses for her outfit also doesn't look good. I think she doesn't even follow the color theory which makes the outfit look a bit awkward. She has such a weird fashion sense. She always matches the India outfit look with some western kind jewelry which makes the outfit look more awful. Maybe my fashion sense and her fashion sense would be different but still I think her fashion sense is awful.

    Band 6

    A person I know who wears unusual clothes. She was one of my classmates when I used to study in my B.Tech final year. She wore the clothes which are not meant to be worn together. She wore black colored jeans with a black colored top which is to the knee length. And I don't think she knows that her fashion sense or her dressing sense is weird. Because if she knows that her dressing sense is weird, she will practice or she will try to change it. But she never tried to change her dressing sense. She wore very majestic clothes. She used to wear very poor color combinations and also her hairstyle. She used to do three partitions of her hair and then used to do three ponytails which will just look like a horse tail, I think.
