    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.

    Well, I have known several people who has very unique taste while wearing several clothes. And here I would like to talk about one of those people whom I know to be unusual in their clothes. And the name of this person is Ranbir Singh. And he is quite renowned in India as he is quite famous Indian actor and a famous podcaster. And I think the way of his wearing clothes is quite unique as he wears a mixture of traditional and western culture. And he is quite unique as I have seen no one in my whole life who wears the type of clothes he wears. And I think he has launched some of his brands who are of his own taste. Like I have seen him wearing dhoti with a core pant which I think is quite different from what some people whom I know are wearing. And this person is also very entertaining as most of his films are related to the entertainment and also on the acting career in his own acting career. He has given some of the recommended films such as Gabbar and Kabir Singh where he is quite funny as well as sometime he is quite moody in his movies. And I think he is the only person whom I think that he will be the one who will be carrying the Bollywood of today's era. And I think he has been launching some of his fashions in upcoming years. And he is the only person whom I admire the most because of his taste in clothes. And I think he is also the type of person who doesn't care about the other people's judgement as he wearing the clothes.

    A person is known by his clothing choices, especially for the actors or the celebrities. They are known for their style as they are in the public eye. However, the person I find with the most unusual clothing choice is the actor Ranveer Singh. I find his choice unusual because his clothing, his fashion choice is not gender biased. He sometimes wears skirts and other feminine clothes as well. In the masculine clothes he wears, in those attire also, he chooses to wear bright colors such as pink, green, yellow, silver, etc. Coupled with his unusual clothing choice, he is always high on energy which makes his clothes very distinctive. The anecdote I remember is that the famous actor Ranveer Singh is known for his unusual clothing choices.

    And a person who I know who wears unusual clothes, it's my sister. She's a physiotherapist. She's 26 years old, even a few years older than me. I've known her since my childhood. In my family, she's famous and popular to wear unusual clothes because no one knows to wear some casual and unusual clothes. One time when we were going to attend a wedding, she wore some classic saree, light yellow colour saree with leather belt and wore goggles. And in the party, she wore a denim jacket with white shoes and she looked so pretty. I think she's very fashionable in my house, in my view. Even when I choose my clothes, I always decide and ask my sister what I can choose. Even my cousins in my family also, they ask my sister. She loves fashion. She always tries something new to wear. She always thinks about new clothes and designs. Sometimes she designs some clothes for designers. She loves to wear some different types of clothes. So, that's it.

    The person who wears unusual clothes is my friend Phoebe. She wears really unusual clothes. And she is my school friend. One day I asked her, why are you wearing this kind of clothes? And she replied to me that a person who wears clothes is reflecting the inner self of them. So whenever someone wears something, they wear according to their comfort, not to satisfy the society's expectation. I think she is correct. Whenever a person wears a cloth, they must wear clothes according to their likeness, not according to the society's likeness. And we must be comfortable in what we wear.

    I've seen a boy named Adarsh who wore a cloth that was really unusual because in our place people often wear dresses like more traditional but he wears something more vintage like old look but it's quite good but in this society we can't understand or we can't accept the way of dressing because of the social standard so we often think about it how can we talk to him about this because people are inspiring from him so we go to him and asked him why are you wearing dresses like this and he says this is my parents his grandparents dress he loves them so it's a confidence and emotional touch for him so I think that's a good thing because it's it make him so much confident and feeling of their grandparents are there with him so we don't we didn't say anything to him and we support him so we let them do whatever they want the thing is he didn't harm anyone right so we all support him he can do whatever he want the choice of dress is a personal choice it's for them this is for them to decide whatever they want to wear we have no right to say you have to put this

    So, one of my friends, her name is Jia, she wears very unusual clothes and I know her from school. She's a classmate, we are of the same age and we became friends really quickly. But I do question her fashion choices. She likes to wear and experiment with clothes, like she would wear a top with jeans, but then she would wear a skirt on top of that jeans, so that makes me question. The purpose of wearing the jeans is totally gone when she puts on a skirt on top of that. I'm like, what is that, right? So, I feel like her fashion choices are really questionable. Then she would just wear this funky eye-catching thing in the most of the modest places, like that really amazes me. She likes to experiment and maybe she'll find her style one day, right? And I hope I would be there to see it. So, I guess I can learn something from her if she is ready to teach me how to style clothes.

    Band 6-7

    A person who wears unusual clothes is a classmate of mine. She usually wears churidar, but I know her because she is my classmate and it is weird because she can wear different clothes like she can do a different style, variety of styles. It will suit her body so much but she only wears churidar. I think that wearing churidar makes her a bit dull and it is not her style. If she dresses more fashionably, it will help her to improve her confidence but still she uses the churidar and it is not attractive at all and it is quite weird that the churidar doesn't fit her well. So, she can just alter it or just don't use the dupatta or like she can make changes and do fashion in it but she doesn't do that.

    Band 6-7

    The one who wears unusual cloths must be a fashionist or want to become a fashionist or an influencer someday. She must have a loving relation with cloths. She must be someone who loves to wear dresses based on their style. She loves unusual cloths because she thinks that it makes her different from other people. She loves attention. She must want to work with things like this in future. He or she may be someone who wants to work for the betterment of cloths, decorative items for girls, accessories, etc.

    So it dates back to the time when I stayed in a government apartment along with my family. On the first floor, my dad's colleagues lived, whose wife was a fashion designer. She also taught in some institute about the fashion technology. The clothes worn by her was always different than the usual clothes worn by all other people around. She wore something that was visually appealing and always unique in its kind. It may sound, the clothes, her apparels may be found unusual to certain people, but I found it appealing as well as interesting. Because it was not something worn by all easily, so people may have found it to be unusual. However, it may have been some great chances.

    Band 6-7

    Well, in my opinion, the person I think is wearing very unusual or very weird clothes is my friend. His name is Kartik and he is my roommate. I met him when I was in my childhood in my school. He is a very modern traditional person who loves enjoying different cultures and different societies. So he usually spends a lot of time going to different states or different countries to spend a lot of time on social networks. Moreover, he usually wears clothes that do not match in our local area. Like he wears very bright and tight jeans and his shoes are very big in size that look unfamiliar to his personality. But he kept going and usually wears this. He thought he looked very pretty and he really fascinated about modern culture. So that's why he loves to wear that clothes. And he is also a very rich and luxurious person. So he also watches from social media. So that's why I feel he is so weird because he is in our local culture. People wear convenient, local, normal clothes.
