    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 my best friend Neha. I met her from college and it was in 2020. She was my roommate also. So I only see her attire each and every day. So the very first time I saw her was on a college festival day. She was wearing a trouser styled with a Benarazi kurta. So it was a very weird combination. So at that moment itself I stared at her for too long and I felt like, Oh God, why is this girl wearing this dress without a combination? It looks so bad and awful. I felt awkward at that time. And even though we were not friends, I just went and talked to her and because I just wanted to get in touch with her and mingle with her. We both talked for a long time and we felt that connection. Then I came to know that she was my roommate. So we went there and talked for a lot of time. Then I asked her, why are you wearing these kind of clothes? At that time she said she always wanted to be different. She'll style basics with aesthetics, aesthetics with the traditional ones, traditional with the pop culture. So she always wanted to try the varieties, the patterns, the changing modular fashions. She always wanted to go behind the stuff that attracts people. She always needed that attention. So she went behind unusual clothes and she even stitched

    Band 6-7

    okay the girl back in my ninth grade there was this girl named Amaya and she was always made fun of for wearing unusual combination of clothes but on contrary if you ask me I always found it amusing and even inspiring because despite of all the hateful comments thrown her way I think she's been very strong in handling all the obstacles and even though it was tiring to hear all the comments by me I guess she has handled it pretty well and has still never changed her style for anyone in the class it was always her her choices because she doesn't think that others have a say in her life according to her fashion was always something that we feel comfortable we should wear clothes we feel comfortable in and that was her motto I believe she wore weird combinations like red with red white with white it was almost the similar colors like for example even blue with light blue or yellow with light yellow even though many people suggested her to wear a good different combination she always insisted on wearing the same old combination she wore to school every day I mostly never found it weird because she is doing what she loves and many people in today's world are incapable of it

    Band 6-7

    Okay, one such person I can think of is the and comes to my mind as celebrity of a Bollywood that is Ranveer Singh as his clothes are always very vibrant and I know him I mean he is a celebrity which I do follow on Instagram and I do keep up with his clothing trends as it gives a whole different vibe mostly his clothes are always in a vibrant color such as red, orange, green and he as far as I've seen he always goes or I believe he prefers the bell-bottom pants which are kind of out of style in this time and I don't find his clothing to be weird if I can say but it is somewhat outstanding and it keeps him separate from the crowd which usually follows the same clothing trend and he has a passion towards his own clothing, his own I can say comfortableness in the choice of clothes he is he made for himself. So yeah his vibrant colors you color usages in the clothings is one particular eye-catching trait that I can tell that he has a different clothing style and he has a different clothing preferences attire preferences so it really is an eye-catching view.

    The person who I think wears unusual clothes is a friend of mine. Her name is Aditi. I met her when I was doing my graduation. Earlier she used to dress up pretty casually, most likely like a girl next door. But in the third year she joined a fashion institute and she learned a lot from there. So after that she involved in a lot of activities that incorporated a lot of dressing up. She came to the understanding of knowing different trends that were going. Moreover, I like the attitude of her that she feels that she needs to dress up differently. She doesn't like to be or having fashion choices which are similar to what everybody else is doing. Whenever we are shopping she tries to pick up clothes that most of the other humans would just not look at. But it's different and kind of weird at the same time because I would never even think about wearing all the clothes she ends up wearing. She just would end up wearing a super huge extra large baggy top with skinny jeans which might look like a 2000s fashion. But she just pulls it off kind of like me, accessorizing it with bells and chains. I don't know what all the accessories she just pulls off. It's her style and it's quite unique. You won't find a girl like her walking down the streets too often.

    I have a friend named Tina who is a friend of mine from college. I find her clothes extremely funky and weird because she wears this very baggy type jeans and tight-fitted top which makes her look really bad. Like that's not personally my choice. My choice is something more elegant, something more decent. So I feel that what her looks are is unusual or weird for me. Yeah

    Band 6-7

    I have a lot of friends wearing unusual cloths but today I would like to say about the most close friend unable to wearing unusual cloths. Her name is Jeansy. She is a fashion designer working as a manager at one of the famous textiles in Kochi. Always she is wearing different kind of material and different kind of fashions. Not like jeans or tops as everybody wearing. It looks like very pretty and not that much costly.

    after completing my schooling I decided to join a college so over there I made some new friends and one of my friends was Northeastern and her dressing was quite unusual because she was wearing something different which normal people wouldn't wear like like a saree it was close to saree I still don't know what it actually is called but it is very similar to saree it's like a piece of cloth which is rubbed around the entire body and at the first time I saw it was quite fascinating because it was it had different different colors that are blue red white and it's like it's a it's a national dress of the people who are from Manipur so I liked the way she looked and if you talk about the weirdness she her dress was quite appropriate it wasn't weird but it's just that whenever someone wears something unusual then a lot of people stare at them so a lot of people were staring at her at that time

    Band 6-7

    I know a lot of people who wears unusual clothes but I would like to talk about my friend Abhijeet. He is a childhood friend of mine and he was really great when we were kids. He had a good sense of humor, his mother dressed him well, his father bought him many good looking clothes. But now as we are now completely adults and independent, I don't like his sense of clothing because first of all he has a very dark complexion and not every clothes suits on him. Yet he wears whatever is good looking. He don't see the other people is white or black. He just sees that this thing is looking good on him and just wear whatever he likes. I know that this is not a good thing to do because me myself am white not completely but not even dark, not even brown. I am in a complexion of white. I wear something that suits me. I don't wear anything that is comfortable or is good looking to some other people. Because I know that this thing will not be looking just as good as on him. Because I am different, he is different. His height is different and my color is different. Everything is different between him and I. But this thing my friend Abhijeet don't understand. And I have told him many times that why don't you dress up like a proper human being. Why you wear such fancy clothes that don't even suits you. He said oh this are just fashion you will not understand. And these things are told by many of his colleagues as well not only me. Even his family says this thing to him that don't wear such bad things. But he don't listens.

    Band 6-7

    Kiran, he is a friend of mine. I know him since my college. He is a person who is a freak and also a person who loves or is attracted to weird kind of dresses. Which is kind of the color combination what he wears or the style or the place. We have a certain set of cloths for the certain events. But he wears in a different way where it is not suitable for the event or function which we are gonna attend. He will be odd one out wherever he goes and whatever he wears. His choice of dress collection would be so different from a normal person. It would be a freaky kind of thing or a clumsy or a different perspective he sees. Also, the selection he makes is way too different and which clearly says he is not a human being anymore. Also, he is a very different person in life too but also a serious kind of person.

    Band 6-7

    The one person who wears weird cloths is Urfi. She is a Bollywood influencer and a celebrity from Bollywood. She had done many reality shows. One is Traitors and I think she won in that. Another one, she came as a guest in the Splitsvilla where she used to wear a weird dresses. Her dresses were made of plastic bags sometimes or she used to make her outfit from pins, sometimes yarns, dump yarns, some metallic things and also she includes some mechanical things. Recently I watched her outfit where she used to give her rolling bill like we will get in a payment, right, like that. That was so weird and she will make herself so weird. Yes, actually I don't like that kind of your clothing but she is unique and she makes some outfits for the others. She promotes her outfits. Yes, that's it.
