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.

The person I follow on every social media platform is Stel. He is a well-known YouTube vlogger for specializing in motorcycles, knowledge, reviews, everything, every aspect you need to know about a motorcycle. He is not a guy who reveals his face or reveals everything about him. His channel is all about motorcycles or sometimes about travel diaries with his bike. Whenever I need to know about a new bike, I just go to his channel and I can see his 30 minutes or 45 minutes reviews which would describe all its pros and cons. So that makes us also a little bit knowledge about that particular bike. When someone asks about that, we can simply explain that this bike comes with this stuff and it has these negatives. So that will be good for me too. And whenever I go to his YouTube channel, so it will be basically about reviews or travels. But when we go to his Instagram platform, it will be more related to his channel's perspective like opinions and posters, his recent rides and making more posts about the things happening on the automotive industries. So it's very interesting. And why I follow is I already mentioned that I like to know about motorcycles and I have been planning to buy a bike. So I am much interested on motorcycles.

Well, I follow a lot of celebrities, cricketers, and businessmen on my Instagram, but I would like to talk about Sir Ratan Tata. He is one of the successful and kind-hearted businessmen, and he's... I got to know about him when I was in fifth class, and my dad brought a car of Tata company. I started researching about him, like, who's the owner of the company, and it turned out to be Sir Ratan Tata. I found many Wikipedias and articles related to him, and my interest developed over his business and lifestyle, so I started following him on Instagram. He posts content related to business and start-up ideas, and those are really very helpful and practical ideas. A start-up entrepreneur can follow his idea to be a success. And one more thing is, he's a big animal lover. He runs many vets and many free hospitals for humans at free, of course. And he donates his 60-70% of income in charity. And he never does business for his personal profit. For instance, he introduced a car named Tata Nano, which was very affordable for a middle-class family. He introduced this car because after this car, middle-class have to balance his family on two legs on motorcycle. And he passed away this year, and that day we felt like India really lost a gem.
