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.

I follow a lot of people on the social media like it can be Hollywood actors or Bollywood actors and apart from that more of cricketers because I used to watch a lot of cricket in my childhood. But one of the celebrity today I am going to talk about is the Virat Kohli who is one of the best right hand batsmen in our country. He started his career in the year 2008 and he was vice captain of our under 19 team. He helped us to achieve the world cup trophy for us. Apart from that he has been a lot of things he has gone through like when he was playing his domestic season his father passed away but he was dedicated towards his work and after his dad funeral he attended a match which was very crucial for him so that he could get some respect and recognition in this career. Apart from that he has faced a lot of challenges like in 2014 he was not able to score good runs in his series and was being trolled very badly by the audience moreover he was not being recognized really well but in 2015 he had a great comeback he was being appointed as a test captain when Dhoni retired from the test cricket and he scored approximately around 3-400 and was very well enthusiast towards his work. Apart from that recently he has been contributed us in the T20 world cup that was held in the America last year and he was the man of the series and man of the match too. Moreover I think he is one of the greatest player he is a really good human being and his work ethics are really good he is dedicated towards his work and play cricket as much as he can. Apart from that he is married to one of the beautiful actress Anushka Sharma. He have two sons and one daughter Amika, Anaya and Krushia. Apart from that I think we should definitely respect his privacy because he sometimes don't love the audience's response.

I'd like to speak about my YouTuber Samiha Mariam. She has a channel called Fry Sweet Potato. It's a YouTube channel that has contents of mostly like interviews of celebrity people and any other actors. So, I recently saw her from Instagram, a social platform where she put on some good contents. And after knowing about her content, I really liked that the way she conducts the interviews. It's more or less than an interview. It's really a conversation about their lives and their personal opinions about the life and other well-being of themselves. It's a way of being able to more identify the person and where it goes upon the view of the person differently. You can have a different aspect of that person. And especially, I like the way she conducts, she takes on to that interview. It will be like a conversation between friends, like when we have a coffee shop. Like that, the conversation will be. I like that, so I tend to follow her. In the last couple of months, she won many awards for being the good content of the year.
