    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 generally prefer wearing clothes according to the occasion but the most oftenly chosen clothing would be salwar kameez. I like wearing different styles in salwar kameez, different fabrics so I usually like the modesty in wearing salwar kameez. It's light, airy, breathable in the hot summers in India. To not make it monotonous and to not make it look like I wear the same thing every day, I try to change the fabric a bit or maybe change the colors, change the styles. For example, someday I will wear kurta and salwar, next day I will wear a frock and slacks. So I do that. I also like to accessorize to really boost the look together, to really enhance the look. So that really adds up. I wear a matching dupatta with it, matching heels and I usually pair it with a nice bag. When I'm going out, I usually prefer to carry a bag which matches either my jewelry, my dupatta or my clothes.

    One piece of clothing I wear most often is a navy blue hoodie that I have owned for a couple of years. It's simple in design, made of soft cotton, and has a front pocket and a zipper that goes all the way up. There's nothing flashy about it, but that's exactly what makes it so versatile. I usually wear it during cooler months, especially when I'm running, going for a walk, or even working from home. It pairs well with almost anything, jeans, sweatpants, or even shorts, and it gives me a feeling of comfort and familiarity. What I love most about it is not just how comfortable it is, but also the memories attached to it. I bought it during a trip to Seoul, Korea, and every time I wear it, it reminds me of that experience, the food, the people, the vibe of the city over time. It has become my go-to outfit for casual situations, and honestly, I feel most like myself when I wear it. I think I wear it so often because it strikes the perfect balance between comfort and practicality. Plus, it has sentimental value, which makes it more than just a piece of clothing. It feels like a part of me.

    Well, I have many clothes, but one of my favorite clothing is a dress, a long skirt dress, which was gifted to me by my maternal grandmother. It is quite light in color with a self-print. The material is quite flowy and breezy. I am very fond of it, first of all because it is a gift by my grandmother, she is no more right now, and I always cherish the love she gave to me through this dress. The second thing I like this dress is because the fabric of the dress is so flowy and so comfortable and soft that I feel very light, I feel very calm inside. The color is also very soothing and I feel that I definitely have got a lot many compliments from people regarding my dress. It also, the best part is, this dress has a material which can be worn both in summers and the winters, so there is no problem that I can't wear this dress during few months, I can wear it through whole year. This reminds me of my grandmother and I would always like that I give this dress to my daughter even so that she can also cherish the same. The stuff is same as it was before, after so many washes also, it was not worn out. So I do wear this dress with so much of enthusiasm and the best part is, you need not iron it every time, just wash it.

    The dress or the piece of clothing which I wear most often is Saree, because Saree is the South Indian kind of dress which carries traditions with it, so I prefer wearing Saree on special occasions, usually we will get many special occasions and festivals throughout the year, so I prefer wearing Saree on those special occasions which make me very happy, and the point of wearing Saree often is because it can be easily accessorized with different items, and it is a type of clothing which has a long cloth and we can pair it with a blouse, it can be carried with more elegance and it conveys the culture kind of thing and it can be complimenting for a girl and if we accessorize with flowers and all it will be more pretty looking.

    so I'll be talking about the clothes which I wear the most so basically it's a Real Madrid jersey it's one of my favorite football club I have been following this club since last 20 years and I enjoy wearing the jersey almost every day because I play a lot of tough games and when I'm playing those games I tend to wear this jersey because it makes me feel confident about my game also it's dry feet and compressed so that keeps me away from the sweat and the compression helps my body to stay fit during the game and apart from it I am also very proud of wearing this jersey because of the rich history and heritage of the club which I follow the only drawback of the jersey is that it's white in color so it gets stained very easily but I still prefer to wear it because I love it and apart from it it's also very comfortable to wear and the material is skin friendly so I enjoy wearing it even in the summers and the material keeps me warm in the winters as well so I can use it in all the season and as I mentioned earlier it's a dry feet jersey so I can use it in the monsoons as well

    Most often I wear kurtas because I believe that kurtas will make me more confident and happy. I will buy these kurtas from a nearby fashion store in which I always get these on discounted price. Coming to kurtas, I wear three types of kurtas which are short kurtas, tunics and the long kurtas. In short kurtas mostly I prefer bell bottoms and in tunics I prefer three-fourth hands with round neck. And in long kurtas I prefer full hands because I am always worried about the sun tan when I wear a sleeveless. So I always prefer a full sleeve kurta. I feel very confident in kurta and during my bachelors for the whole four years I used to wear kurtas. In addition to this I paired it up with jeans or formal pants. I used to wear kurtas for the college because I felt that it is a formal way to go to the college and even I am more comfortable in that dress. Moreover wearing kurtas is also mythologically better thing for Hindus. So I didn't regret to wear kurtas everyday to college. Even my friends used to wear jeans and t-shirts. Furthermore I love the way the kurtas are being printed these days on the plain different colors with the small designs of patterns. So yeah I love wearing kurtas the most.

    I think the piece of clothing that I absolutely adore would definitely, hands down, be the jeans. Jeans are my most loved pair of clothing because of how easy and versatile it is. It can literally be paired with anything and everything. Namely, if it's tops or if it's kurtas, Indian wear or western wear, anything, it just goes with everything. And I will say that it is the most essential piece of clothing that everyone should own because you really don't need to put a thought on it. If you don't have time every day to settle down and organize your closet, and when you're going to work and you need to jot down things early and you need to leave early, you can just think no more and use and wear the jeans and just go ahead with your day. It is that easy. Another thing, my most favorite jeans would definitely be the classic and the most amazing jeans. That is the blue jeans. I have a thousand types of blue jeans. I love it that much. And I suggest everyone should own a good fitted blue jeans in their closet.

    According to me, a piece of clothing that I would like to wear every day is a pair of jeans and a blue linen cotton shirt. As I already said, the color of the shirt is blue. It has white stripes on it. It is made out of linen. Since it's summer season these days, I like to wear something airy and not something that is very tight on my body, making it sweat and make me feel suffocated. So that is my go-to shirt. It keeps me cool. While for the bottoms, I prefer a straight cut denim jeans. It's the easiest thing that I can find in my wardrobe. It goes well with my shirt and keeps me comfortable throughout the day. I pair these two with a sport shoes, which makes it easy for me to walk around for long hours. I wear it. I wear the same set of clothes once every week. Believe me, if I get a chance, I can wear it every day, but since I have to go to my office every day, it wouldn't be right for me to be wearing the same clothes every day. So I try not to repeat it more than once a week.

    Band 6-7

    My favorite piece of clothing is my apron. It is the white cloth. I wear it every time I am on my job and when I am on my duty. It is a white colored coat which has pockets and I keep my belongings in the pocket and I also keep my stethoscope in the pocket or else I put it on around my neck. And I like it the most because it is related to my educational qualification. It reminds me of how hard I worked and how I have achieved it. It might be a piece of cloth for others but it is an emotion for me because so many memories and hard work and tears of joy and happiness everything is related to it.
