    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.

    When it comes to fashion, I am the most iconic one. No doubts in that. And my favorite piece of clothing that I would wear is Korean fashion like using cardigans and baggy pants. It's kind of street style fashion and punk fashion but seriously I love it. And what is fashion? When you ask that question to me, of course fashion is not a thing that you search for it. It will come in you, from you. It's within you. When I speak about fashion, I mostly wear not only street style fashion, I also try avant-garde fashion. Because I like experimenting things that would result good and I love it. I mostly follow Milan's fashion and London's fashion and New York's fashion. No other doubts. Period.

    The piece of clothing I wear most frequently is my traditional attire, especially during cultural or family occasions. For me this often means wearing a saree or sometimes a salwari kameez, both of which is very popular in my culture. My favorite saree is made of silk and usually in shade of deep red or royal blue. The saree has beautiful golden embroidery along the edges, making it perfect for more formal events like weddings or festivals. What I love about wearing a saree is how it brings a sense of dignity and grace to any occasion, and it always makes me feel very special when I put it on. I usually pair the saree with matching blouse and some traditional jewelry like necklace and jhumkas. It's a traditional earring, which really completes the look. For casual family gatherings or more relaxed sittings, I prefer salwari kameez, which is comfortable and still gives a sense of tradition. The fabric is usually cotton or chiffon, which is soft and breathable. Especially during warmer weather, the salwari kameez is available in various styles. Some are plain and simple, while others are embroidery and colorful. What makes it easy to wear is practically yet still retain the traditional charms of culture. I wear traditional clothing often because it makes me feel connected to my heritage, a reflection of who I am, and each piece holds a sense of tradition that has been passed through generations. Whether it's for a religious ceremony or a wedding or eventually a family event, wearing traditional wear allows me to celebrate my culture and feel proud of it.

    I am an Indian and I like to wear the kurta very much. Earlier, when I was a small kid, my mama tells me that she got for me a kurta to wear for the Republic Day. I was very choosy. I did not want to wear it. Consequently, I ran away from house so that I would not wear it and she had to even hide the kurta so that I may no longer cry. But as the years went forward, as the years passed, I started liking the kurta very much and I began wearing it on special occasions like Republic Day, Independence Day and also for inter-religious meets. Currently, I enjoy wearing this clothing for many occasions even when I go to give a class or I go for some function. Kurtas are very handy. They look formal yet if you wear them on jeans, they seem informal. But nowadays as it's very hot and the temperatures are rising, wearing kurtas especially the synthetic ones becomes troublesome. Nevertheless, I continue wearing them and I prefer the cotton kurtas. In the future, I would love to continue wearing these kurtas especially on a daily basis. Likewise, investing more in cotton kurtas which will help me to stand out and at the same time
