    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 name of that place is Pundar Sahib. This is situated in the northern part of Punjab. Well, during my school days and college years, I have visited a lot of town and city sites in my life. Most of them are metropolitan cities of India and apart from that, I have also gone through several kinds of lakes and tourism places except Baba Pundar Sahib. This is the place that I really want to visit and I think that I will visit this place next year. Why I think that to visit because this is quite interesting for me. Actually, Baba Pundar Sahib is located in the Pundar village. This is the older village of my ancestors because they were living over there and after that they sold that property and they came to my this hometown named as Chasar. So I really want to visit that because I want to know where my ancestors were living. Apart from that, there is also a Gurdwara Sahib named as Baba Pundar Sahib to explore it more. Actually, the Gurdwara Sahib is located near to the town named as Pundar Gram and I really want to visit because whenever I feel any hard thing in my life or I feel the really online cloud, that time I feel that I am really close to Baba Pundar Sahib and this is the one thing that whenever I feel harsh or any difficulty condition, I thought that He is with me and I also want to visit on His place.
