    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.

    A year ago I embarked a journey in a place called Coorg and Coorg is a hill station in Karnataka and it is mostly surrounded by greenery. Now that is a place which is very famous for its coffee beans and chocolates because most of the chocolate are grown there and coffee beans are really freshly grown and produced there. The only reason I want to go there is because I love coffee and I love drinking coffee and I would really love to see that fruit in its natural habitat. The activities I would go I would love to do is hiking mountains, climbing trees and plucking coffee berries and its fruits and just enjoying the nature in general and trying to soak in that beauty and serene environment which you don't find it in city life these days. Nature just makes me feel calm and it just makes my stress disappear away and I just feel floating when I am just amongst nature.

There were a lot, a lot of trees in the forest and we decided to plant a little more. I know 200 is a lot if you see like this, but the number of trees there were comparatively 200 was a less number. So we decided to plant trees there. There were a lot of trees. We saw jamun trees, mango trees and it was the season before rainy season. So we could see a lot of mangoes. A lot of mangoes were ripening and falling from the tree. It was a lovely experience and I would love to go there again and sit in the, and sit in the shade of the tree and just listen to music there. I love greenery places.

    I am very fond of nature and possess a strange love for greenery. I also went for college which is located in between the mountains as I was overwhelmed with the beauty of the mountains. One particular place I would like to visit in future is Jim Corbett National Park. It's located in the northern state of Uttarakhand. I have heard many popular stories there like how it offers an amazing jungle safari with great views of the forest. I went nearby it for a wedding but I did not have the opportunity to visit the safari and other interesting activities that the place offers. I have heard about its serene beauty and the variety of trees and animals and various species of wild flowers it possesses. In my opinion it would really make me feel amazing when I go there.

    My favorite place where there are a lot of trees would be trekking to a mountain and I have been to a lot of treks and I am very interested in nature and the peace it brings so I have visited a trek, a mountain called Harishchandragad and I would suggest you to go there. It's in Mumbai and Maharashtra and you will love that, there are a lot of activities firstly the trekking, it helps to flush the intoxicant things out of your body and you are so energized when you sweat and just feel the nature from within. It is also refreshing, the air is so pure and the company matters a lot during this time if it's your beginner level I feel there should be people who you can trust because trekking might be hard and activities like stargazing, camping, singing with friends, having a good time, learning about nature and having simpler foods, watching great sunset from a height, going for a rock climbing during sunrise, adoring and being thankful for nature and that you can experience something like that is what you want to do while you see a lot of trees and greenery around you because greenery soothes your eyes and soul and not just that it literally detoxifies your self from within so that's what I feel and I think you should go there.

    Firstly, the place I love to visit is situated in the north of India, that is, Uttarakhand. This place is a hilly area and I love this place because it's my hometown, from my maternal side and I love going there because there are so many activities to do there and by living there, I realized that people still have that authenticity to greet the tourists and their homely people too. When I went there, I did the activities like paragliding, hiking, camping and when I was camping there on the mountain, what I could feel was the peaceful sight of the mountains. Something was there that made me feel more calmness and more expressive towards the nature. The whole travel was very therapeutic for me and I will really suggest to my generation people to go out and travel to the mountainside, be energetic and always try to do your best in travelling.
