    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.

    My father once went to Sundarbans. It is very near our state. When I was a child, I wanted to visit Sundarbans along with my father. But since he went there with his work colleagues, he denied me and told me that I can go there when I grow up. However, I still did not get the time to make a trip to Sundarbans. So, it is a very special childhood memory of mine when he brought along some souvenirs from there for me and that was the moment I decided that those souvenirs hold a lot of sentimental feelings to me and I still have kept them along with me. They are very near and dear to my heart. I had decided in that moment that I would once visit it when I grow up. Since the trip is long overdue, I would love to go there, visit the national park, relish my childhood dream, take lots of pictures with the animals and the local habitat of that place. It would definitely stir a nostalgic memory. Although I have never visited there, I have always dreamed to be there and I would definitely try to take my father along with me in this trip so that I can overcome the sadness I had during that time when I was a child.

    Only thing that, one place with a lot of trees that I would love to visit is Tagir forest in Gujarat. I had visited that forest when I was a little kid. I do not remember much about my experience but I could recollect feeling very very surreal because I was very little. I could not make a lot of memories however I remember having a wonderful experience. That is what motivates me to visit the place once again. Another thing that motivates me is that I have heard a lot of people visiting the forest and having a surreal experience.
