    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.

    So, one of the quiet place that I can remember of where I used to go to frequently back in time is Gomadgiri. It is a temple which is situated on Haley area and also it is located just nearby the airport. So, whenever you visit there, you can see planes hovering just over your head and there are so many frequent flights landing and taking off. So, relaxing over there is a very peaceful thing. I usually used to go there when I was a little stressed or I want to just relieve my mood. I went there with my friends and my family. It is also a picnic spot with a temple nearby. So, first you can worship the god and offer flowers and sweets and then you can enjoy your home cooked meal which you have prepared. There is a very large garden which is very peaceful and is surrounded by flowers. So, it gives very homely and cozy feeling to visit over there. There were also so many swings and slides for kids. So, our children and our family love that over there. Lastly, I would like to say that I don't really get to visit much over there because it is very far from my home but earlier days, I used to go there a lot and find the peace within myself.

    I would like to go to a place where, you know, there's no political drama, no people shouting over each other, there will be no sound of cars honking or any traffic or any other disturbance, construction work disturbance or any other thing. The reason I want to go to some place like this is I always have loved and will love nature. I say I am a sea person who likes to just go into, go to a beach and would never come out. Whenever I go with my family to any of the place where you can get a beach or you can get some trekking work or some forest, that's the best adventure I get whenever I visit somewhere with my family. When would I like to go to such place? Anytime when I am free or any weekend. Firstly, the 9 to 5 thing has gotten in my head. I am just fed up of this, so anytime I get something to free up my mind, you know, something quiet, something refreshing, I would just like to grab it and just never leave it. Also, when I get to such places, I always think how would life be if I stay forever at such place, if I can do something with my life living in this place and not getting back to the rumble and all the ruckus in the city. That's all, that's all for this time and that's the reason I want to go to places like this.

So every time we get some free time, we try to go there and spend more time with nature because you live in the urban area, it's always, you know, hustle and bustle of the city. But whenever we go back, we realize, you know, how important it is to be connected with the nature. Whenever we go there, we try to indulge, you know, in the various activities of rural life like, like going to a farm, picking some radishes or carrots, like fresh produces basically. Then coming back and you know, we also try to make our own food sometimes. Even just simple joy, we go there, we play, we play some very random games. We go for cycling, we go for a walk, we go on, you know, different farms. And all of those simple things just makes us feel how important it is to, you know, be connected with nature.
