One day after break, I was standing and talking there with one of my friends and another friend of mine was running through the hallway and accidentally she pushed my shoulder and my pencil box hit the ground and it broke into multiple pieces to the point that it was not functional anymore.

    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.

    I would like to visit Iceland, situated in the north of the Europe continent. It is a very peaceful and a very secluded space. The mainstream population always wants to explore countries like France, Italy, Spain. But countries like Iceland or Greenland are very isolated and offbeat places. Personally, I have always been fond to explore the lifestyle of people and knowing the fact that during winters and summers, we can experience daylight, even at 11pm at night, it has always been fascinating to me. So I would like to visit Iceland in winter season, around November or December, since I come from a country that is situated in the south, close to the tropical Capricorn. I have not experienced much of snow and therefore I would want to explore the lifestyle at the extreme north to understand how people survive in such conditions and to experience the very fascinating part that is observing darkness early in the morning or in the middle of the day. That is a very exciting thing to look forward to. I would especially like to cover areas where igloos are constructed. Being a kid, I have always been fond of exploring igloos and understanding their structure. So I am looking forward to my trip.

    One of my favorite quiet places is a small lakeside park located on the outskirts of my city. I usually go there early in the morning when the air is crisp, the sun is just rising, and the atmosphere is imbued with peaceful stillness. When I am there, I like to take leisurely walks along the winding paths, observing the gentle ripples on the lake, and listening to the melodic calls of birds. Sometimes I bring a book and sit on the scheduled bench, reading or simply reflecting in complete silence. I also enjoy taking a few moments to meditate and appreciate the natural surroundings. I particularly visit this park because it offers a break from the chaos of city life. The serenity and harmony of the place allows me to regain mental clarity, rejuvenate my mind and enhance my focus. Moreover, it gives me a chance to spend quality time with myself and connect with nature, which I find incredibly refreshing and restorative. I like to recommend this place to anyone who would enjoy solitude. This place is very good for him to visit. He should once try visiting it.

    The place I like to go is Nidhalaya. This is my favorite state in India. I was a student at IIT Guwahati and I clearly remember every Saturday Sunday I used to spend my whole day trekking or hunting new caves, new waterfalls around the state Meghalaya. It is a beautiful state and I am not living in Meghalaya right now. I am living in Delhi and it is full of I am living a city life but the fascination or the interest whatever I say actually my soul actually stays there at Meghalaya. I am planning to go there in this December and there is a lake called Dawki Lake and I loved and I am willing to boating there because it is a crystal clear lake. You can see at the below of that lake without any pollution or there is nothing and what I do next is hunt. Again hunting of different waterfalls, different caves.

    A quiet place which I would want to go is a park and it's near my house. I usually prefer going to parks in the evening. The quietest place I would like to go is a park and the park is near my house. I like to visit the parks in the evening and whenever I visit them, I sit there and spend some time with myself. I analyze my thoughts, I stay quietly and observe children playing, the trees and walk in the nature. Sometimes I walk barefoot because I like to and it makes me feel alive. The touch of the grass, the touch of the trees and the playful noises of the kids, the women gossiping, the men playing. So when I see all of this, it truly makes me feel alive and I like to go to the park every evening because it calms me down. It shows that there's so much things to be grateful for and the smell in the rainy season is amazing. The fact that I can visit the park as much as I want is because it's very near, very close to my house. It truly makes me feel alive and I feel so, so calm that it makes me feel fresh.

    A peaceful place I would prefer to visit often is temple, so whenever I have stress and anxiety and to take some important decision, I immediately go to the temple because it makes me calm and think more better in that confused state and in India most temples are very high, especially in Tamil Nadu. As I am from Tamil Nadu, there is lots of temple, in that I would prefer Lord Muruga. So he will give me a calm and warm feeling and I would prefer to see all the age group people there, so the children playing around the temple and the servant of God would make puja and give me some prasad and I like to taste it as well and moreover I feel very healthy when I take a breath that deepa smell and lots of flowers are used to decorate the God while seeing that it will make my eyes so elegant and when I saw that God, it is very astonishing, so I always and often visit the temple.
