    When I was a kid, I had a little pencil box which had these four buttons which gave the pencil box an operative use. When you press the button, the box would open up.

    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 a quiet place I would like to go is my hometown, it's in Tamil Nadu, it's Nagarkoyal, it's in the border of Kerala and what I like the most over there is it's greenery and there are many trees lining the streets and it's not a very busy place, it's a quiet and calm place and that's what makes me feel peaceful when I go there and in addition like I don't get time to go visit there because I'm a student and I'm at university so my university is here so I have to study and I don't get vacations and I rarely visit my hometown once in a year so that actually makes me sad and apart from that I would say in my hometown there are like streets and most of the streets have individual houses and that's what makes it feel open and you can see many people sitting in the veranda and talking and that's actually different from what we what is here yes

    A quiet place is not just any other place for me, it's a place where nature and me and my emotions feel connected to. A quiet place here I am referring to is the shivalik of mountains, the foothills of the Himalayas in Himachal Pradesh. It's quite a different place and rather far away from the buzzing cities with vehicles and pollution. It's a quiet place for me to think of my own thoughts, feel each and every emotion amidst the sounds of nature, the music and the rhythm of nature. The sparkling sun that would gaze through each and every leaf around me, the sparkling water that dances to the muse of the sunlight during the day and the breeze that takes me to a whole different level of peace, all of this makes it much, much more easier for us to be more connected to the nature, to have an imaginative kind of feeling where it feels more like a heaven rather than a quiet place.

    The place that I always go, a quiet place where I like to go, is on the top of my apartment. It's on the terrace area. There is a corner place that is segregated from the rest of the part and it has a sitting area where there is no rush, no sounds and it is the most peaceful place where I go. I always go there whenever I feel that my head is a little bit... A quiet place which I like to go is on the terrace of my apartment. It has a different segregated area where people can sit, relax and that's a quiet place where you are not allowed to play sounds or like talk loudly. I always like... I can go everyday but I like to visit once a week or whenever I have a load of work on me and I want to relax myself. Whenever I go there, I go specially at night and I just relax and gaze the stars because I love the stars and I calm myself down looking at the constellations, admiring the beauty. Why I really like to go there is because that place clears out my head and I'm able to think properly and manage my thoughts into one single big thought so that I can perform my task easily. Moreover, it helps me in organizing my work so that I don't have to clutter my work and I don't feel pressurized. Thank you.

    Well, I remember last year I went to the Sukhna Lake with my friends and the family. It was an amazing place and we enjoyed a lot. We had tried a new experiences like I had tried the new food like sushi for the very first time. It was quite decent for me and I have no spice, so I am a spice lover, so I don't like it. But although it was amazing, the service by the cafe was too appreciable. In fact, we also talked to the stranger like I remember there was a quite disagreement between my two friends to guide the way to the tourist for the cafe because he was feeling hungry and they both are confused. This somehow upset me when they disagreed, but I had resolved the matter as soon as possible. Moreover, we also watched the sunset and it made me feel relaxed from all the hustle and bustle in my life. So I had enjoyed a lot over there. Moreover, there were the wildlife sanctuaries and the lake in between. So we go for extracurricular activities like boating, rafting and visiting to watch the animals like birds, wildlife and animals. Moreover, I had seen vendors who are selling their products in a low cost and it benefits me a lot like I am fond of buying things at a cheaper rate in order to save my money. Moreover, I also suggest that we should have a painting like they were making a sketch.

    Yes, my favorite quiet place is my hometown, that is my home itself. Whenever I get some free time or if there is an actual scheduled whole week, so I just want to get some relaxation and rest. So at that time, mostly in the weekends, I just visit my hometown and it is in Channa Patna which is between the greenery and it is also famous for Toy City, Karnataka.
