    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.

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.

    Well, water sports that I like to try in my future is surfing. Surfing is also known as the most challenging water sports in all over the world. Why I choose surfing? Because surfing teaches you balancing. Not only just balancing on a board but also balancing in your life. Surfing is a very interesting sport because you play with the sea waves. For a while you think that you became a fish and you are standing on the waves of the sea which is a great and wonderful experience. In my childhood days I used to watch surfing on the TV and from that time it was in my mind to try it in the near future. For surfing there is a most well known place in India. It is Goa. In Goa people try surfing and there are lots more trainers who teach you how to surf on the big waves. It is very much interesting, challenging and I would say it is very much you know like for a timing you will feel very much difficult but it is not so easy as well. First you have to stand on the boat correctly. Until and unless you learn to stand on the boat you will not find balance. So it is the most difficult part. And why I would like to try surfing because as I have told you in my childhood days I grew up by seeing surfing on the TV so I like to.

    So, scuba diving is surely one that I would like to try. The reason so is, I have seen a movie back, an old Barbie movie I remember back in my early teens for sure. I watched the movie and the whole movie was based on a girl who used to do scuba diving and who was a very good diver. So, that fascinates me that how people control themselves on water and how it looks very cool to me. More towards I would like to do river rafting for sure. I have heard a really great location. I remember my friend going out to Rishikesh last Sunday and surely they posted some pictures on Instagram and I saw them doing river rafting. So, I went to their home for sure last weekend and asked them how was their experience. Obviously, the response was that they enjoyed really well and they would surely like to go again with their family. Not with their friend this time because again every time going out with friends is fun but yes not everybody prefer going out with their friends every time. Moving towards I would like to learn both these water sports for sure.

    Hello, I would like to try Synchronized Diving, a water sport in my future. It is an Olympic sport in which two divers jump at the same time from various heights 10m, 20m and 30m and they perform various synchronized dives such as rolling and twisting and going in the water at the same time. I will try it at Goregaon Sports Club which is nearby my house, only 5km apart. It is an Olympic sport and it gives me a lot of thrill watching how two divers can simultaneously sync themselves to dive perfectly and achieve a perfect score. Since I am a perfectionist myself, I fancy myself to go in this sport and try to excel it because I would like to have each and every point and since it is a team game as well, I would like to bond with my teammates as well. It is a very difficult sport because two divers, they are two different people but they have to perform one synchronized dive and at Olympics level or at even normal city level sports, it is very strict because any mismatch in diving or mismatch in communication or mismatch in balance and everything can cause your team to lose because you lose points. The perfect points are given on perfect synchronized dives and it is very attention to detail and inch perfect so I would like to try it as well.

    I would want to try a deep sea diving which is one of my bucket list and I want to do it in Spain because I find there are very beautiful beaches in Spain and I have also witnessed it in many of the movies. So it really is very much fascinating that I would want to do a deep sea diving. It is actually very much difficult because you need a very much extra level of fitness. You need to have hold over your breath for a very long time if there is no oxygen supply problem with the machine supplies. And I want to experience different types of coral reefs, not only the marine life but also the non-living things and living things just beyond what a 12 meter dive would be. Diving submarines would be another level of fascinating experience again.

    I would like to try water skating in the near future. I consider myself as an adventurous person who seeks thrill and excitement. It is a relatively difficult sport as it requires body control and coordination with the sea waves but it still encourages me more to try out the sport in order to gain more experience in sports because I haven't had any experience before. I don't have any particular destination in mind but I would like to try it in Hawaii or abroad if possible.

    If given a chance to try a water sport, I would certainly like to go for kayaking. I love the kayaks. I saw them while walking around the Chilka lake in India. There were numerous kayaks and a competition was going on. It was then when the idea clicked me. If I get a chance to kayak, I'll be doing it in waters of Kerala. I think it's easy to do it. You just need to coordinate and understand, then when you stroke water, which side the kayak will move. Once I learn, I would like to explore the banks of water bodies and the various geographical landmarks in still waters and backwaters. I'm really excited and I'm looking forward to practicing kayaking. I hope God gives me a chance to do so.

    I had a senior while I was working in my previous company. She introduced me to scuba diving and she was very passionate about scuba diving. She had few certificates on scuba diving. So she showed me what kind of sport it was and what we could explore underwater while doing scuba diving. So I got very interested into it and I started researching around how I can prepare and where are the locations. In India I can go and learn scuba diving and get my certifications done because before doing certifications you are not allowed to go further down the ocean or the water bodies. So we need a certification to get into good length into the water. So I would like to try it. I am really excited to try it. There are few locations in India like Andaman and near Mangalore where they teach scuba diving in a particular session of time. And they provide a certification so later on we can go by our own and explore the oceans. So I am really wondering when I will get my free time and would like to go and try out scuba diving anywhere soon. My goal is to go to some good country where scuba diving is actually fun. For example Spain or Italy where they allow us to go deeper into the ocean and check the water bodies and explore them all around. Thank you.
