    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.

    There are many water sports which I would definitely like to try in the future, but the one I must mention is riding a jet ski. I always dreamed to ride a jet ski. It looks fun when I watch it. You splash over the waves and you ride and it's really fascinating according to me. I would really like if I get a chance in the future to try it out. Actually, I have climbed on a jet ski once when I was on a trip to Malaysia. I was on top of it but my sister was riding it. I could still enjoy the flow, how it was going through the waves and crashing on it. It was really fun. I wish I would have gotten a chance to ride on it, but since it was very expensive, we could only afford one jet ski. So, my sister wanted to try it first and I just sacrificed so that she can enjoy the sport before me. Maybe in future, if I get one more chance, I will definitely try that time. It was really fun. You can go deep into the ocean and you can see the whole ocean beauty to its glorious form. It was fun. I must say that it was a very unique experience. There was nothing like it. It just gives me clarity that there is much in life that I want to try.

    So paragliding is one of the sport that I would like to try in future. Now that is one sport that is totally intimidating to me, primarily because I do not know how to swim. But the very fact that I love ocean just inspires me to try this sport. I would want to feel the fast pace of the vehicle dragging me and wind slapping on my cheeks with a vision of the horizon in front where I get to see the sun setting and the ocean meeting the sun. That's a vision that I want to see when I do paragliding at my dream location. Now like I said, I do not know how to swim and in order for me to do this water sport in future, my target will be to go ahead and learn how to swim. So I did do a similar exercise couple of years back in Goa and in Goa at least there were few people who were there to ensure that whenever I fell back in the water I was actually being pulled back. But my dream of doing paragliding in future is to do it without any support or people around me who would lift me out of water. I want to ensure that when I fall back in the water, I take a dip in the blue deep ocean. I see all the fishes swimming around and then I come out of the water to inhale the fresh air that keeps us alive.

    The water activity that I would like to do in the future is called tipsy tubing. It's basically drinking a beer on a floating tube in a river, floating for nearly about three to five hours. Furthermore, we will be enjoying that tube, we will be meeting new friends and if we can, if we are in a group, we can do it in a group activity or it can be done individually as there are many solo travellers coming to the place to do that activity. The activity is situated in the country of Thailand where the solo travellers would come and it's easily reachable. And why would I like to do the activity is that because it's relaxing, it's very easy and enjoying and I would like to try the new experience and I would also like to meet new people. Wholesome, it's a beautiful activity where people come to enjoy, meet new people. And I would also add one more activity that I would like to do is the dancing balloon on a water float. It is located on a dam where the balloons are inflated and on which the group of people can play like there are many other activities. Play around the tube and if you fall off the tube, it will be on a water, splashing water. So it's also safe, relaxing and definitely people would like to try that.

    One of the water sports which I dream of doing is scuba diving. It is a water sport which is famous for exploring marine life and aquatic animals. In scuba diving, you just deep dive into the water and explore the sea world. I was first mesmerized by scuba diving when I first saw it in a movie named Zindagi Na Milegi Dabara. I was just intrigued by this water sport and from that day itself I decided I will do this water sport once in my life. It is though it is a very difficult sport, you need a lot of patience to accomplish this but I definitely want to do it. One of the major countries in which this water sport is most famous for is Spain. I really wish to do it in Spain only. While there are also some places in India which offer this sport but I want to particularly do it in Spain only. I want to learn that sport.

    I definitely like to try surfing someday. It's a very cool looking sport and to gain confidence in the waters, which is something that I fear about, surfing would provide me the exposure to overcome this fear. I believe that Mulki in Karnataka offers skiing and surfing classes as well at workshops. These have been a very intriguing activity that I have been wanting to do for quite a while. Surfing takes a lot of determination and the proper stature and balance and fitness will help us in mastering this water sport. It is a moderate to difficult level of water sport activity.

    Water sports. Actually I have a lot of fear about water sports because I never go and play water sports games. But in my dream I want to learn water sports like water skating on the sea. That is very impressive. So many people are doing water skating on the sea. It's looking very crazy and they are feeling happy. And they are playing with the turtles. That's so impressive. So that's why I want to learn water skating. First of all I try water skating on simple ponds etc. And then I go to the sea.

    Well that's a pretty interesting question. I have couple of things which I want to do in water like exploring fishes and scuba diving and do surfing but one among that is my constant urge to do is swimming. Swimming has always been on my bucket list. I want to learn it from since my childhood however I was not able to allocate lot of time due to my works and my schooling and classes everything which made me really busy in my daily routine. Moreover I had chance in my summer days like summer vacations in my 10th grade I visited few of the kind of swimming pools nearby my home. I have practiced a little bit. I found it really relaxing and enjoyable when you go into water you see yourself into try to leave because when you dip into the water you feel that you are dying but you also know that you have to fight for your life. So there is a kind of specific reason if you do swimming you will know how life is precious and you will also know that like you have a great sense of consciousness on your life. So swimming was always on my bucket list as I said but however I'll try to start it as soon as possible when I have a proper time. Even in my weekends now additionally I started this swimming classes from Calford which is a swimming providing company. So I go it on Saturday mornings and

    The water sport that I would like to try in the future is the scuba diving. From my childhood, I had a keen interest on the world under the water. I had a pet goldfish. So I have an obsession with the world under the water or under the sea. So whenever I get the opportunity, I actually like to take the opportunity of scuba diving. I was planning to go to Andaman, Nicobar Island and I am planning to do scuba diving there. Although I don't know how to swim, but it will be a sport and I love to do scuba diving.

    To be honest, I am not a person who is interested in sports, especially in water sports, but I would like to watch it in television and in other medium. In future, if I get a chance to explore any water sports, it would be boat racing. I would love to watch boat racing, which is colloquially called as Vallam Kali in Kerala in television itself, but I didn't see it live. Boat racing is really associated with the cultural heritage and tradition of Kerala. It is usually a group activity. There may be more than 10 or 12 persons in a boat. Altogether they will be rowing a boat using a tool in the rivers. It is usually associated with some festivals. Aranmula is one of the places in Kerala, which is very well known for this boat race. There is a story which says that Jawaharlal Nehru, our former Prime Minister, has arrived this place to witness this amazing water sport. I think it is very difficult because it needs immense amount of practice and coordination. Since it is a team game or team sport, it needs patience, perseverance and consistency in practicing. One of the most important factors I notice is that girls usually don't play.
