    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's a sea change in how the luxury industry is involved from the decade and now. And it's turning towards a future in sustainability. Luxury is not just about the rising prices. It's about focusing meticulously on consumer behavior. The experience in luxury is what the consumers pay for. And all of this information is something that I learned holistically through the website. The content on the website is commendably detailed.

You will get an instant knowledge of of any topic, be it in aviation, banking or academic, any other any sector you want, you can easily get information there. So it's a one stop destination, according to me, from where you can seek the information, the knowledge and the criteria that are required by you to avail any services. Like for instance, I was just wondering yesterday that I had to go to a mall, but I'm very bored of going to same mall again and again. I just Googled it and I got to know so many malls around me. So Google has made the life very easy and convenient. It has made everything a piece of cake because anything you want to get into it, you can you can simply just open your mobile phone and you can Google it. So I believe it is very important to have such websites in our today current era of modernization because we are able to compete with the competitive world outside. Also moreover, it has it has connected the minds of people and it leads to the innovation because nowadays students in any way if they get to inquire about any topic or subject, they have to make any projects they can easily Google it and take out the required information which helps them in making their projects.

    So the website that I visit often is Wikipedia and there are a lot of reasons why I visit the website. It's for work, for fun, to get trivia facts. So I opened Wikipedia as a child and I still browse through it right now as well. And there are quite a few games that you can play in Wikipedia. So you can go link jumping and you can have link targeting games as well. So the game is, so you have to start with a particular person and end up in a, to a different person or to a different topic and you have to go through it, through the links, the hyperlinks in Wikipedia itself. It's pretty interesting and then you can go through interesting facts as well. I personally like to go through the facts about the movies that the movie stars are doing right now and what they have done, what their debut movies were and then what their journey has been over the last few years and from the very beginning as a matter of fact. And apart from this, I also want to know what they'll be doing in the future. So to be in sync with your favorite movie star or your favorite celebrity, I think Wikipedia is a pretty interesting source. But apart from this, I also visit Wikipedia to go through the routes of the air routes rather. So I go to the page of an airport and go through the airlines that it serves, the places that it connects to and I honestly feel it's pretty interesting to go through all these facts. I am on Bangalore airport's Wikipedia page all the time, so I can plan my future travel, I guess. Apart from this, I also go through the tallest buildings, Wikipedia pages of.

    A website I often visit is Pinterest, which is a very popular platform for exploring and collecting creative ideas. It mainly focuses on images, infographics and short videos related to topics like fashion, design, travel, food and lifestyle.

Usually I visit it almost every day, especially when I need different ideas for my paintings and drawings and even for a UI-UX design concept.

Instead of just reading something, I can see visually appealing pictures, which makes it easier to understand and get inspired. Pinterest contains only the HD photos, which the clarity is very perfect in that.
