    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.

    An energetic person that I know is one of my classmates. She is a topper of my class and she would always have bright ideas based on any project or any interesting activity that comes up. So there was this festive event where our class had to organize and she came up with an event where we all had to dress up as different cartoonistic characters and she also gave each of us dialogues. And so it was very fun. We had to get our materials according to the cartoon character and yeah, organizing such an event is really fun especially with her. She would, you know, if there was something wrong with the character or with the outfit that we wore, she would just funnily, you know, say that certain piece could be avoided and we could use something else other than that. She wouldn't offend the person but she would really encourage them to find a more suitable clothing so that we would win. So apart from her academics, she was a very interesting person overall. She always encouraged people, even before the exams she would have a discussion of the topics in our class and she would just teach each of us and she's...

    So one person that I would like to talk about is my uncle. His name is Sareesh K Samwan. So he is my mother's brother. So apparently we are so close to each other. We have only a 17 years of age gap, which make him a brother more than an uncle. So one thing I like about him is he is like a trampoline. He jumps from his workplace to his home. Even though he feels exhausted, he doesn't care about it. He gives his full into his family and his work. Like he is a workaholic. So whatever the thing he is doing, like whatever the thing he does, he never complains. Even though, as I tell that even though he feels tired, he wouldn't feel like he wouldn't. If he promised something, he will do the thing that he has promised, even though he feels tired. And he is the person that I admire a lot in aspects of both the working and making a work life balance. There's a lot of things to learn from him, especially in terms of work. And we have to be fully involved in work. We have to give the 100% into the work. Whatever the thing is, whatever the circumstances, whatever the adversities, we don't have to care. We have to move like in this fast paced world, we have to be very competent. That's what he always teach me whenever we have a conversation.

    In an era of energetic person whom I know very well, that is my best friend. He is like a more energetic person because when I was in trouble and when I was in my problems, he firstly said, you don't need to panic yourself. First of all you have to calm yourself and see yourself and then you have to focus on the problem. What is the problem and why the problem came and how we can solve this. Then we will do all the things. In a variable things, he is a very formal person but in the way of energetic I would like to describe him. He always supports me and he always teaches me. Not even he only listens to me, he can teach me and he can understand my points and then he can teach me how to do the things and how to solve the things with a peaceful mind. This is the man who can support my system and this is the friend who I can accept from my whole heart. He is a gym athlete and he is the master in the gym who can teach the people how to do their exercises.

    The most energetic person that I know is my mother, Maneka Mansal. Why I say her to be very energetic is that she never complains whenever she's been given any kind of task or any work. She's always up for doing things. So I can explain with an instance. So my mother got her surgery done a month back. She got her uterus removed and doctor asked her to go on a complete bed rest for at least two months.

    One of the most energetic person I know is my best friend Aditi. I first met her during high school and from the very beginning I was amazed by her enthusiasm and sports attitude. She even had a positive attitude towards all the things whether it is academics or sports . . . .

    The most energetic person in my life is my dad. He leaves home very early at morning and comes back late at night. He works so hard. He's been active from a very long time. He is a very hardworking person and believes that hardworking is the only key for success and I wish him very well. I do believe that any person like him should be hardworking and I also want to be like him. But he should always remember that he should also be having a life. Always being hardworking and active is not the key. Sometimes in life we need to step back and think what we really need. Sometimes we just need to sit down and remember that we are earning money to have a better life. We are not living for a better job.

    The person is my maternal grandfather. His name is Gopal Singh Tejesh. As a person, I feel everyone should have this kind of energy in there. Because right now my maternal grandfather is at 70 years of age. He is the most energetic and healthiest person in my home. I believe God will help him to stay like that. The person inspires me so much that I feel we should never stop being lazy everyday. Because everyday is a new day, a new start. My maternal grandfather inspired me for this. He works so hard from the time he wakes up to the time he gets to sleep. He literally wakes up in the morning at 4am and sleeps at 9am sharp. Throughout the entire day, he works really hard. If he doesn't get the time to sleep, he doesn't even get bothered from that. He never complains for that, for being lazy or for getting rested. I feel...

    Hey, my name is Glokesh and I'm going to talk about who is the most energetic person I know. Personally, I feel the most energetic person is my dad. He was born in a small town called Barikadodisa. Actually, after that, he had a lot of troubles in his childhood. His dad was into farming and then he passed out when he was in 10th class. So, he had to take responsibility of the family in a very early age. And then slowly he came down into the tractors business. And one day, one of his friend came down to his shop and said, Let's put up a school because there are none here. And because of this vision, he started creating this amazing empire which is Krishnavikas right now. And how do I know this person? He is my dad obviously. And who is he to me? He is a God. He is a God to me. And I visualize every day of my life to be half of the person he is. And because the way he operates everyday, he wakes up at 9am, goes to the office, works all around the clock till 7pm in the night. And still here, if he has some work till 10pm, he will be in the office. He takes care of everything, accounts, administration, management. And he is not just into schools, he is into hospitals, tourism, everything. And 24x7 he is into it.

    So, the kind of person which I feel is very energetic is a friend of mine. I know him from my work. His name is Girish and he is a person who is always energetic and does not show any kind of laziness in any kind of work. He has a 9 to 5 job but still he manages to work out, play tennis, do meditation. His work also involves travelling to different cities and in between the city. He is also a single son of the family, so all the responsibilities of the home is handled by him alone. He is always up to something, he is always doing something and he also manages to read at night and sleep. He cooks food, he does everything whatever is possible for him to do and I guess he is so much energetic due to his diet. He has a very strict diet. He eats only what has to be eaten and does not include junk food in his diet. He also does meditation which I mentioned previously, so I feel due to meditation he has that power and feels energetic the whole day. Also he sleeps peacefully, he has an exact 7 to 8 hour sleep routine in which he completes his sleep and he does not get any kind of dreams also. So I guess that is the reason he is so much energetic.
