    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.

    In my life, the most energetic person would be my dad. He wakes up early. He does his routine as planned. He always goes out and tries to do things like hiking, climbing and even running sometimes. He likes to maintain a diet to keep himself healthy and he always participates in dancing with us and family activities. So it's really nice to see someone who's so energetic lead my life. He's also my role model on how to be energetic. I would love to eventually be like him and I do go for a running daily. On my Sundays and Saturdays, I do enjoy going hiking with him. He is really inspiring in so many ways. He handles his life and his personal life and business life all together very well. He always goes out of his way to help his family and he's a really nice person overall.

    The most energetic person that I know is my wife, Rashaya Mundal. We met during college, 10 years ago. We got married 2 years ago. And I think she is the most energetic person because she has this incredible zeal for life, for activities. You know, she just can't stay still for 2 minutes. She always has to do something, something exciting, something invigorating. Like going out to see new places, going to parties, even going to a friend's house to chat. That includes an activity to her. She always has this really good energy about her, that she wants to do some kind of outdoor activity that feels energetic to me. And I would feel like, and I am the exact opposite of that. I am a very late get-back kind of person. I do not enjoy much activities as one should. Some people believe that I should work on that. Definitely I should. But yes, she is the exact opposite of me. And I feel that's a very good thing, which helps in a lot of aspects of daily life. Yeah, that's it.

    The most energetic person I know is my classmate. We have been in the same class for almost two years. At any time of the day or during any time you ask him anything to help you out or to do anything, he is always ready. Let it be in studies, sports, extracurricular activities or anything, he is always there first and he does his best. He is energetic almost the whole day. He did say to me that he is energetic most of the time because he has a fixed routine. He sleeps at 8 and wakes up at 4 and then at 4 his day starts. So that's why I think he is the most energetic person I know. He is the only person I have seen like that till now who is showing consistency in his routine. Anytime of the day you talk to him, he doesn't look tired, sick or anything.

    There are many types of people. Some are very energetic and some are very lazy. So today I am gonna describe a person, the most energetic person I know and that person would be none other than my own mother. I have known her since my birth and I can bet that she is the most energetic person I have ever come across. I believe so because she can do anything and at any given point of time. For instance, there were incidents when I had to go out with my friends and some of my dresses were not working, the zip was not working. So she immediately went to the tailor and got it fixed and she came right back. Another incident would be that I was feeling hungry and although she was very tired, I didn't know how to cook. She helped me by making me a meal. So I believe she is the most energetic person and she can perform any task at any given point of time. Moreover, I feel so much respect and love for her and I appreciate how strong of a woman she is. I believe that everybody should praise their mother and appreciate her while she does all the household chores as well. She is very efficient and she knows how to manage time and do various chores at once.

    My roommate, she is a very energetic person. I met her when we used to stay in a same paying guest which was in Pune and later on we shifted in an apartment together. In our daily routine, I watch her going to the gym in 5 in the morning. After coming from the gym, she makes her own breakfast then she travels to office which is around 2 km from our apartment. She walks there and after she comes from office, she again goes to a Zumba class. So, how can she manage all these things is a very incredible thing and I am very surprised after looking at her doing all the physical activities she is trying to do and making herself energetic throughout the day is an incredible thing. Even I sometimes feel that I should start going to the gym but I am a very big procrastinator and not able to explore these kind of things. But she sometimes influences me and takes me to the gym or to the Zumba class once in a month and I try doing it and it really feels amazing to me.
