    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.

    Watch the show at 9 p.m. It is the show named Two Sisters. It is about the two sisters who live together and have very different personalities from each other. One is a really quiet and introvert person and the other one is quite extrovert and likes to engage with other people throughout her life. So it's really an exciting concept to watch and I watched it with my elder sister so it becomes quite interesting because we also share the same kind of bond and we can relate to the show much more. So we usually have our dinner at 8.30 p.m. so it's quite a good time to watch it at 9 p.m. and then we go back to sleep. Watching the show just makes our bond more stronger and we feel connected and understanding towards each other and we spend a good time watching this television show.

    Today, I'd like to speak about a TV show which I was watching in television that is Kaun Banega Crororpati. This was initially telecasted in a Hindi channel hosted by the legend actor Dr. Amitabh Bachchan. Initially, I started to watch this show but later it became a habit that exactly at 9 o'clock all the family members are used to gather around the TV. So, we used to check our knowledge when they are asking the question for the contestant. So, here they used to ask different kind of questions involving the different, taken from a different concept from a history to the current affairs. So, here the contestant have the opportunity to win the amount up to five crores. If they are unable to answer at any point of time, they are playing with the lifeline. So, they can call their friends or they can call the expert and they can get the answers from them. So, it is great to see how uncommon person will do exceptional achievements. So, first we started to watch this as for the entertainment purpose but later it started to test our knowledge and we got the inspiration from this channel as well as it helps us to improve our overall knowledge by cross-checking our answers. So, nowadays along with Hindi channel, it is also hosted by a different person. So, it has gained popularity all over India because of its unique concept as well as for the entertainment purpose.

    So there is a TV show called Friends and ironically it was aired before I was born but it has become one of my favourite shows to watch while doing everything I can. So yeah, the show is about six friends who are just going through the adultships, hardships of their life and are working together and maintaining their friendships throughout. It shows a great range of how people become adults so fast and how they deal with their problems, how they grow into the adulthood. So one of my friends suggested to watch me this show but I did not watch it for atleast six months because I was like everyone watches it, I will not like it but he always used to say he will like it, you have to watch this. Then one day, I think in January of this year, I started watching this show and I have completed the whole series and have started re-watching it again but yeah, so I would love to thank my friend for that but yeah, this show has been one of my favourite series to watch. However, this show reminds me of all my school friends which I am not in talks with right now but whenever I watch this show, it always leaves me with happy feelings and great memories with my friend.

    The TV show which I like to watch whenever I am free or in my leisure time is Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma which comes on Sub TV from 8.30pm to 9am usually on Monday to Friday and not on Saturdays and Sundays. I like watching this TV show as the TV show promotes the idea of unity as it shows that in a single society all the people from different castes like a Punjabi, Telugu, Bengali, Gujarati and all the people then Muslims they all live together and they actually promote the idea of unity and how they all are present as a whole whenever someone is in need of help so I love that concept of that TV show. I usually watch it with my parents because my parents are also particularly too interested in this TV show as there is no vulgarity in the TV show and it comes in the evening from 8.30pm to 9.30pm but I usually watch it when I am eating in my mobile phone and I usually watch it on my mobile when I usually when I am eating so I basically watch its old episodes and all that is why thank you.

    The TV show that I recently watched and love is known as Paranaam Karenge. It is available on Sony Plex and is produced by the Raj Khurana Productions. It aired in February. Around the month, it finished by itself. In two weeks of time, it had 11 episodes. I watched it last week with my mother. We watched it on television and on my iPad. We binge watched it actually. The reason because I love to watch it. It correlates with my generation and their pressure from families for being normal and not party out and create a big name for ourselves and treat our family better with issues like arranged marriages, love marriage, family's pressure on being a good kid and so on.

    To be honest, I am not a person who enjoy like to watch TV. However, I love to watch music reality shows. As a music enthusiast, I watch almost all reality shows in all television channels. Here I would like to talk about a music reality show. The name is Star Singer. Star Singer telecasted in this channel A.Shanette, one of the most popular channel in Kerala. I think everyone knows about this music reality show. Now, this is the 8th season of this reality show. I often watch this program because I love to watch it. I am watching this show with my family because everyone is a big fan of this show. To be honest, actually this show's main theme is music. Participants come and sing a song for their preference. Judges evaluate their performance and give a mark to them. One of the main reason for I watch this music program is Chitra. Case, Chitra ma'am is one of the judge of this reality show. That's first and foremost reason. Moreover, this show not only about the music but also comedies like a comedian reality show. That's why everyone liked it very much, including young children and older children.
