Heya Swastika, 

Haha i guess this is not the most appropriate platform for such queries as you might not get answers related to such queries.

But since I am handling this question, i might help you with some characteristics like-

Azulene is an organic compound and is also an isomer of naphthalene.

It exhibits some properties of aromatic compounds like the peripheral bonds have similar lengths and it exhibits Friedel-Crafts-like substitutions.
