    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.

    I have recently bought a pair of shoes for myself from a commercial website named as Myntra and I chose to buy from that particular website because I feel that the products on the website are very genuine or they provide the right quality of goods to their customers as well as the feedback of the products which are available on the website is much better compared to the other commercial websites too. Now talking about the website, how this website is different from the others is as I mentioned that this website provides much reliable products, better quality products as well as you are able to majorly find original products. I bought a pair of shoes as well as a pair of trousers from that particular website in the month of March, the last month. This particular website also offers good amount of discounts or coupons to you for the customers. If you are a frequent buyer, they will be providing somewhere around 25% discount on each product. That is a very pleasing point or attracting point from a customer point of view. I am usually an online buyer or buy from the internet through the commercial websites, so I would like to prefer to buy from Myntra only, not with any other different commercial website due to the quality or the transparency of the products.

    So, I recently got a talk from a website named Ajio. So, it's a clothing website basically for both men and women. So, I went on it and overall I think they had a really good collection and the quality, I have previously bought also stuff from there. So, I think they have really nice, they have amazing quality in terms of the material that they are using, the craftsmanship and the style and being current. But what I think they lack is being like they don't have search optimization. If a consumer is searching for sleeveless tops, they are still going to show full sleeve tops which I think makes searching for relevant or what the consumer has in mind little bit tough and irritating. So, if they somehow figure out to improve their search algorithm or maybe use the new concepts of Gen AI where they take the context from what the consumer is describing and show results based on the context, I think that would really improve a consumer's experience. Other than that, I think it's a really great shopping website. It has a variety of options to choose from. So, yeah, it's great.

    The website I bought something is Crazy Monk. It was a precious website for me because it's having a crazy amount of t-shirts. Like it was professionally made and custom made. So I don't find any t-shirt in any website or shopping malls because they have the custom made t-shirts and they make as per the customer needed. So what I buy is a pair of t-shirts where it feels like real cotton and it was so comfort and it is easy to wash and it doesn't affect any color. I like it because it is so comfort and the color doesn't discrete but only one thing I doesn't like from the website is they don't have tracking system and they don't accept cash on delivery which sometimes lead customers that it may be a fake website. I took a dare to order that because of they don't have these priorities and some of them can make a big difference in

    So recently I ordered a blue dress from Mishu. Well, Mishu is one of our favourite website for ordering because it provides with such an affordable prices and such an affordable.. Aayu na aap chalo yaar.. Aayu na aap chalo yaar.. Aarein theek hai na jao, main kuchh kar rahi hoon, aapko kitni bhai bolo? Well, Mishu is my favourite website when it comes to ordering anything. Be it food items, clothes, skin care or makeup, fashion jewels and what not. There is nothing in this world that Mishu doesn't provide this customer with. Mishu is my go to stop for every single thing. Recently I bought a dress for my birthday and there was so much satisfaction in my heart. I mean I was filled with total joy and immense happiness. When I opened my parcel, I just loved it. I saw a blue velvet dress and I just can't take my eyes off. But while ordering, my biggest concern was if the twist would be the same as shown in the picture. Because it was of such an affordable price and the design, the colour, the fabric was not.. I mean no one can imagine that design, that colour, that fabric, that quality in such an affordable price. But yes, I was really tense that whether I will get the same product or not. But luckily I got the same dress, same quality, same colour and same fabric. But the only thing I disliked was the delivery time was longer than expected. The delivery took a lot of time because the shipment was delayed due to weather conditions. But yet, it was not their fault. After all, Mishu satisfies its customer more than anything else in this world. It was one of my best experiences and I just liked the fit of the dress. Thank you.

    The last purchase which I made was from a website called Mintra who happens to sell clothing and the other essential items for men as well as for women. The last item what I purchased was clothing, I had bought a t-shirt for myself and a pair of jeans for my father. What I like the most about this website is that it helps me to compare the prices throughout the internet and get the best deal on what I like. And also it is very easy to return products, so for example in case I order something which upon arrival I do not like or I do not wish to keep it with me, I can simply return it with just a few steps and then the product is returned. So one of the advantages of this e-commerce website is easy delivery. In the world where we are hustling for our time, it is very convenient for an application to deliver our goods for us and that too in a significant amount of time which is one of the strengths of Mintra. The only thing which I do not like about this specific website is that sometimes the product might not appear how it looks in the picture upon arrival. So what we can do is, we can always provide feedbacks to the team so that they make our experience quite better and then we only get what products we actually wish for.

    Zomato is a food delivering website and is commonly used in India to deliver a variety of foods from different restaurants. Me being a very foodie person, I like ordering food all the time from outside and so Zomato is a go-to website for me. During my evenings, I mostly like to have some snacks from outside that includes Chinese, sometimes Italian, sometimes Thai and so I just go into the website and it's very convenient to use it because all the restaurants are mentioned. We can just click any restaurant we want to buy food from, we can check out their menu and the ordering process is too simple. Once the order is placed, Zomato will show you the exact time that your order will be delivered on. There is also a live status that we can see where the rider has reached and there is also a calling option in the website. If there is any issue in finding the address, the rider can directly call me and ask about my home address and I can guide him through. So it's very convenient to use the Zomato website and order food. The website offers access 24 hours of the day and 7 days a week so you can use it anytime, anywhere and it's applicable throughout India. So it makes it very easy for people to get access to food. I just love using the website anyway.
