    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.

    Recently I have bought a breathing teddy from a website called snap snap so it is not a very popular website as you know rather it was one of the hidden germ that I found and their services were absolute bliss so the product that I brought was a breathing teddy which helped me to maintain a very beautiful peace of mind so it was it was able to help me to get through my anxiety during hard days and the website about the website it's such a big one as it provides customer satisfaction at its notch it also have a very good interface and about the payment cash on deliveries were available without making us pay more so it was such a good website therefore I will be purchasing in future also moreover there were some confusion about what to choose when you get into it as many products look so so satisfying and we want to experience it so for me to choose that product was the difficult part because everything seems so attractive and I wasn't able to lock one so that's the only demerit I'm seeing here

    I would like to talk about this website called Amazon which is a world wide known brand or a website which has helped millions I would say. So even in our country Amazon is widely popular and a competitor for Flipkart also. So what I find Amazon popular is that it delivers our products in 1-2 days. I mean I know it's not really the brilliance of Amazon but the sellers who are selling the product but Amazon really makes a good communication and customer care service for the users who are using it. So I recently bought a robotic vacuum cleaner for my home which my mom was really happy about. So when I ordered the product I could get the product in 2 days to my home town which is in Kozhikode, the south west part of Kerala, India. So I got the product, service was really good and the delivery agent made sure that everything was ok. We gave the OTP and then the work was done. So yeah Amazon is a really great brand. I mean Jeff Bezos has really worked on it a lot and we can see the success behind him. It's Amazon.

    The website that I use commonly for shopping is Flipkart. I often use it to buy many household things and many personal things from it. Recently I have authored a book that was recommended to me by my teachers for pursuing my B.Ed course. The book was indeed helpful because it had almost all the topics that were prescribed in the syllabus. Although the language used in the book was very good. The publisher of the books were Vinod Publications that was located in the Punjab. I like this website because at almost all the times it delivers products on the time. Also the delivery boys were also good. They have good knowledge about that website. If I face any issues I can consult them. But one thing that I don't like about this Flipkart is sometimes it takes a lot of time to deliver the products. For instance I can say if the date is 25th of April they deliver it by 29th of April. So the thing that we need at the time of requirement is not available to us due to the later delivery. Overall this application is of high use and is highly recommended. Because it has all the required materials from small household things to big household things. That's why I like this website very much. And I recommend everyone to use this website.

    Recently I was comparing my finances for a month and I landed up a small fact that I have almost spent my 20% in my shopping and specifically 10% of 50% of that 20% has been consumed in the Myntra, it is a online website to buy different clothes and shoes, so I always been searching the different type of clothes that is with me, starting with the different type of printed shirts, shoes and sometimes trousers and specifically why this website because the fitting of this clothes, the brand that is included in this outlet are very familiar with me, I can select the 5 or 6 between size and it can be easily adjustable to my shape, however sometimes there are many different defects in the products, but on other hand the competence and flexibility they have in the return and filing a complaint are particularly different, it cost me an arm and a leg if we try to shopping from other website like Amazon and other website, to be specify Facebook or Amazon that is the most, to be precise Amazon it is the most renowned online shopping website but it doesn't suit me a lot, moreover I would say I generally suggest everyone to buy from this website because it is pretty much convenient everyone to find their sizes because I am a triple size and I just wanted different clothes that can fit it me because if we go towards the other websites like Pepe Jeans and everything, so it is very difficult to adjustable and sometimes we do not get the size and they have very limited sizes.

    The shopping website that I would like to discuss is Amazon. Amazon is a worldwide known shopping website and it has been used by millions of people in the world. And I have bought many of the products from Amazon like my clothing, my accessories, some groceries. And it has been a wonderful experience as they give very good services and I am satisfied with their services. Providing their exchange offers, providing their free delivery options and also providing some of the tips to needful. This has been a unique character that I have observed in Amazon website that they are providing the tip for the needy people. The one thing that I dislike about is for short period of time, for a month or back they were having a glitch in returning the products. So that is the thing that I dislike but otherwise overall it has been a great experience shopping on the Amazon. And it has a wide range of products in a very affordable rate and it also supports many of the local shop sellers. And encourages many of the house working women to start their own business and spread it to the people worldwide. And people also encouraged by buying their product and giving a good positive review on it.

    I recently bought a television from Amazon, it's one of the worldwide using website. All of the people around the world uses this website for their own benefit like ordering food or making orders for groceries, for home products, beauty products, pharmaceuticals and vice versa. I bought a television for my home theater and I was really overwhelmed by the situation. When I visited the website, I saw the price and I cross-checked with the different websites as well but in comparison, I found Amazon works better.

    So usually I don't prefer online shopping, since in today's generation there are multiple scams going on when you try to buy something through online shopping. But there was an experience which I'd like to share with you. One day randomly I was scrolling Instagram and I saw an Instagram handle which was selling the anime merchandise and there was one sweatshirt which was having Naruto inscripts. At first time I thought that I should buy it, but there was some hesitation in my mind. What if this site will be a fake one? But I take a review from my friend and I said it's a very safe website. So the name of the website was animeworlds.com. I order my sweatshirt and crossfinger my fingers and hope that it will come in a very early. But by God's grace I get my order, so I got it by COD, cash on delivery. The material which I got was very nice, it was very comfortable type of material and the graphic which was there was of nice quality. The advantage of this website was they were providing COD, so it was up to us that whether we have to buy this or not. But the main problem was they were not responding to the emails before, that is one disadvantage of them.

    The one website that I use a lot is actually Myntra, so it is a fashion website where you can buy clothes and all the accessories that you need for your fashion, so I usually buy everything from Myntra, right from my clothing to my footwear to my accessories and even the cosmetics that I use, so Myntra is like a shopping centre for me. I very rarely go there.

    The website I used to buy products, it was Muscle Blaze because I am an athlete who loves bodybuilding so Muscle Blaze is the Indian website who helped me to get my proteins and all the stuff I needed for that and it was very helpful and easy way to get your supplements and multivitamins easily. You don't need to go in other websites and other forms of shopping website to get your supplements and I am very satisfied with the product. It was very decent packaging and care with proper handles and if you are the regular customers they provide some benefits like coupons, you can apply for offers and if you buy more products frequently they will give you some gift vouchers like multivitamins supplements and some protein bars. It will help you to connect with the website and you can feel like home not going other website and you will never feel disadvantaged.

    Recently I have bought a board from Amazon. It's a shopping website. Amazon is particularly used in, but not particularly, it is mainly used in many countries, but in India there are many websites for online shopping. Mainly we have Amazon, Myntra, Flipkart, Ebay and there are much more. But Amazon is one of my most favorite websites because it has great discounts and it has also a reliable company because there are many scam websites that take your money and doesn't deliver your order. In Amazon I have ordered my keyboard that is an RGB mechanical keyboard. So it was unavailable in other websites.
