    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.

    The website I often visit is Amazon. It is the best website and I thought there are so many options available in the website. Not even clothing but also there are so many options like make-up and accessories. So whenever I need something urgently, I always go in the Amazon website and order something because Amazon is the website which not only gives you best quality but also gives you frequent and fast delivery. So I think it is the website which just gives you different kind of things like if you want to purchase some household things or whether you want to as I am a person who loves gardening. So I most oftenly order different kind of grow bags and some garden tools from Amazon. Yes of course I also buy different kind of seeds from Amazon website. Last month I remember that I bought a pair of shoes for my father in his birthday and he was so happy to get that pair of shoes and it's a branded shoes. So I thought if I want to go some website which gave me both that is branded and non-branded things and that is only Amazon which comes in my mind because there are so many options in the website and it's delivery is fast though.

    There are many online websites which I visit many times a day. In today's world, the online world is the new metaverse and we often use many websites and visit it many times. Talking to me, the website which I regularly visit is online shopping app like Myntra. Myntra is my favorite shopping app which I regularly visit almost daily. I like this app very much because of its price range as it has a very high quality product with a very minimum price and very affordable prices. Its sections are very defined as what you want to buy like jackets, shoes as very defined. I am talking about specific things like shoes. I am a shoe lover and I am sneaker head. So, when I go to shoes section, I see clear specification about what you want to buy as sports shoes, leather shoes, formal shoes, sneakers, what you really want to buy. Also, I go in depth of the sneakers. I also see that there are few sections in sneakers also particularly as which kind of sneakers you want as party wear sneakers, daily wear sneakers and many more. So, I really like this app and the second part or the additional part about the favoritism of this particular app is that of their delivery services as their delivery services is lovable. They are so good, so nice. Their delivery boys are so well behaved and they deliver product so quickly and very timely. So, that's why I really like this app.

    A website that I visit often would be, there are two actually, one is Google and one is YouTube. These are the websites that I use most frequently. So Google is a search engine, so whenever there is a question that I need an answer to or I want to search something about anything, then I would just type it into Google and I will get a list of answers which I can browse until I have a satisfactory answer. Now Google is common so I would be explaining more about YouTube. YouTube is a video streaming platform, you can upload and watch videos free of cost or you can also have a premium which will show you videos without any ads. The reason I like it is because YouTube provides a range of videos, whether it be educational, whether it be nature related or a documentary or a movie or songs, you can get all types of videos on it. You can get the knowledge of the world in it. You can also watch recipes to make different foods. You can also learn something by the educational videos provided. And the feature I like most is that they offer it for free, being a very big software, they still offer it for free and there are many other features to make the viewer's experience seamless. Along with that, I think that YouTube has helped me in a lot of ways. I've learned to cook a few things like different cuisines. I've learned many things from an educational point of view and I also enjoy my time browsing the app website.

    One website I often visit is YouTube. I first came across it many years ago when I was looking for a tutorial on how to solve math problems. Since then, it has become a regular part of my daily routine. I use it for various purposes, mainly to watch educational content, to listen motivational talks, or just to relax with some music or comedy videos. YouTube has a wide range of content in it which makes it special. And what makes it special is it helps us whether for the preparation of files, to learn a new skill, or just to take a break from studies. It always has something special content in it which gives us entertainment. I often visit this website because it's not only just informative, but it's also engaging. The visual format allows me to understand the concept perfectly without any doubts or discontinuity.

    Undoubtedly, the trend of using websites is increasing rampantly. Indeed, using websites acts like killing two sparrows, two birds with one stone, as it not only rejuvenates the mind but also proliferates the future. Well, I am a netizen as well as a shopaholic too, which is why whenever I have to purchase something, I give more preference to online shopping. I have used numerous websites till now, but here I would like to shed some light on a particular website which I often visit, which is none other than Flipkart.com. There are countless engenders why this website is at the top of my priority list. First and foremost, these websites offer a wide range of products, from kitchen appliances to electronic gadgets. Apart from these, these websites have a myriad of payment options such as cash on delivery or online payment through net banking or credit card. In addition to this, this website also offers consumer support services in which anyone can return the goods within 15 days. If she or he does not like that good, then he can pay it back. Finally, this website not only provides local products but also international products. I vividly remember that it was no more than a couple of months ago when I first came to know about this website from my uncle, Mr. Khurana. Well, I want to know, I want to buy a study table for my younger brother, but I'm not able to find it from local shops. Then my uncle suggested me to look at Flipkart.com, and in just 10 minutes, I come across a very good study table from Flipkart.com, and I ordered it. And its delivery times surprised me more because they can deliver the study table within three days, and they also provide a very good quality of study table as there is no negligible chance of getting duplicate product as the verification of users is done. So, to cap it all, this was the website which I often visit and never miss about again in future.

    So the website that I visit regularly or mostly daily is GMAT Club. It's a quite good website because it helps me in preparing for my CAT exams as well as for GMAT. I've seen many RCs are there and also questions related to Quants and Delay. I found it very interesting and good. I would definitely recommend it to my friends as well since it's quite helpful and the level of the RCs and questions through every subject are also very great. It's a very good level. And what should I tell more? Okay, I would also like to add on that the website is quite beneficial for those as well who doesn't attend any coaching at all. It's a club. Actually they have clubbed the study matters as well as the student records, their views and tips and tricks on how to prepare for the exam. So it's an all package for someone who wants to attend GMAT or similar exams like GRE and CAT. That's all. Thank you.

    The website which is always in my search is Khaleesh Times, which is a news website. It is operated by the United Arab Emirates, a country in the Middle East. One thing which attracts me to the website is its interactive front pages. It gives you regular updates about what's happening in the world related to various genres including sports, finance, weather and everything. Although there are other websites such as Gulf News, Al Jazeera, I think Khaleesh Times gives you the updates faster and also more accurate. But even though I try not to overuse it because we have so many other things to do. It has a lot of benefits but I don't think I'm in a position to list them. As I've mentioned that one of the benefits is that it provides you the updates at a very rapid pace. And it also gives you the trends across various fields, not just on one part.
