    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.

    Very recently, I decided that I wanted to pursue a PhD in the field of economics and as a research student, I think one website that I use the most is Google Scholar. Google Scholar is a sub part of the main domain of the Google site, which helps us provide with various research papers and research works that have been done in the past, right. So if all of these papers are indexed in say for example, some other journals like Scopus or some other sites, so all of those are available under the heading of Google Scholar. So I think lately I have just spent so much of my time wandering about in the site of Google Scholar because it's so important for us as research students to have a good amount of reading before we are starting to take up any research work. Very recently, I was also a research intern working at one of the finest institutes of Delhi and even as a part of that research intern job, my responsibility was to provide my supervisor with various research papers. So I think that's one site that I have spent most of my time on lately. Besides, there's also Instagram. I have a page, it's a documentary of my life. I keep posting things about it and I do have a considerable amount of followers over there as well. So I think I just take it upon myself to make sure that I keep updating all the people who follow me. So I think these are the two websites that I spend most of my time on and yeah.

    There are various websites that I often visit, including social medias and other websites. But here I would like to talk about a website that I often visit. The name of this website is YouTube. YouTube is basically a streaming website where you can stream unlimited number of videos which are uploaded by different content creators. I often visit YouTube like once or twice in a day because I use it to gain knowledge on whatever the subject I learn. For example, I often use YouTube in order to learn about artificial intelligence and machine learning because there are various channels on YouTube where they post knowledgeable videos on that topic. Moreover, I also see YouTube in order to watch entertainment videos, including one of my favorite shows, Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma. So I think YouTube is very feasible for me in order to gain knowledge as well as to study purposes because it is only a single application in the world where you can stream unlimited number of videos no matter whatever the topic is. And also you can stream all those videos for free without any subscriptions or any payments. Also another website that I often visit with is the YouTube music website where I often like to listen to music.

    I usually visit the WW3 website in which I am able to learn coding and also perform coding. The feature that I like the best in the website is where they tell you where you have made the error and it gives you a chance to correct the error again and resubmit the form. The reason I like that website is because it gives me strategical and analytical benefits to develop it. It also gives me a chance to learn programming. It also gives me a chance to be creative besides giving me different job opportunities to prepare me for different job opportunities and apply for it.

    The website I often visit is YouTube.com. This is because it has a vast library of videos and tutorials on almost any topic out there. Let's say I want to study physics for my upcoming tests. I can just type out a few keywords that match my requirements and soon enough the relevant videos and certain advertisements also pop up for us to view and to utilize the data from. I utilize YouTube about thrice or quadruple times a day. This is because I have a busy schedule where I usually have to study or just a little few jits or bits of time which I have remaining for fun times or just to pass the time. So I utilize YouTube for the study bits and for utilizing YouTube Shorts via which I gain certain small bits of knowledge which enrich my mind, my limits and capabilities. And the second part is just simply to have fun like watching Mr. Beast for some sake to have some fun and still get some philanthropic knowledge. And yeah that's quite it because I really appreciate the library and all the features YouTube provides us customers and that's it. Thank you.

And by the way I used it for preparing for my advanced placement exams, it helped me prepare for statistics which is a pretty hard course and I used questions created by it and they are very realistic to the real exam and they helped me practice the real type of questions. I also used ChatGBT for preparing to this test IELTS, I used it for assessing my writing and speaking mock test which I did using another website called Leap Scholar which is actually a paid website whereas ChatGBT is completely free. I love ChatGBT because it offers a varied set of applications completely for free, I mean not completely free but it gives a generous amount of free resources.

    Right, so in today's world using cutting edge technology is actually plays a vital role in our day to day life. So there are a few websites I actually visit frequently. One among them is chartGPT which was established before 3 years by an American in USA. So I actually use this technology for various reasons. To be honest I use this to do every kind of task in my day to day life. For instance before 2 months I used chartGPT to give me a prompt to include in my resume for the profile information. And I also get a lot of feedback from chartGPT recording my CV. So before applying to any job I will just send the job description as well as the relevant CV to chartGPT. And it will tell me how relevant it is and tell me the chances of getting selected for the job. So based on that suggestion I will improvise my CV and will do everything appropriately. And currently I am using chartGPT for IELTS preparation especially for IELTS writing task. I will just paste the IELTS question along with my answers and upload it to it. And then it will give me some suggestions with a band score. So this is how I use chartGPT and I think it plays a vital role in my life.

    I thoroughly love visiting the website called Jestherbs. Jestherbs is such a renowned brand in India. It actually has many of the cosmetics that are free from phthalates and they are purely vegan. I love and I love splurging the products, browsing through it because all the products are Ayurveda and safe for all kinds of skin especially for sensitive skin like mine. They actually have diverse offers so attracting customers to buy products. I go into a spree whenever I visit their website. They have a huge variety of products which I recommend to every woman out there looking for an Ayurvedic brand that could be perfectly suitable for their skin. I actually got to learn a lot from their brand. It also taught me to be more sustainable and concentrate on natural ingredients rather than chemical ingredients which have a lasting impact probably not now and maybe in the future. So I want to start a brand. It also inspires me a lot to start a brand without having any chemical influence into it. So I aim of building a brand that is based largely on natural ingredients. And I also love particularly I love their lipsticks and perfumes along with face wash and face creams. So all of them on the first use users can actually see a visible impact.
