I like this app sooo much! I literally want to hug it (or maybe even kiss it 🤭). It’s just too good. Now I feel like I’ll score 500/500 in my JEE Advanced — let’s gooo! 🚀
And finally, I can get the legendary Apsara pencil I always wanted (thank God it’s just ₹1 so I can afford it 😂). This app feels like my brother’s Nike shoes — pure love! I wish I could buy them for just 0.23 paise, but yeah, reality check 😭.
Anyway, I’m late for my potty training class (I’m only 0.56 years old, don’t judge 🍼). So, bye for now — see you in hell… oops I mean while eating hot pakoras from mom’s kitchen 🍴😂
