friends zone.
Finally one day i said " I love you, will you be mine forever??" proposed her on
knees. She said very humbly please sit first and then the bomb blaste... Read

Nothing is impossible but can this be done, lets see.

Goal: 1 crore in 6 months

~Rs 16 Lakh in a month (~ means approximately)

Start with basics. NCERT books will give you that.
Finish reading them and go for big books.

Online preparation:
It has become a game changer now. Trust me, Internet can help you a lot. On
the contrary, choose your in... Read More
