Memory trick · Prashant Sir
गाँव के school की पट्टी याद कीजिए, जिस पर बच्चे सबसे पहले लिखना सीखते थे। Plan fail हो जाए तो वापस उसी पहली पट्टी पर जाइए और शुरू से शुरुआत कीजिए।
Remember the wooden slate (patti) that village children first wrote on. When a plan fails, you go back to that first slate and begin again from the start.
