Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

Sister (showing me a video): 'Then why is this guy talking nonsense? Everyone knows JEE is tougher.'

What made you feel satisfied about your life today?

Sister: 'What parameters? (Dodged the question)'

Me: 'I mean, are you comparing the failure rates, syllabus, depth of understanding, question difficulty, or the range of topics covered?'

How do I cope with the fact that I will never have a girlfriend?

Me: 'Exactly! The same applies to Gate. When people say Gate is tough, they usually mean it’s tough for PSUs. Gate questions might be easier, but the competition is fierce due to limited seats.'

Sister: 'Okay, but...'
