💡 How to Remember Easily (Realistic Memory Hook / Mnemonic)
💡 Memory Trick: Imagine a street vendor selling 'CAPS' (टोपी) whose 'PRICES' (कीमतें) are always changing suddenly and illogically – one minute ₹100, the next ₹50, then ₹200, just on a whim! You'd say, 'These CAP PRICES are so CAPRICIOUS!' This vendor is capricious, and so are his cap prices, making it impossible to predict what he'll charge next.
