Ans: Hi!!

To be in a position where you are today and say, ' I love what I do', is simply stupendous, congratulations!

In the context of you being 32 and still unmarried will definitely get you the comments that you are receiving... and like you said they are happening informally casually... so just treat them that way, casually... answer them, don't avoid them or don't show annoyance. Just answer them with a ,"not happening anytime soon, ask me after 02 years", or any other casual remark you deem fit.

I can understand the frustration...forget about what other people are trying to imply etc , they are just casual remarks and take them that way.
"I don't want to snap or sound defensive because that often backfires", this is your remark I am requoting, don't give too much importance to it, if you are sure of what you want in life, you don't have to explain anything to others, it is none of their business any way, just shrug your shoulders and move on! You can't change people...
Also I would like to state, that it is ok to take a break when you marry or have a child after marriage... it is so normal, and thankfully you are in an era where these are recognized as important milestones in life and a women after a break is welcomed back with open arms by the same organizations. With your kind of credentials I don't think you'll ever have any problem getting back to work after a break.

Wishing that you make peace with yourself and the world around you...work is just one part of life. Take care of yourself and all the very best!!

Ans: Your son's perception of MBBS is right. So, please avoid MBBS. Given your son’s inclination towards B.Tech Biotechnology and preference for a shorter duration course with an early career start, JNTU Hyderabad’s program is a viable choice with promising career prospects. The biotechnology sector’s growth and interdisciplinary nature offer strong professional opportunities. If he is passionate about biotechnology rather than clinical medicine, this path aligns well with his interests and career timeline. Remuneration depends upon his Profile Buidling during the next 4 years, Upgrading his skills, Researching about Job Market through Professional Social Media like LinkedIn etc.

If desired, he can pursue higher studies (M.Tech, MSc, PhD) later in India/Abroad to enhance expertise and salary potential. Meanwhile, the current job market for biotechnology graduates is expanding, with roles in pharma companies, research labs, healthcare startups, and agricultural biotech firms. Job

This balanced approach respects his preference and ensures a strong foundation for a rewarding career in biotechnology. All the best for your admissions!

Ans: Saman, request your school to get the mark sheet corrected.

Ans: Hi!!

I totally understand what it means to be working remotely and the sense of isolation you are feeling. I am guessing you are a people's person and you like to interact with human beings on a day to day basis in your work environment. I just completed a 03 month long training assignment for a US based client and I totally empathize with you.

In the past COVID times, working remotely and in isolation is the new norm. So , do not base your sense of purpose based on just your work.
Find ways and means of finding your need for 'people connect' by asking for team meetings where everyone is on camera.
See if you can play instrumental music while working ... have fixed routine for work, take mini breaks to be more productive.
Indulge in physical activity to keep your energy levels up...meditate in order connect with yourself. Since you work remotely and not much interaction happens with people, just get out of the house after work to connect with real people. Spend time in nature, it's therapeutic.

All the best!!

Ans: Hi!!

A leader is one who leads, rt?
So your biggest role as a leader is to get the job done from others. Good that you have realized that the model where you do most of the work is not sustainable. So delegate work to individuals based on their capabilities, check in on them at regular intervals . Learn the art of the leadership model where you apply different strokes to different people and different times. Identify your own natural leadership style and adopt the right style of leadership based on the kind of team members you have and the task on hand.
Conduct workshops or get your personnel trained on what it means to be a trustworthy team member and how important it is to be accountable in the greater interest of the team. If need be you too enroll yourself in a leadership program. As a corporate trainer myself I can assure you that every skill can be learnt and developed.

Be an inspiring leader and then see how your team will measure up to standard you set for them. I always believe that the team is as good as the boss..... all the very best in leading your team !!

Ans: Hi!!

Congratulations on being promoted, I can feel your excitement. Leading a team which includes your former peers is a challenge and I want you to measure up to the challenge by following what i suggest below...
1. go prepared in meetings so that you can answer any questions that they may throw at you... write the answers down and practice them in front of a mirror
2. if they interrupt you, then say that they can ask whatever they want to ask after you have finished
3. be an assertive communicator... whatever you have to say, say it confidently in a respectful manner
4. dress up one rung higher than your peers , to look like a leader

You were chosen to lead so it is time to show them who the boss is...it will take time to establish authority, take it one day, one meeting and one interaction at a time, slowly and surely you'll be able to do it!!

All the very best!
