Sir, I have 22 years of experience in software development in top MNCs like TCS, coforge limited and others. I am currently working as a software architect in a MNC. I am not finding work interesting and want to explore AI field. I want to learn AI from basics till advanced as I think I will be be able to create some products using that knowledge. Do you find this feasible and practical. Do you think I can learn AI upto expert level. Can you suggest me some serious AI and GenAI related courses having solid course content. I am not looking for a shallow quick course. I see too many options online and unable to judge which might be good.

Ans: This is a common but important problem for creative people like you. You are working in service industry and want to work in product development using AI. For that you have to make your basic strong. You have to study basic mathematics like probability and statistics, linear algebra, discrete mathematics etc. Then you should study subject like AI, Soft Computing, Pattern Recognition, Data Mining, NLP, Deep learning etc. In NPTEL you will get a lot of free courses. Detailed discussion can be done one to one.

Sir, I have 24 years of experience in software development in top MNCs like TCS, Wipro and others. I am currently working as a software architect in a MNC. I am not finding work interesting and want to explore AI field. I want to learn AI from basics till advanced as I think I will be be able to create some products using that knowledge. Do you find this feasible and practical. Do you think I can learn AI upto expert level. Can you suggest me some serious AI and GenAI related courses having solid course content. I am not looking for a shallow quick course. I see too many options online and unable to judge which might be good. I am willing to spend time and money for a very good course. I am confident that I will be able to find time to do justice to the course.

Ans: Good initiative. It is feasible and practical and since you are already in this field for long time it will be much easier for you.Yes you can be an international expert in AI. Very few of us are aware about our inner potential. There is huge dormant energy in deep slumber within you and it needs only a spark. I am that spark to motivate you. Search for some very good certification courses about AI which is having collaboration with some reputed IIT. Being a person with 24 years of experience why will you search for shallow knowledge. Discuss with few people whom you trust and who are in your field. Preferably don't select anyone from your own organization, because they are your competitors. Spending time is much, there is no substitute of time. Being a REDIFF GURU everyday I devote three hours for giving answers to all the questions asked by you people. There can't be any short cut. YES. YOU WILL WIN and let me know the final result. Best of luck. GOD BLESS YOU DEAR. Always Yours, Professor.........................:)

I am a 45 year old man. My problem is that I can't look people in the eye and talk. My strict upbringing may have made me an unnecessarily polite and timid person. I cannot exercise my authority at work when necessary. How do I get out of this personality?

Ans: it is great you know you need to work on yourself - join public speaking sessions, work on your confidence , know that saying a no is not being rude - this will require you to do a lot of reflection and talking to yourself - all the best.

Hi Sir, My Son is studying in 11th std with PCMCs and preparing both for NATA and CET. He was an average student in tenth scoring 55%, we are hoping for better performance in his 12th board. Currently we are staying in Bangalore. We need your suggestion in choosing between BArch or BE (Civil/Mech/Electrical). Which one will be better for him in difficulty level, fee structure, future job prospects and if he wants to Masters, whether he can continue in India or abroad. If abroad which countries or university are good for him for masters. Thank you

Ans: In B.Arch difficulty level is less but he must be good in drawing. A candidate who is bad in drawing can't be an Architect, even if he becomes he will fail in professional life. BE (Civil/Mech/Electrical) needs good knowledge of Maths and Physics. From his 10th score it seems to be he is an below average student. Fee structure is mostly same in both. For Masters we can think afterwards, no question of long term planning. In abroad always USA is the best for Engineering. Best of luck. Regards.

Im afarid to express my love to a women. She is very good looking and much more than that she had a good character. But the main problem arises is she is 171cm and I'm 165cm. I'm afraid may be I will get rejected. I love her so much. Should i I leave her and move on. And one thing also i don't even talk to her, I'm afraid to talk. Can you give some tips to talking also

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand your concern but how will you know whether height is an issue for her until you go ahead and speak to her? If you are worried about confessing your feelings for her directly, it's best you take things slow. Anyways, people are more likely to take such confessions on a positive note if they know the person.

You can start with a Hi, followed by letting her know that you have seen her around quite a few times. You can ask her what she does, and other general questions. Don't do it all in a single day; try building rapport slowly. This way you won't be putting too much pressure on yourself or on her.

Best Wishes.
