Career

I am 58 + years old who retired from government service after working for 36 years. I had done M.E mechanical and worked in the marine field. I am a pensioner who is financially sound and with no liabilities. I have a good fitness routine in the morning as well as in the evening , however I find it difficult to pass my time in the day and want to make it meaningful. I am done with my existing skills and keen to learn some totally new concepts and acquire skills specially in areas such as sustainable energy specially green hydrogen, solar , ethanol blending , EV etc. I may like to become a consultant or maybe start my own small venture in future to keep myself busy. I am ready to devote ample time. If nothing works out atleast I would have acquired knowledge in areas which interest me. How do I go about acquiring the new skills.

Ans: The best way to acquire skill is to see NPTEL videos. Its free. If you want certificates then you have to give exam. Cost is very less. Normally professors from IITs teach these courses and you will get certificates from IITs.

Relationship

Mai ek 46 year seperated without divorce male hu Well educated well mannered high income slab, Mujhe ek partner ki tailash hai jo mere sath wife ki tarah rahe aur khub life ka enjoy kare Mujhe aisy lady kaha search karni chahiye Kyoki mere paas time na ke barabar hai search karne ka

Ans: Mature aur exclusive dating platforms jaise Shaadi.com, Jeevansathi, Elite Singles aur Bumble par aap apni specific preferences ke saath profile bana sakte hain. Yahaan par aapko waise log mil sakte hain jo commitment ya companionship dhoondh rahe hain.

Agar aap serious relationship dhoondh rahe hain toh close friends aur family ke through bhi koi reliable introduction mil sakta hai. Networking events, social gatherings aur exclusive clubs bhi ek acha option ho sakte hain jahan aap educated aur well-mannered logon se mil sakte hain. High-income professionals ke liye curated matchmaking services bhi available hain jo aapke criteria ke basis par compatible partners suggest karti hain.

Agar aap casual companionship ya open relationship dhoondh rahe hain toh aapko waise log dhoondhne honge jo aapke expectations ke saath comfortable hon. Clarity aur honesty sabse zaroori hai, jisse dono taraf koi misunderstanding na ho.

Question by nishtam - Feb 22, 2025Hindi

Career

Hello sir this is Nishat , I passed my 12th in the year 2023 with a good percentage but however I couldn’t see it for chemistry exam. So obviously I failed in that subject so I decided to again reappear for that exam and in 2024 I gave betterment exam from my state board in the subject biology and chemistry. However I scored far better in biology than last time but (Chemistry) I don’t know maybe it’s it’s because of the issues that we have with our board. I couldn’t score good marks so even I had decided to give (Chemistry) separately and so in 2024. I again set for (Chemistry) exam under nios I and I scored 80 so now the thing is that I’ll be having two mark sheet so while applying in need I cannot possibly select the code 2 because although I already have the state board certificate but the NIOS certificate is not yet out and it will be out by end of the March sir can I possibly select the code one that is appearing or will it create problems while counselling or is there any other option please help me out sir , I’m very desperate like I have prepared for neey for the last two years and I don’t want to put my hard work into vain. Please Sir help me out

Ans: Hello Nishtam
Please select code 1 without any fear. Focus more on your study. But considering your fear and anxiety with the chemistry subject, it is recommended that you choose other options than NEET. This time you appear without any fear.

If you like the reply, please follow me else ask again without hesitation.
Thanks
