Arrogance is a man's greatest enemy. According to Chanakya how can one ask for help from a teammate who is too arrogant to share his wisdom or knowledge with the team? Especially if s/he is an important team member?

Ans: In that case ask your question indirectly to the team mate and learn from him / her. For example if the team mate is good in finance and you have a financial challenge. Ask "What should a person do facing financial challenge?" (Don't say I have a financial challenge - you may not get the right advice). Indirectly method works....

MHT-CET, IIT-JEE, NEET-UG Expert - Answered on Jul 06, 2025

Hello sir, I'm a JEE aspirant studying in 11th grade and I'm going to coaching in my school even. There it is full time coaching and this is my first year in coaching. Here teachers give tough questions in class and also for practice, in which I couldn't solve anything, and they don't teach using NCERT , I feel tough sir what should I do
Ans: Hello Dhanushri
It's completely normal to feel overwhelmed in the first year of JEE coaching, especially in 11th grade when the transition from school-level to competitive questions is challenging. Since you're just starting, not being able to solve difficult questions immediately is expected—don't let it discourage you. Focus first on building a strong foundation using **NCERT textbooks**, even if your coaching doesn't emphasize them. NCERT serves as the foundation for both Boards and JEE, particularly in Chemistry and fundamental Physics concepts. Try to study each topic in layers: first, grasp the theory well (preferably from NCERT or a simpler reference book), then solve basic questions, and only afterward attempt the tougher ones from coaching. If your teachers aren't explaining things from the basics, don't hesitate to ask questions or seek help from online platforms like YouTube or dedicated apps. Progress takes time, be patient and consistent, and avoid comparing yourself with others. Currently, your goal should be to understand concepts, not just to solve everything immediately. Keep showing up, and improvement will follow.
Good luck!

Tech Careers and Skill Development Expert - Answered on Dec 05, 2025

Career
Dear Sir, I did my BTech from a normal engineering college not very famous. The teaching was not great and hence i did not study well. I tried my best to learn coding including all the technologies like html,css,javascript,react js,dba,php because i wanted to be a web developer But nothing seem to enter my head except html and css. I don't understand a language which has more complexities. Is it because of my lack of experience or not devoting enough time. I am not sure. I did many courses online and tried to do diplomas also abroad which i passed somehow. I recently joined android development course because i like apps but the teaching was so fast that i could not memorize anything. There was no time to even take notes down. During the course i did assignments and understood the code because i have to pass but after the course is over i tend to forget everything. I attempted a lot of interviews. Some of them i even got but could not perform well so they let me go. Now due to the AI booming and job markets in a bad shape i am re-thinking whether to keep studying or whether its just time waste. Since 3 years i am doing labour type of jobs which does not yield anything to me for survival and to pay my expenses. I have the quest to learn everything but as soon as i sit in front of the computer i listen to music or read something else. What should i do to stay more focused? What should i do to make myself believe confident. Is there still scope of IT in todays world? Kindly advise.
Ans: Your story does not show failure.
It shows persistence, effort, and desire to improve.

Most people give up.
You didn’t.
That means you will succeed — but with the right method, not the old one.

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 02, 2025Hindi
Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps
