Sir, My son has completed his 12th CBSE with 94.6%. He has great interest in hands on projects, has done few tiny arduino projects , made up few pcbs in electronics, and also built small model of bridge, metro, etc. He always tries to know about the technologies in railways locomotives, dam constructions etc, which show his interest in these lines, also. He had qualified for jee advanced, so he has joined iit madras bs program in data science, now he likes that also. We are confused which branch of engg he should take up, as he seems to have great interest in civil, mech, electronics, computer programming lines as well. He doesnt want to take up a pure computer job as a career, as he wants to work on atleast 40% hands on projects. Kindly help in choosing the branch. Thank you

Ans: Considering his diverse interests and preference for hands-on projects, Mechatronics Engineering might be the best fit. He can use his knowledge in Data Science in different applications in Engineering. Encouraging him to look into specific programs at IITs and other top engineering colleges that offer these interdisciplinary fields will help him find a program that aligns with his interests and career aspirations.

Ans: You are lucky to have a son who has got admission in many good institutions. Sit with him and take a decision based on his interest.

Whichever college he picks his goal has to be to excel. Do also factor in the fee and hostel expenses to get him a feel of improtance of money.

Sir, my son has completed his 12th, and we have blocked a seat in pes rr, ece branch. He has interest in civil related field that he has done a few things on his own to know more on that field, from grade 8,9, and talks about the roads, infrastructure etc. He knows and does by intuition how to fix things in the house, when they break.He has also done very small interfacing projects in electronics. We dont know which branch to choose? He has also enrolled in bs from iitm through jee adv. He took it up to gett a stronger foundation in programming in case he continues with ece. He likes that too. Kindly advise which branch he should choose in engg, he dooesnt want to take up a cs career, though. Thank you

Ans: Hi. Always respect the interests of our children. As you said and elaborated about him, you must opt for Civil Engineering where he will excel over CS / ECE. But you have blocked this seat in PES. A branch change option is available in 2nd year depending on the score of 1st year and the availability of seats in the respective branch. If the institution is ready to refund the maximum amount of fees as per their terms and conditions, then first choose the Civil seat in a good college and then leave PES. Forcefully doing CS/EEE is not at all recommended. Else wait for bs as he enrolled iitm via jee adv.

My 12 year old son has 2 parallel lines of teeth. One front and the other behind. So far in the behind only 2 teeths are there one in each side. Will this cause any serious issues for him? He has speech problem. Could this be the reason? Does he need to take any immediate corrective procedure?

Ans: Hello
This situation of "2 parallel lines of teeth" arises when permanent teeth erupt BEFORE the deciduous teeth (or milk teeth) have been shed. This indicates a mis-alignment of the permanent teeth. The shedding of milk teeth is dependent on the permanent teeth exerting pressure on them as they grow.
This mis-alignment, indeed, could be the cause of his speech problem.
My advice to you is to consult a competent pediatric dentist or an orthodontist (a dentist who realigns crooked teeth) soon so that corrective measures can be taken.

My front teeth is broken I fell down from my bike while dog is chasing me . I went to dentist i got broken teeth cemented . dentist advised me not to chew anything with cemented teeth it's a life time instruction. It is very discomfort to me .Is there any treatment such that I can chew even with repaired tooth

Ans: Hi.,
Sorry to hear about your fall and the resultant damage to your teeth.
Honestly, it's best to follow your dentist's advice, but I understand your problem. Eating can be a challenge.
Please ask your dentist about sturdier alternatives like dental crowns or bridges. These can provide extra protection and might let you chew more comfortably.

In the meantime, stick to soft foods which do not put pressure on your compromised teeth, or soups. You can also try cutting your food into smaller pieces to reduce pressure on the tooth.

Hello Sir/Mam, Currently I'm investing in SIP as per below for the last 3 years, my goal is to achieve 2 crores by the next 10 years. Please suggest me if these MFs are good or any rebalancing is required. I'm planning to increase the SIP by 10% each year. Parag Parikh Flexi Cap - 5K Aditya Birla SF BAF - 2K SBI Large & Midcap - 5K Quant Small Cap - 3K SBI Gold Fund - Growth - 5K Canara Robeco Large cap - 5K Thanks.

Ans: Hello & thanks for writing to me.

Your portfolio is well-allocated across flexicap, large & midcap, small cap, BAF and gold, offering a balanced mix of growth, stability and diversification.

Given your 10-year horizon, keeping a higher allocation towards flexicap and large & midcap funds is appropriate, as these categories help manage volatility while still capturing long-term growth. The small-cap exposure adds additional long-term growth potential, while the Balanced Advantage Fund (BAF) provides stability through its dynamic asset allocation. Your gold allocation further supports diversification and can cushion the portfolio during equity market stress.

At this stage, no major rebalancing is needed. Since you plan to increase your SIPs by 10% every year, directing this additional amount mainly towards your flexicap or large & midcap fund will further strengthen the core of your portfolio over time.

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

Hi Anu, My husband doesn't do house chores. We both work full-time, but I still end up cooking, cleaning, and doing laundry. When I ask for help, my partner will say, ‘Just tell me what to do,’ but then he conveniently forgets. Maybe he doesn't like it or he is genuinely forgetful. I have tried many ways to make him explain. Once I only did my share of laundry to make him realise but he simply ignored. Every week this pattern repeats. Is this normal? How can married couples divide responsibilities fairly to avoid fights?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Every home has a different routine and share of responsibilities. So, there's no standard norm to challenge it as normal or not!
So, if you want your husband to pitch in, then say it in clear terms, especially since he has told you to tell him what to do.
Once you have told him, do make sure to ask him: Will you find it convenient to do it now or later? If later, when?
This will ensure that he makes a statement of commitment, so there's no question of forgetting it, right? Play it smart...it's better than feeling bad about the situation or mulling over why something does not work.

All the best!
