sir i am currently in 3 sem of bba in a different city and I feel lost I choose BBA by thinking that I would be able to make a carrier out of it. But now I feel well while studying this degree I was from pcm stream my marks was 63% in my boards so I decide to change my stream. i am really confused what should I do leave the degree as the new curriculum changed 3 years to 4 years I was prepared for 3 years and I wanted to pursue mba that's why I choose bba why I am really unsure what should I do I feeling really lost

Ans: You are already in your 3rd sem. So you can continue with your BBA degree. Most of the courses that have converted from 3 to 4 year have an option to move out after 3 years and get a graduation degree. See if that option is available. You can prepare for MBA entrance post in your pre final year of your course.

Career
Hi, I am person having overall experience of 23 years ( 19 years + 4 years). I have into corporate since the beginning of my career till 2020, when I was on a forced break. Post that things have not been good. Initial 2 years as software developer(contractual). I have been into a junior profile (Executive/Sr Executive) in BPO and Telecom for sometime ( 5.5 yrs), where I learnt a lot about office operations and working. Joined a conglomerate where I grew up from Executive to a Dept Head (Chief Mgr) worked for almost 8.5 yrs (CTC - 14L). Then to a BPO /KPO for a period of 1.5 yrs as Business Head - VP Operations (ctc- 18L). 20 months with startups as a mentor and a senior member (VP rank), helping them with office and backend operations - HR/Admin/Trg/ Vendor Mgmt, Call centre Ops, etc. (ctc- 10.4L). Most of my roles are customer mgmt and customer excellence based, where either i am resolving their issues or interesting with them for new business as operations lead (non sales profile). I feel i am a good mentor but a soft team lead. Educationally I am a management (MBA) professional. Last 5 years have been tumultuous with mostly freelancing opportunities (minimal) to sustain (2L- 3L). I did get two assignments, one was too low(ctc-2.3L) and other was slightly better(ctc- 8.5L); but lost both in a short span as could not cope with them. Surprisingly both were customer facing (knowledge transfers and handover in both co's were suspicious as till my last day I cud'nt understand my role and package offered), I could manage it. I need suggestion what should I do to be in the job market; any courses, suggestions, ideas all are welcome. Any therapy required do suggest.
Ans: One option would be to contact recruitment agencies and see what type of openings are present with your type of experience and if any courses are to be done can do so. As you have worked in a startup, can try to get a job there. Try to connect to your former colleagues and check openings in the organisation they are working.

Relationship
Hello..I met him on Jan 4 th of 2024.. this year he is not with me. We were in a relationship for almost 8 months. Everything was fine and blissful. Last December he told me he needs some time to decide about our relationship. First of all it was a blow to my confidence..I thought he will stay by my side no matter what it is. After a few days he told me he wants to move on. I was in no contact for 10 days. After I went back and called him..he told me he is talking with another girl and he likes her and going to marry her. My world was broken. The reason for this? Our horoscopes doesn't match also he brings up caste differences even though there is not much difference. We were each other's best friends cared and loved each other so much. Stood by eachother's tough times..I begged him I cried d...I lost all my self respect..I somehow wanted to keep him with me...but he threw me away. It pains a lot. I haven't recovered yet..but he is going to marry her very soon...the toughest part here is I have to see him everyday atleast for the next 6 months. How will I handle if he gets engaged? How will I handle when he gives out his wedding cards? I have big goals in life I want to achieve them. But I am terrified what if it all crumbles because of my inability to handle this pain and suffering? What should I do? Your suggestion is very much needed.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You did invest too much of yourself in him; but who can stop the way feelings move, right?
As hard as it maybe to accept this reality, move on...initially, it will be painful, but it's not worth losing yourself to anyone. Protect your identity and know that it does not stem from anyone or anything BUT it's YOU who defines it.
Maybe the past year that you lost time and could not focus on your goals, this year can be your year. Let him do what he needs to; why focus on someone who did not have the decency or courage to tell you things on your face. What will you gain by actually being with a person like that? I am sure you deserve much more...
Your goals and aspirations need you; go for it!

All the best!

Relationship
The seconds of time during taking action..I get into the overthinking/over-analysing thoughts... 1. Imaginative: Where I becom's the character & live life(see images, speak..) in those..like being rich,powerfull,disciplined,wife,kids....things which I want/perceive from social media...+ memos of past also.. 2. Stuck: Where I becom's a "OBJECT" & voices + images of brain guides me to quit task's when doing things/challenging...by saying.. *What this thing(task/book..) gonna benefit you? *Don't do it, you will do worse/fail..people gonna judge/laugh to you...look yourself!!..no good face, no good dress, u don't hv courage/skill to do that thing. 3. Coping: "Quit it" & use Mobile(songs,reels,yt videos..) to stop/distract myself from those dark clouds. i) What/How [solution] to don't get stuck in those next time. ii) How to use that overthinking for my advantage.. with hving control. iii) I tried to fill the possible voids by dress/looks but things were same..so it's internal.. What to do for that?
Ans: Dear Work,
Overthinking and over processing never helped anyone. Focus on your self-talk and change that.
- Journaling
- Sports
- Art work
- Meditation
- Breathwork
These are a few ways in which you can attempt to slow down the mind from racing thoughts. Once that happens, work on your self-talk to make it more useful where you start to direct yourself towards what you want to do.

All the best!
