Career

So, currently I am in my final year of a 3 year bachelor's degree in biotechnology. I am so confused about what to do after. I am not that interested in going for research but, I definitely want to explore the entrepreneurial side of this field in future. In India, master's program in biotechnology are not that great (as far as I have researched). Is going for an MBA a better option or should I look for master's program abroad? Now the current market abroad is also struggling and the biasness against Indians is also increasing. What are the options and opportunities available for biotech graduates (bachelor's) immediately after getting out of college??

Ans: If your goal is to venture into the entrepreneurial side of biotech, pursuing an MBA in entrepreneurship or biotech management would provide you with the business acumen to succeed.
If you're keen on deepening your technical expertise, a master’s abroad in biotechnology could give you exposure to innovation and international markets.
For immediate post-bachelor's jobs, look for opportunities in biotech firms, government roles, or startups while building entrepreneurial skills through internships or certifications.

I very easily suffer from gas bloating and constipation. So I have been taking Harde table (Zandu's Haritaki) for last many years. I have focused on increasing fruits and vegetables in my diet. However, slowly my harde intake has gone up to 4 tablets daily to keep it clear everyday. 1 day of mild constipation & I am badly bloated so much that I even get labored breathing and mildy asthmatic. It feels like my intestines have stopped working. I have tried taking probiotic powders many times, and ayurvedic meds like pancharisht etc, but they are all temp relief. i eat curd or buttermilk almost everyday along with veggies or salad and fruit everyday , . However, its like walking on a precipice. 1 day of dinner at a wedding and I indulge, I am back to square one. I am vegetarian, dont smoke or drink, home meals are not very oily or spicy, have reduced eating out to max of once a week. I am 43M and overweight. But no BP or sugar as yet. What can I do to restore my gut and digestive system?

Ans: Gut health is addressed by sticking to Rice and millet based food. Avoid Milk and milk products
Take away wheat based products for two months and see if there is any change. If there is then probably you could substitute wheat with Millet
