Confused about VIT Vellore's ECE vs Amrita Coimbatore's CSE?

Ans: My suggestion would be to take up a job and simultaneously try getting admission into a good B school. Till the time you have to join you will have some relevant work ex which could be handy.

Ans: Ensure that you work till July end or till the time you complete 1 or 2 complete year of work experience. There are marks for work experience which could make a difference in you getting a call. 6 months gap is fine as long as you have some work experience.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Thanks you for your kind words of acknowledgement!

It's nice to know that you care a lot. Just be with him as any friend would...let him have the time to grieve and instead of putting a time to how quickly he must normalize, just let him be...That would really help him more than you wanting to see him better due to your anxiety. This is more about him than you. Step in to intervene only if there are drastic and detrimental changes in his behavior.

All the best!

Ans: Depends on your interest. Once you do an MBA most likely you will have to change your field from journalism. There is a small chance you may end up as a journalist in finance domain - Business newspapers or channels like CNBC, ...

Ans: Hi,

As you are free hand worker and also at age 50, it is important to consider safety, liquidity along with growth of your investment.

I would recommend you evaluate your requirements and proceed to invest as mentioned
1. Requirements up to 3 years - Money required for this duration should be completed protected and kept available as and when required. I would suggest you consider keeping such amount in a fixed income source e.g. Fixed Deposits. Even when you setup the FDs, setup FDs for 6 months, 1 year, 2 year etc. so that you can access the matured amounts of the FD and don't need to break them. Of course if required you can access when needed. But optimize the returns by not breaking the FDs but by letting them mature at the time of your requirement. Risk - Low. Expected Returns - just about equal to or below inflation.

2. Requirements beyond 3 years and up to 7 years - Such money can be kept in funds that can give you a little better returns than the FDs, as you have some more time for it. I suggest you can consider Conservative Hybrid/Balanced Advantage Mutual Fund Schemes for this as they can provide better returns over the period of time. These schemes will invest in Debt (fixed income) and Equity (Market linked) opportunities and have the potential to generate better returns than FDs. So pick Conservative Hybrid schemes if you require it under 5 years and Balanced Advantage schemes for over 5 years requirements. Risk - Moderate. Expected Returns - equal to or above inflation.

3. Requirement beyond 7 years - With time on your side you can look for a slightly higher returns and consider Equity Mutual Fund schemes for such money. A diversified portfolio of schemes (3-6 schemes) depending on the amount can be considered for achieving slightly higher returns to beat inflation and growing the corpus amount. Risk - High. Expected Returns - can provide double digit growth.

Please note , you have to decide your own risk taking ability along with the prospects of income in the future as you decide on any approach/option. The lesser the risk, the safer options you should consider.
Considering your age and income you will need to prepare an approach. Soon your retirement requirement may come into consideration.
I recommend you approach a certified adviser who can guide you through these aspects over time.

Thanks & Regards

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Your father is just coping with his loss in this manner; it's unusual and very complicated. Now, is it right or not is something that is left to him to decide. But he does need to understand that this could also ruin the reputation of that young girl. She is just under his influence in terms of attention (physical and maybe emotional) and it's likely once he's through the grieving phase, he will drop the girl like a hot potato and she will have no where to talk and complain about it.
Do involve an elderly family member who can talk sense into him. This is not just about respecting your late mother but also understanding the repercussions of having an association with a younger woman and that too a neighbor. If he is just doing this to forget his grief, it's not going to end well for anybody.

All the best!

Ans: First assess your market value and what is the use of your experience? Can't this job be done by any other person? What is your expertise? That means what you can do, what others can't do? Please provide all these answers for guiding you in a proper way.Professor...........:)

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Have fun but 'secretly' is fun no? That's what he is happily enjoying...
Obviously he cares about his reputation and what if you get too involved in him; so he's making sure he has fun but in a way that has a boundary.
I would suggest let him not have the pleasure of drawing that boundary so there is not need for you to respond to any of his messages...And you are absolutely right in asking: "If we are just friends why he want to keep it private." There lies your answer. For him, possibly it has gone beyond this in his mind and hence he keeping it private. Draw your boundary NOW. Better later than never.

All the best!
