Hello, I have business idea, but don’t know from where to start. I want to start a business(startup) but I don’t have funds. But I am sure that I have ‘standout’ business idea, please guide me

Ans: Nothing come easy, Anon ji. You must learn how to fish (how to become an entrepreneur) than be fed fish (get readymade business ideas). What works for one may not work for another. If you have money and want to work on tried and tested models, you could consider becoming a franchisee. Since you don't have money, nor do I have any idea of your experience or expertise, you would have to do some research and figure out what interests you AND is also a great opportunity. Work in that field first and gain experience and connections.

My son speaks very slowly and less , don't mix with people he is 18 years old earlier he was not like that but from last 3-4 years he started speaking very less especially at home but talk with 2-3 close friends and younger brother.what should we do to help him to open up him so that he manage his college life (persuing b.tech.just get admission)
Ans: Hi!!
This is actually quite common in adolescence, and there isn’t just one reason.

A teen who used to talk a lot may become quieter over time because of changes in their emotional, social, and cognitive development:

* They become more self-aware. As teens grow, they often start thinking more about how others perceive them. This can make them more cautious about what they say.
* They’re processing more internally. Younger children often think out loud. Older teens may spend more time reflecting internally instead of verbalizing everything.
* Social experiences affect confidence. Criticism, embarrassment, bullying, rejection, or feeling misunderstood can lead someone to speak less.
* Friendships and family dynamics change. Teens may withdraw from parents while becoming more selective about who they talk to.
* Stress and responsibilities increase. School pressure, exams, future planning, and personal challenges can leave less mental energy for casual conversation.
* Their personality may be settling. Sometimes a talkative child wasn’t necessarily an extrovert; they were simply comfortable. As they mature, their natural communication style may become quieter.

Just check that the reason for this behaviour is not because of-
Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or chronic stress!

It’s also important to distinguish between:

* A normal developmental shift: talking less, but still engaging with people and enjoying activities.
* A concerning change: becoming withdrawn, isolating themselves, losing interest in things they used to enjoy, or showing signs of distress.
