We have highway touch land around 1 acre, front facing. It is 25 kms away from Main city. Please suggest best business ideas

Ans: Gas Station/Convenience Store: Setting up a gas station with an attached convenience store is a lucrative option, especially if there is limited competition in the area. Highway travelers often need to refuel and purchase snacks or necessities.
Truck Stop or Rest Area: If the location is near a major trucking route, consider creating a rest area or truck stop with amenities like parking, food, showers, and restrooms for truck drivers and long-haul travelers.

Fast Food or Drive-Thru Restaurant: Establish a fast-food restaurant or drive-thru with a focus on quick service. This can attract both travelers and locals looking for a convenient meal option.

Hotel/Motel: If there is a demand for lodging in the area, consider building a hotel or motel. Tourists and long-distance travelers often seek comfortable places to stay.

Auto Repair Shop: Set up an auto repair shop or service station. With the highway proximity, you can attract travelers in need of vehicle maintenance or repair services.

Farmers' Market: If the land is suitable for farming, consider starting a farmers' market. You can grow and sell fresh produce, attracting locals and tourists passing through.

Recreational Vehicle (RV) Park: Develop an RV park or campground for travelers looking to spend the night. Offer amenities like hookups, showers, and a common area.

Warehousing/Storage Facility: Depending on the location's zoning regulations, you could build a warehouse or storage facility for businesses in need of storage space.

Outdoor Adventure/Recreation Center: If the area has scenic or natural attractions, consider starting an adventure or recreation center, offering activities like hiking, biking, or guided tours.

Auto Dealership: If you have the capital and market demand, you can consider opening an auto dealership, specializing in used or niche vehicles.

Retail Plaza: Build a small retail plaza with multiple shops for various businesses like a grocery store, pharmacy, coffee shop, and other convenience stores.

Car Wash: A car wash facility can be profitable, as many travelers like to keep their vehicles clean while on the road.

Truck Rental/Leasing: Offer truck rental or leasing services for businesses and individuals needing commercial vehicles for transportation or moving purposes.

Billboard Advertising: If the land is close to a high-traffic area, consider leasing space for billboard advertising. Advertisers often pay for prominent billboard locations.

Solar Farm: If the land is not suitable for other businesses, you could lease it for a solar farm, generating renewable energy and earning income through power generation.

Before starting any business, conduct a thorough market analysis, assess the local competition, and consider the specific needs and preferences of the target audience in your area. Additionally, check local zoning regulations and obtain any necessary permits or approvals before proceeding with your business idea.

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 02, 2025Hindi
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

IIT-JEE, NEET-UG, SAT, CLAT, CA, CS Exam Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Career
My son will be appearing for JEE Main & JEE Advanced 2026 and will participate in JoSAA Counselling 2026. I request clarification regarding the GEN-EWS certificate date requirement for next year. I have already applied for an EWS certificate for current year 2025, and the application is under process. However, I am unsure whether this certificate will be accepted during JoSAA 2026, or whether candidates will be required to submit a fresh certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued on or after 1 April 2026). My concern is that if JoSAA requires a certificate issued after 1 April 2026, students will have only 1–1.5 months to complete the entire procedure, which is difficult considering normal government processing timelines. Also, during current JEE form filling, students are asked to upload a GEN-EWS certificate issued on or after 1 April 2025, or an application acknowledgement. This has created confusion among parents regarding which year’s certificate will finally be valid at the time of counselling. I request your kind guidance on: Which GEN-EWS certificate will be accepted for JoSAA Counselling 2026 — a certificate for FY 2025–26 (issued after 1 April 2025), or a new certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued after 1 April 2026)?
Ans: Hi
You need not worry about the EWS certificate. Even if you apply for the next year's certificate on 1 Apr 2026, the second session of JEE MAINS will still be held, followed by JEE ADVANCED, which will be held in May. JOSAA starts in June. so you will have 2 months in hand for fresh EWS certificate.
