I want to persue my masters but because of some health issues i am not able to join regular college should i opt for distance course . Will it be helpful if i am interested in teaching .

Ans: Hey, if you're thinking about becoming a teacher, I recommend going for a traditional in-person course instead of an online or distance learning program. You'll learn better in a regular class setting compared to online courses. So, I suggest pursuing your postgraduate studies through a traditional program

Asked on - Oct 02, 2024 | Answered on Oct 05, 2024

I know that traditional program will be better but my health is a concern here is the prblm . I get sick as i consume food from outside or hostel foods . Cooking everyday will be also a difficult job as one has to attend classes also . Please suggest what will be best as i have also taken year gap bcz of this concern. And if i go for distance learning program will it be a waste or be beneficial for my future.

Ans: "I strongly suggest that you attend regular classes instead of virtual ones. While virtual classes offer many teaching methods, they cannot replace traditional in-person learning. Additionally, you may not receive as much support in virtual classes.

Cooking before attending classes should not be an issue. You have already completed your undergraduate degree and are mature enough to handle this for a maximum of 10 months. In your second year of postgraduate studies, you will be working on a project, so food issues will not be a concern at that time.

To succeed in life, it is important to plan your day in advance. As a woman, cooking should not be an issue.

I cook my food on a daily basis and go to work (working as an associate professor). I handle 3 subjects (chemistry-based) and need to teach for 4-5 hours a day. Compared to students, teachers have to prepare a lot. If I feel stressed about food concerns, it becomes very difficult for me to focus during classes.
So, for better knowledge acquisition, attend regular classes."

Ans: Considering your background you can do a full time MBA. Another option is to try for Executive MBA if you will have more than 5 years experience by next year. There is not much scope of Distance MBA and should be done only if you are not able to leave your job.

Hi, am 28yr old mother from kerala. Due to personal issues i could only finish my studies till +2. Now am willing to continue my studies but confused about what to choose. Should i take degree or anyother courses ?

Ans: Choose a field that genuinely interests you and aligns with your passions. Consider how much time you can dedicate to your studies and whether you need flexibility due to personal commitments. Afterward think about what kind of job or career you envision for yourself and what qualifications are necessary for that path.

1-Skill Development Programs:
Vocational Training: If you're interested in a particular trade or skill, vocational training programs can provide hands-on experience and practical knowledge.

Government Schemes: Look into government initiatives and skill development programs in India that support education and training for various sectors.

2-Diploma and Certificate Courses:
Short-Term Courses: If you prefer a quicker route to enter the workforce or gain specific skills, consider diploma or certificate courses. These can be in various fields such as IT, healthcare, accounting, and more.

Online Courses: Platforms like Coursera, edX, and Udemy offer a wide range of online courses that you can take at your own pace. These are great for upskilling in specific areas without committing to a full degree program.

3-Bachelor's Degree: If you're looking for a comprehensive education and a recognized qualification, pursuing a bachelor's degree could be beneficial. It can open up a wide range of career opportunities and provide a solid foundation in your chosen field.

Distance Learning: Many universities offer distance learning programs, allowing you to study from home and manage your time around your personal commitments.

Based on your preference you can opt from above.

I am a girl who wants to have sex who also a virgin like me..but I already give it to my boyfriend cause I thought his the one but after the cuddle he told me that he already did that on his ex should I accept it??even its hurt to hear??

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
How can someone else tell whether you should or should not accept something? It depends on your values and desires. And what you want does not align with what you got- if that bothers you then you can rethink this. But also consider this one thing- what if your next partner treats you the same way? Would that be okay? Do you think these factors should matter in a relationship? Think hard on this and make your choice.

Hope this helps.

Physiotherapist - Answered on Mar 26, 2025

Question by yusuf - Mar 26, 2025Hindi

SIR MY CHOLESTEROL IS 263, HOW CAN I BRING IT DOWN THROUGH HOME REMEDIES, DIET & EXERCISE ETC.

Ans: Dear Mr. Yusuf. Thank you for your query. Considering I am Physiotherapist, I would answer from Physiotherapist perspective. To lower cholesterol from a physiotherapy perspective, focus on a combination of aerobic exercise, strength training, and flexibility work. Engage in brisk walking, cycling, or jogging for at least 30–45 minutes daily to improve heart health and lipid metabolism. Incorporate strength training 2–3 times a week with bodyweight exercises or weights to enhance muscle mass and fat burning. Avoid prolonged sitting by standing up every 30–45 minutes and engaging your core while working to improve posture and circulation. A fiber-rich diet with whole grains, vegetables, nuts, and lean proteins supports cholesterol reduction while minimizing saturated fats and refined sugars. Managing stress through breathing exercises, yoga, or meditation helps regulate cortisol levels, which can impact cholesterol. Lastly, ensure 7–8 hours of quality sleep daily, as poor sleep can contribute to high cholesterol and metabolic issue. Wish you healthy life.
