I am selected for UG, Mechanical Engineering in MIT manipal, and SHIV NADAR UNIVERSITY noida which one should i go ahead with, i want to puruse my PG in GERMANY. PLEASE ADVICE I AM FROM CHENNAI

Ans: Congratulations for your offers from both MIT Manipal and Shiv Nadar University — both are good in their own ways.
Since you’re planning to do your PG in Germany, here are a few things to keep in mind:
• MIT Manipal is well-known for engineering and has a long-standing reputation. It also has a good alumni network, which can help later when you apply abroad.
• Shiv Nadar University is newer but has a good academic setup and research focus.
If you’re looking for better brand recognition and a more established engineering ecosystem, MIT Manipal would be a safer and more familiar choice — especially when applying to German universities later.
Also, since you're from Chennai, Manipal might feel a bit more comfortable in terms of distance and climate too.

Relationship
Hi , I am 26 years old and married for four months now , I have a good relationship with my husband and in laws while staying in their home. My parents stay at a distance of 30 mins from my in laws home , while my parents expect me to be with them at least two days a week , I have tried to cut the days down. Now I am with my husband but as my father went out of the station for 5-6 days and my mom can't stay alone , I want to go and support her. Is that correct? I am with my husband from past 8 days nonstop n didn't go to my parents, now if I go it seems to have a problem with my in laws as they think I am going to my home very often
Ans: Wanting to support your mother while your father is away is not just correct — it’s deeply human. She’s alone, and your presence may be emotionally and practically important for her right now. At the same time, it’s understandable that your in-laws may feel a bit sensitive if they perceive frequent visits as a lack of “settling” into their family. But this isn’t about frequency — it’s about transparency and intention.

Rather than asking for permission or sneaking around the discomfort, try being open and respectful in your communication. You could say something like: “My mom is alone for a few days while dad is out of town, and she’s not comfortable being alone — so I’d like to stay with her just to support her emotionally. I’ve been here continuously and want to return soon after this short visit.”

When your in-laws see that you are considerate and not abandoning your responsibilities, but simply being a good daughter too, they’re more likely to understand. Over time, your consistency and maturity will build trust.

It’s also okay to gently help your in-laws understand that both families are important to you — and your presence in each doesn’t threaten your role in the other.
