Hi, I'd like to be anonymous. Over the past couple of years, I’ve started noticing fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes and mouth area, and it’s making me feel self-conscious. I have regular meetings and client interactions. I work as a senior manager in a marketing firm in Bangalore. I’ve been considering options to smoothen my skin, but I’m confused if I should go for non-invasive procedures like Botox or fillers or opt for a more permanent solution like a facelift. I’m 42 years old. Looking forward to your suggestions.

Ans: Hi.. The first step is to decide in your mind whether you want mild changes or s drastic change.
2nd step is to discuss with the specialist whether a drastic change is possible or not and how would it look. ( A plastic surgeon may be best suited for this job).
After this you can decide.
On the otherside, if there are a lot of loose skin and you do only minimal change by non invasive method, you may not be satisfied with the results.

So a good thought should go into it and good and candid discussion with ur doctor is required

Hello madam, I m 38y male. As per people,Till 37yrs age I used to look younger than my age but now I look older than my age. My face glow gone, Winkles on face, Dark pouches under eyes, soggy skin, paper skin, also some kind of white mark on both cheeks. I don't lm teetotaller, no junk food, mostly fruits in breakfast, practice yoga but no regularity. Sought advice from dermatologist who asked for Botox treatment n filler treatment which I don't want. Got tested for blood(b12 insufficient,Vit D insufficient). Kindly guide.

Ans: Midlife is a turn point where however we lived earlier it starts reflecting on the physical health as our life is falling into reserve, and our growth is, stopped and regeneration is declining.
So ageing process gets accelerated or delayed depending upon this.
Address your insufficient Vit D through effective Sunlight exposure
Look in to your lifestyle and see where you can bring in changes

Hi Dr Anshuman, I’ve been struggling with uneven skin texture and some pigmentation around my cheeks and forehead for a while now. I’ve tried a few over-the-counter products, but nothing seems to give lasting results. I am 29 and I work as a fashion stylist in Mumbai. I have clients who have suggested laser treatments, microneedling, and chemical peels as potential solutions, but I’m not sure if they would suit my skin. How effective are these treatments? What would be the approx cost? I’m looking for something that gives good results without too much downtime or risk.

Ans: These treatments which you mentioned do work provided right kind of treatment is chosen. Cost depends on the condition and the treatment used.
Please visit a qualified expert and discuss.
Over the counter medicines may not help as they generally hv very less concentration of medicines..

My son got seat in SRM in cse gaming is there good placement in this field.

Ans: Anoj, if your son is genuinely interested in this branch, he can pursue this. SRM has good overall placements. However, separate branch?wise CSE Gaming statistics are not publicly broken out in official reports; most data is aggregated under CSE/Computer Science, so gaming?specific roles (game dev, QA, and tools) exist but are embedded in the broader CSE?placement pool.

I have 25k rank in AEEE and home state quota in Kerala, Can i get admission for Ai and data science

Ans: With AEEE rank around 25,000 + Kerala home-state quota, AI & Data Science at Amritapuri is difficult, because recent trend data shows AID closing much earlier than 25k, even for home-state slabs. Amrita confirms B.Tech admission is through AEEE/JEE + CSAP counselling.

Still, fill choices broadly: AI & Data Science, CSE-AI, Cyber Security, ECE, ELC, and EEE at Amritapuri, plus Amaravati/Faridabad/Nagercoil/Haridwar if acceptable. Have the backups of KEAM Kerala counselling, private Kerala/Tamil Nadu colleges, and Amrita lower-demand branches. The AI/Data Science chance improves only if vacancy/fee slab extends significantly.

Hi Sir, I got Intermediate marks : 991 Jee mains percentile: 94.01 TGEAPCET :65 Marks VITEE : 12774 RANK BITSAT : 196Marks ..aiming for 300 next phase Wrote ugee well, Applied for amrita in jee mains quota Applied for sastra Suggest me next move..like which college suits me..i am looking forward for CSE and ECE PLEASE HELP ME

Ans: Best next steps are keep BITSAT Phase-2 as highest priority. At 196, BITS CSE/ECE is difficult, but 300+ can open ECE/EEE and maybe better options (scoring 300+ from 160 will be highly challenging; still, you must try). With JEE 94.01 percentile, top NIT/IIIT CSE is unlikely, but try JoSAA/CSAB for lower IIIT/GFTI branches. Your VITEEE 12,774 gives good chances for VIT Chennai/AP/Bhopal CSE-related and possible non-core options at Vellore. Amrita through JEE is worth trying through CSAP, as Amrita accepts AEEE/JEE scores. SASTRA is strong because 991 Intermediate marks help, since admission uses JEE + Class 12 weightage. Prefer: BITS if 300+ > VIT/Amrita CSE > SASTRA CSE/ECE > TG EAPCET options. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

I got vit Rank 60625 can I get ece in vit ap category 1

Ans: Abhinay, With VITEEE rank 60,625, ECE at VIT-AP Category 1 is unlikely. Recent trend sources indicate VIT-AP ECE Category 1 may close around 50,000, while higher categories may extend further. Still, you must try. Better preference order: ECE Category 2/3 > ECE VLSI/Embedded > Electronics & Computer Engineering > EEE > Mechanical/Robotics. Keep VIT Bhopal/AP alternate branches and state counselling/private colleges as backup. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Sir I have got 70210 rank in VITEEE which college I get it I want to pursue cse with which category. Also I got 427736 rank in jee mains, can I get good government or private college for femalefrom Rajasthan, obc category.

Ans: With VITEEE rank 70,210, CSE core is unlikely at Vellore/Chennai, but VIT-AP or VIT Bhopal CSE/CSE specialisation may be possible, mostly in higher fee categories, likely Category 3–5 depending on vacancy. With JEE Main CRL 4,27,736, OBC female, Rajasthan, NIT/IIIT/GFTI CSE chances through JoSAA are almost nil. You can try CSAB Special Round, but expect only very low-demand GFTI branches, if any. Have 4-5 other reputed private colleges as backups including REAP Rajasthan counselling, RTU/Kota-affiliated private colleges, JECRC, Poornima, SKIT, Manipal Jaipur, and Amity Jaipur.

Career

My daughter got 57194 in vitee. She wants ece in vellore or chennai. Whats the probablity?

Ans: Rashmi Madam, With VITEEE rank 57,194, ECE at VIT Vellore is difficult and should be treated as low probability. ECE at VIT Chennai is also not easy but may have a small chance in higher fee categories if seats remain during her counselling phase. VIT counselling is rank-, choice-, category- and seat-availability based; rank 45,001–70,000 fall in Phase 3 choice filling. Best preference order: Chennai ECE > Vellore ECE > Chennai EEE/ECM/Mechatronics > Vellore EEE > VIT-AP/Bhopal ECE/CSE-related. Keep backup options (4-5 other reputed private colleges) ready because ECE demand is usually high. All the Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Question by Amit - May 11, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir, my son has secured 12300+ rank in SRM JEEE 2026 and 70000+ rank in VITEEE. Is there possibility of getting CSE core or CSE AI/ ML in SRM KTR campus... Also pls share that what options I can get in VIT Chennai on this rank ( VIT Vellore seems very tough to get on this rank)...What branch should I fill as preference in VIT Chennai... I can get CSE core in VIT AP but not willing to join there... So should I prefer KTR campus with CS or VIT Chennai with branch other than CS ( as I will not get CSE there)...thanks in advance.

Ans: Amit Sir, at SRMJEEE, 12,300+ SRM KTR CSE core is doubtful, but CSE-AI/ML, Data Science, Cloud, Big Data, CSBS, or AI may be possible depending on vacancy/phase. SRM officially offers these KTR CS options.

At VITEEE 70,000+, VIT Chennai CSE/ECE are unlikely. You can fill EEE, Mechanical, Mechatronics/Robotics, Civil, Fashion/Design-related tech options if available in higher categories. Vellore is tougher.

My preference: SRM KTR CS-related branch > VIT Chennai non-CS > VIT-AP CSE, only if there is no objection. Backups you can have are SRM Ramapuram/Vadapalani CS and 4-5 other reputed private colleges in and around your State. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!
