I am 43 years old male, vegetarian. My intake of fruits is good, but a lot of my friends are taking multivitamins tablets these days. My question is that if it is okay to take multivitamins tabs on a daily basis. Any side effects thatI should be aware of

Ans: Vitamins and Minerals are better taken in a natural form as one advances in age .Because synthetic forms of Supplements has less bio availability and may not be absorbed well into the system.If food sources are not available or if one cannot avail the food then we can think of a supplement .Even then the supplement should be from a natural source

Hi KomalIs taking vitamin C tablet every alternate day enough to boost immunity? Or should it be taken daily? Are there any side effects of taking them daily?Kavish

Vitamin C is an essential antioxidant which helps increase our immunity.

Including natural sources of Vitamin C like lemons, amla, citrus fruits and vegetables in your diet will be more beneficial as it is well absorbed compared to tablet forms.

There is a daily Vitamin C requirement for our body which needs to be met.

So having sources of Vitamin C on alternate days will not be adequate.

Sir, My son is not interested in computer related jobs. However, he has deep interest in physics. Based on his choice, he likes two engineering branches (from good/reputed institute (like VIT/Thapar Institute) - Either Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering. So, please suggest regarding the following queries. (1) From package/salary point of view, which one would be better - Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering (Considering, having job in core sector)? (2) From profession growth point of view, which one would be better - Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering (Considering, having job in core sector)? Please suggest from short and long term perspective.

Ans: If he wants stable government jobs (PSUs like ISRO, DRDO, BHEL, ONGC, BEL, etc.) → Both ME and ECE are equally good.

If he wants a high-paying career in India (private sector) → ECE is better (VLSI, semiconductor, telecom are booming).

If he wants international opportunities (Germany, US, Japan) → Mechanical is good for automotive/aerospace, but ECE is better for semiconductors.

If he is interested in future technology (Quantum, AI hardware, 6G, IoT, Chip Design) → ECE has a clear edge.

If he enjoys hands-on work (machinery, engines, aerodynamics) → Mechanical suits him better.

For best career growth and salary: ECE (core sector like VLSI, 5G, semiconductor, telecommunications, embedded systems).

For passion in classical physics and machines: ME (with specialization in Robotics, Aerospace, or Renewable Energy).

Sir, I have scored 97.01 percentile in JEE mains 2025 session-1 I belong to ST category and my domicile state is rajasthan what are the chances of getting top 5 NIT's CSE branch

Ans: Given your estimated ST category rank of approximately 1,400, securing a CSE seat in these top NITs may be challenging.
You may get NIT Hamirpur, NITs at north eastern states.
As a Rajasthan domicile candidate, you have the advantage of the home state quota at Malaviya National Institute of Technology (MNIT) Jaipur.

Sir I got 97.88 percentile in JEE MAINS 2025 .I am OBC NCL candidate with home state u p. Can I get CS in top NIT or IIIT. Or should I take electrical in top NIT or IIIT. Can you suggest me something best about it.

Ans: Congratulations on achieving a 97.88 percentile in JEE Main 2025! Securing a seat in CSE at top NITs such as NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, or NIT Surathkal is highly competitive, and typically requires a higher percentile than 97.88. However, you may have a chance at obtaining a CSE seat in some of the newer or less competitive NITs and IIITs. For instance, IIIT Lucknow and IIIT Kota have had closing ranks around your range in previous years.
If you are more inclined towards Computer Science, it might be worth pursuing it in a newer institute. Conversely, if you have an interest in Electrical Engineering, securing a seat in a more established NIT could be advantageous.

Relationship

After my mother's death, my father (54 years old) is involved in extra marital affair with an unmarried neighbour girl (25). Nobody knows about their affair except our family. Me (23) & my sister (21) tried our best to make my father understand that this is not the right time to do all these things, but he is not listening to us & not ready to understand. It seems useless for him to have affair with her because there is no future of this relationship. Age gap is also huge. Her parents also don't know about it. Neither we can tell about it to them, because they will target our family & ruin our life. They can also file police complain against our whole family if they gets to know about it. I am sure they will also deny this relationship. Took our relatives help too, but it didn't work. Don't know what to do. Can you please help ??

Ans: Hello mam..This could be a part of mid life crisis and he could feel this extra marital affair to be coping mechanism after trauma, your mother's death. Your father should definitely think about his children and their future. Are you and your sister working or studying? I would like to know a little further about your present status so that i can suggest you something better.
Kindly do reply.

Ans: Hello sir. Plz have some patience. I understand that this is an important aspect of relationship but not the only aspect. It could be a reaction to some trauma also. Take some private time and sit with your wife. And politely try to figure out the problem. Take her some time. Have some patience. Let her be comfortable with you again. Everything will come to normal. Take care!
