I'm a 40-year-old woman struggling with bloating and poor digestion. Are there specific yoga poses or kriyas that can improve my gut health?
Ans: Bloating and poor digestion are common but can improve with yoga and simple kriyas. Yoga helps by stimulating your digestive organs, improving blood flow, and reducing stress, which often affects gut health.

Here are some yoga poses and kriyas for better digestion:

Wind-Relieving Pose (Pavanamuktasana): Lie on your back, bring your knees to your chest, and gently hug them. This pose helps release gas and soothes your stomach.

Cat-Cow Stretch (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana): On all fours, alternate between arching your back (Cow) and rounding it (Cat). This movement massages the abdominal organs and improves digestion.

Seated Twist (Ardha Matsyendrasana): Sit with one leg crossed over the other, then twist your upper body. Twists stimulate the digestive system and release toxins.

Kapalabhati (Skull Shining Breath): This kriya involves rapid exhalations and helps cleanse your digestive tract. Practice for 2-3 minutes daily, preferably on an empty stomach.

Relaxation: End with 5-10 minutes in Corpse Pose (Savasana) to calm your mind and reduce stress, which often worsens bloating.

For safe and effective practice, consult a yoga coach who can guide you with proper techniques. Personalized guidance will bring better results.

We two brothers have inherited a property on 200 sq yard by registered will of our father in 2020. The property was purchased by our father in 1970 and redeveloped in 1990 into three story building. Ground floor is with my brother and first floor. Third floor without roof rights was sold by our father at the time of redevelopment . Me and my brother have terrace rights as per registered will of our father ( each has 50% roof/ terrace rights). My brother is US citizen and want to sell his share for four crores. The expected rental income from the ground floor will be Rupees 60 thousand per month. The circle rate of the property is Rupees 7 lakh per yard. My interest in the ground floor of the property is mainly to live peacefully without any interference by unknown new buyer. I am 65 and my question is from financial point should I purchase from my brother by paying Rs. 4 crore or keep the amount in bank as fixed deposit/ RBI bonds at around 8 percent per year. Second question is if he sell it to other buyer how he will sell terrace as the terrace is undivided and we both have inherited it by registered will. Thirdly there are many builders who want to redevelop the property into four floor with basement and stilt parking. What will be the right option . I have only son .
Ans: Dear Friend,
If you’re considering whether to purchase your brother’s share of the inherited property for ?4 crore, weigh peace of mind against financial returns. Buying his share gives you full control, eliminates potential disputes with a third-party buyer, and ensures no interference in your peaceful living. However, the rental yield of ?60,000/month (~1.8% annual return) is significantly lower than the ~8% return you could get by investing ?4 crore in fixed deposits or bonds, which would generate ~?2.67 lakh/month.

Regarding the terrace, your brother cannot sell his 50% share independently since it is undivided and jointly inherited. Any sale requires your consent, limiting his ability to transfer full terrace rights to a new buyer.

Redevelopment of the property is an excellent option, offering increased value and rental income. Builders are likely to provide additional floors or cash components in exchange for development rights, enhancing long-term financial benefits and ensuring modern amenities.

If your priorities are peace of mind and control over the property, purchase your brother’s share. Otherwise, invest in safer financial instruments and consider redevelopment to maximise the property’s potential. Consult a lawyer and financial advisor to ensure the best decision. Your Financial adviser can deeply evaluate all your assets and liabilities and provide a solution which will give you more leverage.

Myself and my sister as joint owner of a property enteredvinto joint development agreementvwith a builder for construction of 8 flats in 4800 sq. Ft land. 2400 sq. Ft was retained for us with 4 flats constructed by builder to be given free of cost and 2400 sq. Ft UDS sold to builder thro PGPA for him to sell 4 flats. After selling 3 flats with 1800 sq. ft UDS by builder, we cancelled GPA and registered with SRO for retaing 600 Sq. ft UDS for our use with the consent agreeing to pay compensation for this cancel of GPA. Now I want clarification as to the ownership of the above said cancelled UDS of 600 Sq. ft as Joint owner or myself as per Joint developement agreement with a rider that myself will take possessionof 600 UDS by cancelling GPA later with builder and paying compensation st the mutually ahreed price. Builder says that myself is the owner for the cancelled 600 Sq. ft retained. I want to know whether I hv to register settlement deed for partingvwith 600 Sq. ft UDS by my sister or the statement of builder as myself will be the owner for 600 UDS regisyeted by cancelling GPA signed by the builder and both of us. Pl. Clarify.
Ans: Dear G,
The ownership of the 600 sq. ft. UDS (Undivided Share of Land) depends on the terms of the Joint Development Agreement (JDA) and the GPA cancellation deed. As per the JDA, the builder agreed to transfer the 600 sq. ft. UDS to you after GPA cancellation in return for compensation. If the GPA cancellation deed and subsequent agreements clearly state that this UDS belongs solely to you and these are registered with the Sub-Registrar’s Office (SRO), you are the legal owner. However, if your sister’s name still appears as a co-owner in the original title deed, you will need her to execute a **Settlement Deed** or **Gift Deed** in your favor, which must be registered to confirm your sole ownership and avoid disputes. The builder’s statement that you are the owner is valid only if it aligns with the registered documents. To confirm ownership, verify the SRO records to ensure the transfer has been legally recorded. If any gaps exist, consult a property lawyer to review the JDA, GPA cancellation deed, and builder’s agreement to ensure proper registration of ownership and resolve any ambiguity. This will safeguard your rights and provide clarity regarding the 600 sq. ft. UDS.

Hi sir/mam, I'm 32 years old working in a private firm as Manager. I own 9 lacs in FDs, accumulated 17 lacs in Mutual funds through SIP of around 23k pm (currently XIRR at 15-16% in with 75% in equity). I also have 2.5 lacs in PPF and 1.2 lacs in NPS. For tax savings I do yearly investments in PPF and NPS of about 1 lacs and rest I cover with ELSS (part of my SIPs). I want to retire at the age of 50, my current salary is 1.2 lac per month in hand, and receive few incentives of 1.5 lac a yr. I live in Mumbai with my wife and plan to buy a house of 60 lacs (out of which 20 L I'm borrowing from family, and rest of it will be loan with about 35k EMI). I also have a flat in NCR worth 80 L (purchased at 35 lacs), for which I have an EMI of 11k per month which is covered by rent I receive from there. I don't have kids yet, but I plan to have two of them. What should be my plan of investing that I can retire by max between 50 and 55 yrs of age with an upper middle class lifestyle in either Mumbai or NCR. How much should my corpus be? My current expenses are around 60k including rent in Mumbai, and my parents are independent. I have both health and life insurance of 1 cr+ cover.
Ans: Dear Friend,
To retire comfortably at 50-55 with an upper-middle-class lifestyle, you’ll need a retirement corpus of ?5 crore. Currently, your mutual funds, PPF, and NPS are projected to grow to ~?1.82 crore by 50. To bridge the gap of ?2.18 crore, increase your SIPs by ?30,000/month in equity funds, which can grow to ~?2.25 crore at 12% CAGR in 18 years. Prioritize repaying the ?20 lakh family loan after buying the Mumbai house, ensuring the ?35,000 EMI doesn’t hinder your additional investments. Post-retirement, rely on rental income from your NCR property and a 4% systematic withdrawal strategy from your corpus to cover inflation-adjusted expenses. Maintain ?5-6 lakhs in an emergency fund and continue tax-saving investments like ELSS, PPF, and NPS. Regularly review and rebalance your portfolio to stay aligned with your goals. With disciplined savings and investments, you’re on track for a secure retirement.
