Hi, I am 49 years old and my HbA1c is 6.2. I am taking medicine DYNAGLIPT-M once in afternoon as per doctor advice. I am walking approx 30 mins in morning. What is good time to take Ayurvedic medicine like Himalaya's Karela or Meshashringi. I would like to control more in the natural way. My mother had diabetes and she passed away with the complications at age of 65 with kidney failure.

Ans: Namaste!
I am so sorry to hear about your mother and I appreciate the fact that you are already doing as much as you can to keep this disease away. You seem to be in the prediabetes range at the moment. Here four things you can do immediately:
1. Stop all grains like rice and wheat and switch to eating millets like amaranth, ragi, bajra, barley and jowar.
2. Completely stop sweets. No sugar, no jaggery, no honey. Whatever you get from fruits should be only sweet that you consume.
3. Practice simple yogic sukshma kriyas or warm up exercises every single day for at least 25 minutes.
4. Practice silence for at least 10 minutes a day. Sit quietly and just watch your breath. This will help you calm the mind instantly and your health will automatically improve.
As far as medicines are concerned, please consult a good Ayurveda expert.

Career
Hi. I am currently 29. Married with no kids. Wife not earning. Planning for a kid this year. Monthly earning 60k post tax. Have savings of 2 lakhs. Have personal loan of 9 lakhs. Monthly expenses 40k including emi's. I have lost interest in job and I don't want to work anymore. I want to do business which can give monthly 50 to 60k income. Max I can invest 2lakhs. Is there any business which I can start with 2 lakhs and generate monthly income of 60k ? I am frustrated with working under an employer. I want to start my own venture. Please suggest.
Ans: Spandan, pause before you mail the resignation.

Your maths
60 k take-home
40 k spends (15 k of that is EMI on a 9 L loan)
→ 20 k buffer

A newborn will nudge monthly costs up by 8-10 k. Cash cushion shrinks fast.

So the plan must earn while you learn, not leap blind.

Keep the paycheck six more months.
Use evenings to test micro-ideas. Risk stays capped at ?0 for now.

Choose a “cash-this-month” niche, not a moon-shot.
Pick work that turns inventory ≤ ?50 k into sales inside 30 days.

Tiffin + office snacks (two dishes, 40 boxes) - ?25 k utensils, ?10 k FSSAI, ?5 k flyers - ?120 per box × 40 = ?4.8 k /day

Amazon / Flipkart reselling (phone cases, cables) ?40 k stock, ?15 k ads 25 % net margin on ?2 L monthly sales = ?50 k

Weekend print-on-demand & personalised gifting kiosk ?45 k heat-press kit (other options are there too) ?300 profit per mug × 200 pcs → ?60 k Bring Your Mug - Take Away Memories.

Local social-media management for clinics & salons ?0 gear, ?3 k Canva Pro ?8 k-?12 k per client; 6 clients hit target

None need heavy staff or rent. All can run beside your day job.

Set one simple goal: ?15 k profit by Day-30.
Hit it twice, raise target to ?35 k. Only when side income beats salary three months straight do you quit.

This is critical - Plug leaks early. Refinance personal loan to longer tenor; shave EMI to ~?10 k.

Park 1 L of savings in an emergency account—no touch.Skill up tiny, daily.
Watch a YouTube on ad copy, take a WhatsApp course on GST filings. Low cost, immediate payback.

Start small, sell fast, reinvest every rupee. Freedom comes, but by steps, not by one loud jump.
