Hi,I am 67 years old man and implanted with pacemaker.I am ok now physically.Before Implanting of pace maker I used to do yoga (basic).Now can I do some yoga

Ans: Namaste
Best would be to start with some basic stretching and sukshmakriyas. Even better would be to start this for some time under the guidance of a teacher. Simple anulom vilom pranayam will add more strength to your lungs and will help oxygenated blood flow into your heart. But I would strongly suggest that you speak to your doctor first.

Ans: HI AISHA,
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!

You are expecting to have a good college life. However, I don't fully understand what constitutes a "good" or "bad" college experience. They don’t teach life skills in college; rather, it’s how you behave during this time that matters. If you act improperly, it could lead to negative consequences.

Studying in college can be compared to a train journey: having a first-class or second-class AC coach is certainly preferable. To secure a spot in a better coach, you need to achieve good grades in school. Your academic performance will determine your rank and, consequently, the programs or branches available to you. If you don’t meet the requirements, you might have to either retake exams or enroll in whatever core courses are open to you.

To increase your job employability, you can pursue additional online programs such as data science or cybersecurity. It seems you are more focused on Rourkela rather than the specific programs available. This suggests that you might just be looking to pass the time.

If you belong to ODISHA, then there are possibilities for Chemical (chances are more being from the home state).
Electrical/Electronics might be possible in special rounds. IS THIS OK FOR YOU?

So don't worry, do participate in the counselling process till you achieve your target.
