i am 54 years aged. choestrol 168, sugar 118, ggpt 55 . any advice

Ans: It is unclear if blood sugar levels of 118 mg/dl are fasting or post prandial levels. If it is fasting, then it is indicative of diabetes. Also, please expand on ggpt,; whether it is Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) or Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase(SGPT). To control blood sugar levels, include a variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats in your diet. Choose healthier carbs such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes and whole grains over refined grains. Avoid foods high in added sugars and refined carbohydrates, such as sugary drinks, baked goods, and white bread. These can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels. Follow a regular exercise schedule and eat at regular intervals.

Question by varsha - Mar 04, 2026

Career

My husband is out of job since the past 4 years after we came to India following COVID. He was working as Senior Accountant in Dubai and after his company's layoff we shifted base to India. Thought he joined two jobs for a very short time he quit and has been since only applying for job opportunities. Unfortunately he has not been receiving any calls for any interview nor has made any attempts to personally look for any job. I have ever since joined work and is the only breadwinner of the family.My husband doesn't want to contribute anything to the household expenditure except for daughters school fees.He is of the opinion that he has done his contribution earlier when he was working and as I am working need to be responsible for the family. Considering all the circumstances I am confused as none of my advice has any affect on his behaviour. Please advise

Ans: Hi!!
It is nice to know that he is contributing towards the fees of his children! Have you asked him how he is managing it?
The financial responsibility is on both the partners… it doesn’t matter who is at home and who is working. You sit across and discuss how much money comes in and how much money goes out. The how and why of savings for the future is also a joint venture!!
Now with this background decide whether it is enough if one of you works and the other manages everything at home. Segregate work, share responsibility.
Losing a job can be very hard on mental well being, then not finding a fulfilling job can worsen it.
Check whether your husband is truly unwilling to find a job or he has gotten comfortable/ lazy sitting at home.
I am sure you have been married long enough to sit across and talk lovingly with concern and care, and come up with solutions.
Please do not nag…
If nothing works, seek help of a professional!!

I am 43, single, looking for a lifetime partner. I got married at 28, but within two years, things didn't work out and we had to file for divorce. It was very painful because I had done everything to make the marriage work. It took me 5 years to heal from the guilt and trauma and find myself again. Even today when i meet a potential date, I find myself doubting the guy's every move. It could be a survival mechanism, but it is not letting me trust anyone. How do I work around this and find a relationship where I feel secure and confident?

Ans: Hi!!

I can understand what you are feeling!!
The solution to your lack of trust cannot be solved in a jiffy or what I write here. Let’s sit across and find solutions together!
Let’s work together to make you confident and make you feel secure when it comes to relationships again!!

There's one guy in my office who is always very loud - constantly cracking jokes, laughing loudly, and trying to get everyone around him involved. He'0000s not exactly doing anything wrong, and personally I don't have any major issue with him, but after a point the noise and constant attention-seeking behavior starts becoming a bit irritating and distracting. I also don't want to sound rude or overly sensitive because others seem to casually go along with it. How do you deal with someone like this professionally without creating awkwardness or office tension?

Ans: Hi!!
This guy however he is … it’s his problem!
Like you said he is not doing anything wrong. We all need such ppl in the office to add colour to life, take it that way.
I can understand your frustration regarding
the noise levels in the office. Do put in a word about this to the office administrator, don’t go alone to report it… build consensus and three or four of you together to report about the noise levels.
If this doesn’t work then just try to use ear pods to cancel the noises!
Whatever it is let this person not affect your efficiency, don’t give him so much importance. Focus on your efficiency at work.
All the very best!

My wife doesn't like dogs. I have two dogs who are like family to me. She screams and disrespects them saying she is scared of them. I am feeling very betrayed because I had mentioned this condition while sending our proposal to her family. It was also written in my matrimonial profile that we have two dogs who stay with us. We rejected so many proposals for this very reason but the family including my wife ignored it and now it is affecting our marriage. It has only been two months and I have to keep my dogs on a leash for the first time. They are deeply hurt and affected. I respect her too but how do I explain to her that my dogs are safe? Everyone in my family is equally concerned but my in-laws feel that dogs should be treated as pets not family. I strongly disagree. If my partner cannot accept my dogs, would it be right to file for divorce? Please help.

Ans: Hi!!
I can empathise with this whole situation at your home!
Let’s start tackling each issue that you have mentioned one by one…
1. There is surely a breach of trust here bfr marriage.. you did mention that your pets are an integral part of the family… you need to sit down and discuss this… find a common ground.This discussion is between you and your wife only.
2. Ask the in- laws to stay out of the discussion about how your family treats pets.
3. Take the pets out of the scenario and check the equation between you and your wife. How much value you attach to this relationship and each other? What lengths will both of you go to ensure that this partnership works?
If it’s a win - win situation, then sit down and chalk out a plan to make it work…
5. Both of you be part of solutions….ask her what was she expecting from you knowing that you are a pet lover and this was a precondition for marriage, yet she went ahead and got married to you…
6.There is no black and white solution here… I am also thinking aloud as I write to you…
After all the heart to heart talk… tell her that tying the dogs is not an option.. they are like children to you! Ask her to come up with solutions… tell her you want the marriage to work..you also from your end try to make her comfortable slowly get her used to the dogs, show her that they are harmless. The fear of dogs can be taken away slowly… consult a psychologist/ marriage counsellor to help you out if your efforts don’t yield results!
7. It’s been just 02 months. Both of you try to make the marriage work . You are both equally responsible for this marriage!!

All the very best!

My son scored 96.79 jee main rank 50629 has got VIT Vellore CSE category 2 has thapar cse patiala (COPC) and bitsat score of 232 .general delhi domicile. LNMIT jaipur awaited . What should we take has interest in cse

Ans: For pure CSE interest, Thapar Patiala COPC offers a strong branch fit and excellent placements. VIT Vellore Category-2 is also a great option, providing quality education at a more affordable cost compared to higher categories. LNMIIT CSE is a good choice but still pending confirmation. With a BITSAT score of 232, admission is more likely in an MSc or lower branch rather than CSE. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Sir, my daughter has been allocated vit Ap, cs&bs. is it a good choice, in cat 2. Can we wait for comedk counselling with rank of 26249 and met rank 20430 for any CS branch allocation . TIA

Ans: Arunajatesan Sir, VIT-AP is safer because of the confirmed CS-related seat, the VIT brand and centralized placements. At COMEDK 26,249, CS/AI/ISE may come only in mid-/lower-Karnataka colleges, not top Bengaluru colleges. At MET 20,430, expect mostly MUJ CS-related/lower MIT options, so use only as a backup.
