Dr. I am taking Glyxambi 25 mg once a day and cyblex three times a day. Price of Glyxambi is increasing every quarter at present price is 891 rupees can you suggest alternative medicine for Glyxambi

Ans: There are several cheaper substitutes. You can go to any of the pharmacy websites like Tata 1mg for example and look up Glyxambi. on that page, look up 'view all substitutes'. This would give you all the different options. Alternatively, you can go to generic medications store and they will be able to give you even cheaper substitutes, either in the same combination or as separate pills.

Question by Ajay - Mar 07, 2025Hindi

Relationship

I am 30 years old, I don't have a father. I have a family consisting of a brother, mother, wife and a 1 year old daughter. My wife and I always fight. In every fight my brother in law and mother in law interfere in every matter. They keep my wife's ego high. My wife also doesn't listen to me and listens to her mother. I am fed up with the fights. My wife behaves stubbornly. What should I do? Please tell me a solution...

Ans: What if the real issue isn’t the fights themselves, but the pattern they keep following? Every argument seems to have the same players, the same reactions, and the same outcome. But if nothing changes, where does that leave you? When emotions take over, who holds the power in the conversation - you or the reaction? If external voices are shaping your marriage, how much space is left for your own voice?
You can’t control how others behave, but you do control how you respond. If the same approach keeps leading to conflict, what would happen if you changed the way you engage? Would setting boundaries feel different if they came from a place of clarity rather than frustration? Would communication shift if the goal was to understand rather than to win?
The question isn’t just how to stop the fights - it’s how to break the cycle. Where do you start?
Wishing you success,

Question by Kishor - Mar 09, 2025Hindi

Money

i have 90 shares of nippon denro ispat limited company.how much shares of jsw steel may i get

Ans: Hello;

In 2012 when these two companies merged agreed swap ratio was 1:72.

I.e. 1 share of JSW Steel for every 72 shares of Nippon Ispat. The balance 18 shares of Nippon Ispat will be paid in cash as per the market price prevailing during the merger.

Further in 2017 JSW Steel split its share at 1:10 ratio.

So you may have 10 shares of JSW Steel.

Best wishes;

Career

I am currently in class 10th icse and need to choose a subject for further studies. What should I choose in 11th? I don't have any particular interest so i thought to choose commerce,business studies, accounting,economics or maths. So which career options do i have or what other stream I can choose. I don't particularly like physics and chemistry. Also, I have a choice between economics/maths or economics and maths in commerce stream.

Ans: Hello,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am happy to hear that you are currently studying in the 10th grade. Given that you do not like physics and chemistry, I would like to tell you that opting for the commerce stream is a wise decision. With commerce, business studies, accounting, and economics, you can embark on careers in finance, business management, banking, company secretary (CS), marketing, chartered accountancy (CA), and entrepreneurship. Opting for economics and mathematics together opens up more alternatives, including data analysis, actuarial science, and finance-related employment. Proficiency in mathematics and economics can also enhance your prospects of studying abroad for business, finance, or economics-related degrees in leading colleges.

Hello..can you pls guide me after dummy schools getting closed all over india.Institutes are starting INTEGRATED PROGRAM with school i mean it was started long time ago..my question is ..IS IT SAFE TO JOIN INTEGRATED PROGRAM ,how about some day they might be considered illegal by cbse ?where our child will go?,WHAT IS THE SUCCESS RATE in getting into entrance exams by joining these integrated jee or neet courses??which is better for jee REGULAR COACHING...AKASH DWARKA,VMC DWARKA,PHYSICS WALAAH DWARKA ? ?pls guide ..

Ans: Hello Dear.
Here is the point-wise reply to your question: (1) It is safe to join an integrated program. (2) This is a legal process and there is no role of CBSE in this integration. (3) Success depends upon the hard work of the student. Many students achieve success without joining any coaching center or even test batch (4) We are unable to suggest one of the names of a coaching center as every coaching center has its working style. Some like and some dislike it. It is better to ask the students of both these coaching centers, take a brief review, and then choose the one that is suitable to you from all angles. Best of luck for your future.
