Hello Madam. I have been consuming alcohol for last 10+ years, mostly on weekends or on special occasions. But for last 2-3 months, due to some job stability related issues, I was drinking regularly (almost 300 ml). Now for last 3 days I have left drinking successfully. But due to 'withdrawal symptoms' I have not been to sleep at nights and its making me weak also. Pls suggest ways to overcome it. Currently I take Olmezest 40 for BP once daily.

Ans: Please consult a Psychotherapist

I am sixty. Undergo daily 9 to 12 km walk with average calorie burn 600 to 800. I need to take whiskey every night of nearly 150 ml. How can I get rid of alcohol consumption..?

Ans: Whisky is a hard liquor and has more alchohol content. Consuming a large peg every day will add burden to the liver in it's detoxification process. Alchohol detoxifying process is impacted with ageing. So if you consider positive ageing, adding quality to your life tears then please stop hard liquor.

I m struggling with alcoholism....... anxiety and depression for a lot of years

Ans: Dear Yashpal,
Kindly join a centre that runs de-addiction programs. Anxiety and Depression is caused by alcoholism and alcoholism leads to Anxiety and Depression. It's a dangerous cycle that must be broken.
Also, change the circle of friends if you are hanging out with ones who are kind enough to offer you a bottle or encourage your drinking.
Keep your family close to you as you need love and support through this challenging time.
Seek the help of a mental health expert who can support the de-addiction program through other interventions as well.
Step Up and Take Charge of your life NOW!

All the best; you can do this!

I am an early 30 aged man. I have a public job which I can say is a descent one. I am married and have a kid. I can't say I am an alcoholic but in someway my happiness is associated with alcohol. My job requires me to travel a lot and on those days I can do without any drinks. But on my off days I tend to drink like half a bottle of whatever alcohol I desire and the only thing I can say about is I gain happiness from it. On rare occasions I am tipsy. I give my family time and carry out daily chores as usual while at home. On the downside, drinking has made be obese and somewhat ill. But I can't figure out if I want to drop alcohol or not. Because as I said I don't see addiction anywhere in my inclination to alcohol but I derive a strange kind of happiness from it. Can you analyze my situation and give some advice?

Ans: In my humble opinion, it is unhealthy to drink so much. That you feel that your happiness is depending on alcohol rather than life in general may need a little introspection. You are still very young and this much drinking is quite likely to have negative effects on your metabolism, your liver and your heart. It would be a great experiment or try and stay away from alcohol and any other similar mind altering substance for at least a year and see how you can derive happiness/ contentment from other aspects of life.
I would be very interested to know your approach going forward.

In nda form 2025 it is not accepting caste certificate issued date made in 2018 what to do

Ans: Hi,

You need to apply for a new community certificate and submit it when applying for the NDA exam.

Why is this necessary? The certificate you uploaded was obtained in 2018, and since the current year is 2024, it is now outdated. According to state government regulations (which can vary from state to state), the validity of a community certificate is typically a maximum of 5 years, and in some cases, just 1 year. Therefore, your community certificate is no longer valid.

Additionally, there is no reservation in the army. However, having a valid community certificate is important because it allows candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes to be exempt from paying fees. To receive this fee waiver, you must present a valid certificate.

It's also important to note that financial statuses can change every 5 years. Therefore, it is advisable to apply for the new certificate as soon as possible and complete the process by December 31, 2024.

ALL THE BEST.

I am a junior engineer in Railway, although the job is well paid and somewhat secure, but I don't feel belonged to this job. I have lost all interest in the work. I don't like office work pressure. I am working only because of family pressure. I have plan to be freelance teacher for 12th class physics in which I have interest. My parents are not dependent on me. My father is a retired teacher and have his own pension and savings. Is it a wise decision to quit the government job for my happiness?

Ans: Hi Anonymous,
I would suggest not leaving your job immediately. Instead, consider experimenting with your freelance physics classes from class 9 to class 12, this could be quite lucrative if you are a good teacher and have a strong knowledge of physics. Once you receive positive feedback on your teaching style from the market, you can think about leaving your job and pursuing this full-time. Please feel free to connect with me and message me on LinkedIn—I’d be happy to provide further insights.

Hello i am almost 30 now I have invested around 40 lakhs in Market (mutual funds plus equity) 6 lakhs ppf maybe 2 lakhs pf I have parental property of combining around 2.5cr I have my parents helath insurance from a private insurance company, also covered by cghs health scheme,so no major worries about health expenses, for me i have 10lakhs health insurance Apart from this we have family pension also. As of now overall i have a monthly income of around 2-2.25 lakhs. I have a car a bike a scooty all valid for next 8-10 years What should be my goal amount for the retirement, i want it as early as possible As per the current scenario i am assuming i will live max till 75 years age. As of now i can invest 80-90k per month Yet to be married i assume i need atleast Lakhs per month as of now What should be the ideal amount with which i can retire

Ans: Hello;

Hope you have adequate term life insurance for yourself.

You may start a monthly sip of 90 K in a combination of pure equity mutual funds.

After 10 years your sip and lumpsum investment will grow into sums of 2.09 and 1.24 Cr respectively.

This adds upto 3.33 Cr. If you add your ppf and EPF corpus then this should add upto a sum of around 4 Cr.

If you invest this corpus in a conservative hybrid debt fund and do a SWP at the rate of 3.5%, you may expect a post tax monthly income of
1 L+.

As you get married your expenses will rise as also the need to plan for various other goals.

Therefore the decision to retire from regular 9-6 job should be backed up with alternate business plan or such other plan to monetize your hobbies that may yield income over atleast next 10-15 years.

Best wishes;

My cousin got 60 marks in neet ug and 70% marks in 12th.Can he take admission foreign university with this score.Will he be able to cope up with mbbs syllabus.

Ans: Hello dear.
You did not mention his NEET passing year. Yet if it is assumed that he appeared for NEET in 2024, it might be too late to take admission to any foreign university. Please consult with the consulting firms that deal in the admission process to foreign universities. Now related to your query about whether he will cope with the syllabus, will depend upon the ability of the student to do hard work. Even though a student scores less in 12th grade or NEET, if he puts a lot of effort into MBBS, then it is possible for him to excel in the subjects. There is no relation between the subjects of 12th grade and the MBBS syllabus. If your cousin is comfortable with Biology, then he can easily cope with the syllabus.
If satisfied, please like and follow me.
If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
Thanks.

Relationship

Sir mere best friend ka jo ex boyfriend tha uski shadi fixed ho gayi hai. Aur woh meri friend se last time meet karne ke liye bula raha hai. Meri friend mujhse suggestion mang rahi hai infact sath chal ne ke liye bol rahi hai. Please suggest me usse kaise aur kya samjhaun.

Ans: Dear Sonalee,
I am not sure if it's such a good idea to go and meet her ex, but if that's what she needs to do for closure, then other than supporting her, there isn't much you can do. I know it sucks to see our loved ones in pain and making choices that will cause them more pain, but in some cases, we have to let them make their own decisions. Go with her since she is asking you to; look out for any kind of tricky situation and be there for her because it won't be easy.

Best Wishes.
