Question by Sarika on Nov 11, 2020Hindi

Health

Hi
Different people at home want different things to eat.
**If I make bhajiyas for my children, my in-laws eat too which is not good.
My husband has gained weight.
I am fed up of planning menus.
How can I make healthy food for all and keep the family happy?
Sarika**

Ans:

I honestly sympathise with you about catering to everyone’s palate.

It is a mundane task to prepare individual dishes for different family members.

But you are the focal point, the queen of the kitchen, who can best decide what your family eats.

Though indulgence occasionally is fine, be firm with all.

Make them aware of the long term consequences of eating unhealthy food.

Lure them by including healthy foods like fruits, nuts, curd, etc, during the mid-meals/snacks time rather than unhealthy savouries.

Use healthy fats while cooking like olive oil, mustard oil, coconut oil or canola oil which are heart-healthy.

Butter and ghee are rich in saturated fats which we should not consume in large portions. But they are rich sources of Vitamins A, D, E and K.

Thus, overall consumption of fat should be monitored.

Make a variety of dishes with these healthy fats, less sugar and minimal salt.

Overall health can be maintained by incorporating healthy lifestyle habits and a good fitness regimen.

Question by Rakesh - Sep 13, 2021Hindi

Health

Dear Komal,During the pandemic, one of the few things that can alleviate boredom or stress is food.We tend to order out a lot and it is now showing in our physique.Not ordering food is not an option. How do we order food that is healthy and tasty?We most order non-veg, though we eat veg food as well.Rakesh

The pandemic has led to lethargy in today’s lifestyle although there are many who have explored their culinary skills.

Eating healthy includes having whole grain cereals and legumes, more vegetables, fruits and nuts, etc, to include the healthy fibre component.

While eating outside, make sure these foods are added in the meal.

Include low fat foods like roasted, baked or boiled lean meat, sauteed vegetables, etc.

Avoid fatty foods, fast foods, savouries, sweets, chocolates, desserts, packaged foods, etc. Make sure you remain well hydrated and focus on portion size.

Question by Farzana - Dec 14, 2020Hindi

Health

Hi KomaljiI live in joint family, non-veg. Our family ladies are very good cooks.We eat delicious, rich, heavy food always and non-veg every day.My friends are telling me this is not good; I should eat more healthy.Now I agree but I cannot change my family.What can I do for myself to eat healthy and stay healthy?I will become a graduate this year.Farzana

It is good that you are now aware of the significance of a healthy lifestyle.

Make an effort to educate your family about the repercussions of the unhealthy food habits they follow.

It may not be very easy but it can be slowly and gently conveyed by you becoming a role model.

And impress upon the ladies, at least one of them, about the detrimental effects of the excessive oily and rich foods they cook.

Explain the adverse conditions like high cholesterol, liver diseases, heart conditions, etc, which are more likely to affect the men in the family.

Include healthy and easily accessible foods like fruits, nuts and buttermilk as fillers.

Have small frequent meals.

Adopt a regular exercise regimen for body toning and burning excess fat.

I suggest learn to cook easy and healthy food options for yourself.

Question by Sweta - Aug 29, 2022Hindi

Health

Dear Madam, I like reading your columns. Can you please tell me 10 good things I must feed my family in a week to keep them healthy. Like 10 things I must not avoid? We are vegetarians. My husband and two sons, 12 and 14. Thank you Sweta

True wellness is being in harmony with Nature and its laws so that you can enjoy its blessings and lead a healthy and peaceful life.

A few practices to begin with:

Always eat fresh. Both packaged or stale food are not good for your body.

Try at least one fruit meal in a day if possible.

Eat all seasonal vegetables and fruits, as much variety as you can, but nothing in excess.

Don’t overeat or overfeed. Natural hunger is a sign of good health; if someone is not feeling hungry, we should look at the cause rather than force feeding.

Look at your shopping cart. Does it have more packaged foods or fresh vegetables and fruits? Try making pickles, jams and sauces at home rather than buying the packaged variety.

Salt and sugar should be regulated.

White sugar is harmful. Replace today with traditional forms like khand and jaggery but beware of artificial colouring.

Avoid fermented foods in the evening.

Lastly, avoid meals after 7-8 pm as anything consumed post sunset is hard on digestion; stale food in intestines is the root cause of most diseases.

Career

Hi I left my pvt banking job LPA 11.5L in December 2023 after that I have started business which was not went well so again I decided to start my career my age is 36 M finding very difficult to find a job, received only few call but after I say my package and gap they are telling will call you back. Need suggestions let me know any career break options available

Ans: Rajan Sir, To re-enter the job market after a break, adjust your job search approach, be open to a slight pay cut, target mid-senior roles, network aggressively, and leverage recruiters. Frame your business experience as entrepreneurial learning, highlighting skills gained in finance, risk management, and decision-making. If banking roles aren't working out, consider alternative career options like FinTech & NBFCs, Wealth Management & Investment Advisory, Freelance Financial Consulting, EdTech & Corporate Training, and Government & PSU Jobs.

A short-term fix for skill enhancement is certifications like CFA, or Financial Modelling courses, upskilling in digital banking, or freelancing for financial consultancy. Focusing on networking, flexibility, and skill enhancement will help you land a job soon. All the Best for your Prosperous Future.

Sir I am a student of class 12.I am a JEE aspirant.I wish to study abroad if I cannot get a cs seat in a good iit, but I missed all the deadlines ( I got this idea recently).Is it ok to wait for a year and upgrade my skills to study at ucl in case I don't get into iit?

Ans: Have You Checked Your JEE (Main) Score? What’s Next?

By now, you have appeared for JEE (Main). Have you checked the answer key and assessed your score? Understanding where you stand will give you a clearer idea of your performance in JEE (Advanced).

Exploring Other Options:
IIT is not the only pathway to a great career in Computer Science. You can also consider other entrance exams or explore studying abroad.

Considering a Gap Year for Studying Abroad:

If you’re aiming for top universities like UCL but missed application deadlines, taking a gap year can be a strategic move. It allows you to:

1. Strengthen your academic profile (SAT/ACT, TOEFL/IELTS, subject tests)
2. Gain experience through internships, research, and open-source contributions
3. Improve your programming skills and competitive coding performance
4. Apply for better scholarships and multiple global universities

Challenges & How to Overcome Them:
A gap year requires discipline and planning. Challenges include:
1. Social expectations – Overcome doubts with a clear action plan
2. Staying productive – Engage in structured learning, internships, and projects
3. Financial planning – Research scholarships and funding opportunities

What You Can Do in a Gap Year?: 1. Retake JEE (if needed) 2. Prepare strong applications for international universities

If you secure a good CS seat in India, that’s a great option. However, if you wish to explore global opportunities, a well-planned gap year can help you gain admission to top institutions like UCL. All the Best for your Prosperous Future.

Ans: According to NEET UG2024, the following answers address your query:

Choice of Centre Cities will be limited to the State of Permanent Address or State of Present Address only.
For convenience, the candidates may select their own city or neighbouring cities in their State of Residence only and not for far away cities in other States. NTA will not be responsible for any inconvenience due to the incorrect selection of cities by the candidates.

Please note that the selection is NOT based on where your daughter completed her +2 education. It is strictly based on either the permanent address or the present address of the state (which may be determined by the Aadhar card) where you reside. Therefore, it is crucial to be very careful when filling out the application form.
