Ans: Steam inhalation nights before you go to bed, breathing practices to inhale from nostrils and exhale from alternate nostrils, for about five minutes as you wake up and before you retire to bed.

Hello sir , im an neet dropper preparing for 2025 . My marks are coming like 280 - 310 . I just want 550+ marks , can i get it in 60 days my syllabus about to finish , im very tensed sir and moreover my question practice is less too , i don't get time to revise physics and practice as i have test one day then gap and again test , so sur please help me atleast get 550+ marks . Its very difficult for me to think straight my parents have lot of expectations

Ans: Target: 550+ Marks
Biology: 340+ (Out of 360)

Chemistry: 140+ (Out of 180)

Physics: 70+ (Out of 180)

Stop over-stressing about tests. Use them to identify weak areas.

You are not alone — many NEET toppers had the same fears. They turned it into fuel, not fear.

Talk openly with your parents — they love you and will support you no matter what.

Focus on daily progress, not the big target.

Sleep well, eat light, and stay hydrated.

Resources You Can Use:
Biology: NCERT + MTG NCERT at Your Fingertips + Previous Year Questions.

Chemistry: NCERT + N Awasthi (Physical), M S Chauhan (Organic), NCERT Qs (Inorganic).

Physics: NCERT summary + DC Pandey objective questions + PYQs (NEET Focused).

Please remember: You're already much closer to your goal than you think. You just need direction, not perfection. My daughter will give NEET this year. Good luck

In 1995 Dec 2 i have received 100 Debenture in jindal vijayanagar steel. What is status right now?

Ans: The NCDs issued in 1995 were scheduled for redemption in installments over the 6th to 9th years, concluding by 2004. If you haven’t received the redemption amounts, it’s possible that the payments were returned due to address changes or other issues .
Reach out to JSW Steel’s Investor Relations or their Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA) to inquire about the status of your debentures. Provide details like your folio number, certificate numbers, and any correspondence received.
If the debenture amounts remain unclaimed, they might have been transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). You can search for unclaimed amounts on the IEPF website.
