My mother is 54 and having osteoarthritis. She has pain in her knees since 10 years and now it has become really worse. Doctor has advised us for changing of one of her knee where the gap between bones has become negligible. She is very hesitant of surgery and we are also afraid that how will it go? Will it be successful? She is overweight and not so old to get her bones changed. But then we see her screaming in pain. We are in a dilemma about her future. Is it safe? Or is there any other cure without surgery?

Ans: Neck and shoulder pain caused by frequent phone and laptop use is very common, but yoga can help release the tension and strengthen these areas. Here are some simple yoga poses and stretches you can try:

Neck Rolls: Sit comfortably, slowly roll your head in a circle, and switch directions after a few rounds. This releases tightness in your neck.

Seated Cat-Cow Stretch: Sit in a chair or on the floor. Inhale and arch your back while lifting your chest (Cow), then exhale and round your spine, tucking your chin (Cat). This stretch relaxes both your shoulders and neck.

Eagle Arms (Garudasana Arms): Cross one arm over the other in front of you and bring your palms together. Lift your elbows and move your hands away from your face to stretch your shoulders.

Child’s Pose with Shoulder Stretch: Kneel and stretch your arms forward on the mat, resting your forehead down. For a deeper stretch, thread one arm under the other.

Shoulder Rolls: Lift your shoulders up toward your ears, then roll them back and down in a circular motion.

For safe and effective relief, consult a yoga coach who can guide you with proper alignment and techniques.

Ans: Bloating and poor digestion are common but can improve with yoga and simple kriyas. Yoga helps by stimulating your digestive organs, improving blood flow, and reducing stress, which often affects gut health.

Here are some yoga poses and kriyas for better digestion:

Wind-Relieving Pose (Pavanamuktasana): Lie on your back, bring your knees to your chest, and gently hug them. This pose helps release gas and soothes your stomach.

Cat-Cow Stretch (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana): On all fours, alternate between arching your back (Cow) and rounding it (Cat). This movement massages the abdominal organs and improves digestion.

Seated Twist (Ardha Matsyendrasana): Sit with one leg crossed over the other, then twist your upper body. Twists stimulate the digestive system and release toxins.

Kapalabhati (Skull Shining Breath): This kriya involves rapid exhalations and helps cleanse your digestive tract. Practice for 2-3 minutes daily, preferably on an empty stomach.

Relaxation: End with 5-10 minutes in Corpse Pose (Savasana) to calm your mind and reduce stress, which often worsens bloating.

For safe and effective practice, consult a yoga coach who can guide you with proper techniques. Personalized guidance will bring better results.

Ans: Dear Friend,
If you’re considering whether to purchase your brother’s share of the inherited property for ?4 crore, weigh peace of mind against financial returns. Buying his share gives you full control, eliminates potential disputes with a third-party buyer, and ensures no interference in your peaceful living. However, the rental yield of ?60,000/month (~1.8% annual return) is significantly lower than the ~8% return you could get by investing ?4 crore in fixed deposits or bonds, which would generate ~?2.67 lakh/month.

Regarding the terrace, your brother cannot sell his 50% share independently since it is undivided and jointly inherited. Any sale requires your consent, limiting his ability to transfer full terrace rights to a new buyer.

Redevelopment of the property is an excellent option, offering increased value and rental income. Builders are likely to provide additional floors or cash components in exchange for development rights, enhancing long-term financial benefits and ensuring modern amenities.

If your priorities are peace of mind and control over the property, purchase your brother’s share. Otherwise, invest in safer financial instruments and consider redevelopment to maximise the property’s potential. Consult a lawyer and financial advisor to ensure the best decision. Your Financial adviser can deeply evaluate all your assets and liabilities and provide a solution which will give you more leverage.

Ans: Dear G,
The ownership of the 600 sq. ft. UDS (Undivided Share of Land) depends on the terms of the Joint Development Agreement (JDA) and the GPA cancellation deed. As per the JDA, the builder agreed to transfer the 600 sq. ft. UDS to you after GPA cancellation in return for compensation. If the GPA cancellation deed and subsequent agreements clearly state that this UDS belongs solely to you and these are registered with the Sub-Registrar’s Office (SRO), you are the legal owner. However, if your sister’s name still appears as a co-owner in the original title deed, you will need her to execute a **Settlement Deed** or **Gift Deed** in your favor, which must be registered to confirm your sole ownership and avoid disputes. The builder’s statement that you are the owner is valid only if it aligns with the registered documents. To confirm ownership, verify the SRO records to ensure the transfer has been legally recorded. If any gaps exist, consult a property lawyer to review the JDA, GPA cancellation deed, and builder’s agreement to ensure proper registration of ownership and resolve any ambiguity. This will safeguard your rights and provide clarity regarding the 600 sq. ft. UDS.

Ans: please elaborate the question?

Ans: it all depends on what strategy you are using, generally it is not suggested to trade at opening and last min of closing as its the most volatile times. Let the dust settle and then take trades depending on the direction of markets. Always study and backtest your strategy multiple times and when you are confident then only go for trading, else stock markets are not meant for trading, its a investment vehicle for long journey.
