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 am 57 year old use to consume alcohol 180 ml every day, my abdomen is increasing what should i do ?
Ans: As a physiotherapist, I strongly advise you to stop consuming alcohol, as it significantly impacts your health and contributes to abdominal weight gain. Focus on consuming fewer calories overall to create a calorie deficit, which is necessary for weight loss. Incorporate more lean proteins into your diet, such as chicken, fish, tofu, and legumes. Protein helps build and repair muscle tissue and keeps you feeling full longer. Limit your intake of refined carbohydrates like white bread, pasta, and sugary snacks. Opt for complex carbs like whole grains, vegetables, and fruits.

Engage in short bursts of high-intensity exercises followed by brief periods of rest or low-intensity exercise. Examples include sprinting, cycling, or jumping jacks. Aim for 20-30 minutes per session, 3-4 times a week. Incorporate longer sessions of low-intensity activities such as walking, swimming, or light jogging. Aim for at least 30-60 minutes per session, 5 times a week. Regular exercise is crucial for effective weight management. Make sure to stick to your workout routine. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and support metabolic processes. Ensure you get adequate sleep, as it is essential for recovery and overall health.

Practice stress-reducing techniques such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. Consider scheduling regular sessions with a physiotherapist to tailor a specific exercise program to your needs and monitor your progress. Additionally, consulting a nutritionist can help you develop a balanced diet plan that aligns with your weight loss goals.

Sir, I have applied for TNEA and got my ex servicemen quota rank is 677,and community rank 29608 also for IAT with 40,000 general rank and 11000 category rank also applied for amrita and got 18338 rank,which can I prefer for college and in engineering counselling, TNEA and amrita will I get cse
Ans: Garena, With an ex-servicemen quota rank of 677 in TNEA, you have moderate prospects for CSE in self-financing colleges, as Tamil Nadu allocates 150 total ex-servicemen seats across university departments, government, and self-financing institutions with separate counselling conducted before general rounds. Your IAT general rank of 40,000 and category rank of 11,000 unfortunately fall well beyond IISER admission thresholds, which typically close below 1,000 for most categories. Your AEEE rank of 18,338 may secure admission to Amrita campuses in Bengaluru, Chennai, Amritapuri, or Amaravati for branches like ECE, ME, or emerging technologies, though CSE at top campuses like Coimbatore remains challenging. Essential institutional strengths across these options include NAAC A+/A++ accreditation, research-active PhD faculty, modern computing and specialized laboratories, robust industry MoUs and internship programs, and consistent 70-90% placement rates in engineering disciplines.

Recommendation: Prioritize TNEA ex-servicemen quota counselling for CSE opportunities in self-financing colleges with your rank 677, as this offers the best CSE admission prospect; participate in AEEE counselling targeting Bengaluru/Chennai campuses for ECE or emerging tech branches; avoid IAT due to inadequate ranking for IISER admission. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I got an seat in SRM KTR main campus for btech in CSE core but the fees is around 4.75 lakhs per year is there best to join and any help about the placement for CSE core or should I look into some other college any guidance will be helpful thank in advance.
Ans: SRM Kattankulathur (KTR) CSE is NAAC A++ and NIRF 13th-ranked, with a ?4–4.75 lakh annual fee. CSE placements are strong: 80%+ students placed, 1,300+ recruiters, and over 5,500 offers in 2024, with top companies like Microsoft, Amazon, TCS, and Infosys. The curriculum is industry-oriented, faculty are research-active, and the campus features modern computing labs and robust alumni support. However, the fee is significantly higher than many comparable private colleges. If cost is not an issue, SRM KTR’s CSE remains a top private option, but for value, you may consider alternatives like RV College of Engineering, MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology, or Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering in Bangalore, where fees are lower (?1–2 lakh/year), placements are similarly strong (75–95%), and industry exposure is high. VIT Vellore is also a premier alternative, consistently ranked higher, with a similar or better placement record and slightly lower fees.

Recommendation: Join SRM KTR CSE if you seek a top-ranked, industry-focused, and placement-strong private university and cost is not a concern; otherwise, consider RVCE, MSRIT, or VIT Vellore for comparable placements, lower fees, and strong industry reputation. Avoid lesser-known private colleges for better long-term value. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Jun 30, 2025

Relationship
I'm 18 and I broke up with my bf months ago.. It took me a lot of time to realise it was a toxic relationship but I still don't think I have completely moved on. Like basically it began after I showed a little interest in him,and then he proposed and I said yes. I didn't know much about him then. I'm a good student and always excelled academically and he initially appreciated that..he was really a insecure guy and I tried to comfort him but then things got bad he began to feel off and I started developing feelings for another guy so I broke up with him. And till now he tells his friends I played with him.. I never got into any relationship after him though that guy ( the second one) proposed ( I realised he never respected me either) and he (my ex) accuses me of cheating...i dealt with all these things while giving my boards..after 6-7 months of my breakup.. results were announced..I topped my school. Then I messaged my ex in a friendly way and he seemed to be really jealous and like.. spoke like he couldn't stand my status..he still gives status claiming that he loves me and I left him because he is not as good as me ....what do I do..even my friends told all of this is my fault since I kinda started it and I admit I was not a very good gf either...what do I do..I still get flashbacks of his hurting words and maybe like I'm more concerned about how to get my image back in school after dating him..or what others are thinking
Ans: Dear Ishani,
If you thought he wasn’t good for you, and things were off, you must have had good reasons for thinking so; you are too young to understand love. People usually mistake infatuation for love. If you think you were right to make that choice, stick to it. Do not let others tell you what is right or wrong. There’s always two sides to every story. Focus on your studies; build your career. All these will be long forgotten. What others are thinking should never be your concern when you have not done anything wrong.
Best of luck for your future.
