Physiotherapist - Answered on Feb 04, 2025

Hello Sir, For the last more then a month whenever I am doing physical exercise like yoga etc, them I am unable to do it. I feel as if there is no energy in my legs and otherwise also the body feels lethargic. Although when I do cycling (internal) then I am able to do it though the body is not with me 100%. I checked my sugar levels which were 135 after meals. I have also been suffering from repeated bouts of cold and sore throat for the last more then one month. It gets cured but comes back again after 4-5 days. I do home treatment like gargles, steam, taking Allegra 180mg and also one homeopathy medicine for common cold and cough. I am a resident of Delhi so face high levels of pollution also. Can you please help.
Ans: Hello Sir, thank you for reaching out. From a physiotherapy perspective, I recommend visiting a cardiorespiratory physiotherapist for a thorough evaluation. Given the high pollution levels in Delhi, your lungs may be under strain, leading to reduced oxygen intake and endurance. Incorporating breathing exercises such as diaphragmatic and pursed-lip breathing, along with airway clearance techniques like huffing and the active cycle of breathing, can help improve lung function. Continuing steam inhalation will also aid in keeping your airways clear. Since cycling is more manageable for you, gradually increasing its intensity and adding strength exercises like sit-to-stand movements can help build leg endurance. To minimize pollution exposure, wear an N95 mask outdoors, use an air purifier at home, and introduce indoor plants to improve air quality. Additionally, it would be beneficial to check for deficiencies in vitamin D, B12, and iron, as they can contribute to fatigue, and keep track of your blood sugar levels. If your throat infections persist, consulting an ENT specialist is advisable. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps

IIT-JEE, NEET-UG, SAT, CLAT, CA, CS Exam Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Career
My son will be appearing for JEE Main & JEE Advanced 2026 and will participate in JoSAA Counselling 2026. I request clarification regarding the GEN-EWS certificate date requirement for next year. I have already applied for an EWS certificate for current year 2025, and the application is under process. However, I am unsure whether this certificate will be accepted during JoSAA 2026, or whether candidates will be required to submit a fresh certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued on or after 1 April 2026). My concern is that if JoSAA requires a certificate issued after 1 April 2026, students will have only 1–1.5 months to complete the entire procedure, which is difficult considering normal government processing timelines. Also, during current JEE form filling, students are asked to upload a GEN-EWS certificate issued on or after 1 April 2025, or an application acknowledgement. This has created confusion among parents regarding which year’s certificate will finally be valid at the time of counselling. I request your kind guidance on: Which GEN-EWS certificate will be accepted for JoSAA Counselling 2026 — a certificate for FY 2025–26 (issued after 1 April 2025), or a new certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued after 1 April 2026)?
Ans: Hi
You need not worry about the EWS certificate. Even if you apply for the next year's certificate on 1 Apr 2026, the second session of JEE MAINS will still be held, followed by JEE ADVANCED, which will be held in May. JOSAA starts in June. so you will have 2 months in hand for fresh EWS certificate.
