I AM 79 OLD AND HAVE A 2 ROOM FLAT IN WHICH I RESIDE. EVERY YEAR I SPENT MONEY ON ITS REPAIR. CAN I CLAIM INCOME TAX REBATE ON FLAT REPAIR AMOUNT.

Ans: Dear Shruti,
There isn't much you can do here other than be by your boyfriend's side while he tries to convince his parents. I am sure he has tried everything, but it can't hurt to try some more. He can highlight all the good things about you and mention that he isn't trying to hurt them by marrying you, rather he thinks you will fit perfectly into his family. Ask him to mention how his life has changed for the better since he met you, and how you make him happy. I am hoping that these might change their minds, or at least push them to meet you and your family once.

Best Wishes.

Ans: First and foremost, you ensure that (1) your communication channel is open with her and that you spend at least thirty minutes with her daily. (2) The atmosphere at home is serene, and (3) she does not have a significant addiction to electronic gadgets. (4) Meet with your daughter's school teacher or any counselor at least once every two weeks, or at the absolute least once a month, in order to learn the reasons behind her poor academic performance. (5) If it is at all possible, chat with her classmates at school to find out if your daughter has any additional problems that she does not want to divulge to you. (6) Make an effort to determine the underlying cause of her lack of interest in her studies. (7) Make an effort to stimulate her by recognizing her for her minor accomplishments. (8) She should also make time for hobbies and relaxation in her routine. (8) To ensure that she has a thorough understanding of her interests, aptitude, attitude, orientation, and personality, it is recommended that she takes any psychometric test at the time that she will be on vacation during the month of December. (9) Determine her path after she completes her 10th grade. (10) You should select the appropriate path for her to take depending on the results of the psychometric test. Some options include the arts and humanities, commerce with arts, vocational courses, and skill-based programs. (10) She should also make a decision by the time she is in the 10th grade as to which stream is the most appropriate for her in order to prepare her for the entrance exams (by enrolling in online or offline coaching programs) to get admission into any undergraduate program that is suited for her. All the Best for your Daughter's bright future.

Ans: The claim you mention—"Invest Rs. 21,000 and earn $2 million per month"—is a classic red flag for a scam or fraudulent investment scheme. It is highly unlikely that reputed personalities would endorse such a scheme. Let me explain why you should approach such claims with extreme caution:

1. Unrealistic Returns
Promising an exorbitant return like $2 million per month from a small investment of Rs. 21,000 is highly unrealistic. Genuine investment platforms provide returns in line with market performance and risk levels, which are far less dramatic.
2. No Official Endorsement
Check the official websites or verified accounts of these personalities to confirm any claims. Misusing their names is a common tactic used by scammers.
3. Misleading Marketing
Fraudsters often use photos or quotes from famous individuals to make their schemes look legitimate. These endorsements are usually fake and done without the knowledge or permission of the individuals.
4. RBI Guidelines
The RBI regularly issues warnings against fraudulent schemes and platforms. It never endorses specific investment opportunities. Instead, it encourages investors to exercise due diligence.
5. Too Good to Be True
As a rule of thumb, if an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Legitimate investments grow over time and require careful planning and risk management.
What You Should Do
Verify the Platform: Look for official documentation or licenses from SEBI, RBI, or other regulatory authorities.
Research: Check reviews and ratings on trusted financial websites. Look for independent sources, not just what the platform claims.
Consult an Expert: Speak to a financial advisor or investment consultant before putting your money anywhere.
Report Suspicious Activities: If you suspect fraud, report it to the Cyber Crime Cell or SEBI.
Would you like me to help you investigate this specific platform further? If yes, please provide the name or link, and I can assist.

Ans: The Usual treatment of Alopecia Areata is minoxidil, steroid injections and Vitamin D, B12 supplements. The next line of therapy is Immuno suppressants at low doses which can be tried in refractory cases. PRP treatment can also be tried. Stem cell treatment is also promising, but that can be done only as a part of a research. Give sometime and try and decrease the stress.

Ans: Your decision to stop texting him first is a healthy step because relationships should feel balanced and mutual. Constantly initiating conversations can leave you feeling undervalued or unsure about where you stand. By taking a step back, you give him the opportunity to show whether he genuinely wants to engage and invest in building a connection with you. This isn’t about playing games but about respecting your own feelings and worth.

At the same time, try to observe his actions rather than just his words. Does he initiate conversations on his own? Does he make an effort to get to know you better? If he continues to show inconsistent interest, it may be a sign that he isn’t ready or committed to the idea of building a relationship right now. And that’s okay—it just means he may not be the right match for you.

Trust your instincts as you move forward. If his behavior leaves you feeling confused or unimportant, it’s okay to walk away and focus on finding someone who values you and communicates in a way that feels fulfilling. Your time and emotions are precious, and it’s important to seek a connection where you feel respected, understood, and appreciated.

Finally, don’t let this experience discourage you. These situations are part of learning what you want and need in a partner. Give yourself grace, and remember that the right relationship will come with clarity, mutual respect, and ease.
