What is your opinion? Kotak Bluechip Direct growth - No SIP. I put in money during dips. total value 2.35 lakhs. Current value approx 2.5 lakhs. I plan to continue putting lumpsums during dips. What is your opinion? As, I can see that there are too many funds and lots of overlapping also. Many funds have been at their historically low and some have been at the lowest ladder in rankings with continue bad performance. Thus, I need to reduce the number of funds and stop the bad ones and also to reduce the overlapping. It is not a goal based investment but simply an investment with no time horizon but I do not see myself touching them for the next 10 years. In fact, I plan to just keep putting in more so my approach can be seen as aggressive one and I would not mind going bullish on small caps and mid caps as the time horizon is long. Please advice me on how to proceed. Thanks

Ans: Puneet
You have 17 MFs and it is not possible for me to analyse and give recommendations on each one of them in the time available to me.

But from a cursory glance, I can surely say that there are too many of them. Too many of MFs neither give you diversification nor provide you safety or better returns. They only make monitoring difficult.

Since you are comfortable with an aggressive portfolio and have a long time horizon of 10 years, my advice to you is:-
• Straightaway cut down your number of funds to half – say 8. Use one of the rating websites to know which one is good and which not. Such websites are not the best way to select funds but, in your case, would work fine.
• The cutting down should be category-wise. Try not to have more than one fund per category. Rarely should you have two per category.
• If you only wish to have equity funds, then your total number of funds could be even lesser. Go in for Large Cap / Index Fund, Flexicap Fund, Large & Mid Cap Fund, Mid Cap Fund, Small Cap Fund, and maybe an Aggressive Hybrid or an Asset Allocator Fund. Try and take more funds with a value oriented approach than growth approach.
• One selected, do the same for SIPs and bulk amounts.
• Lastly, monitor your funds once in six months and rebalance if required.

What are scope of btech biotech in india and abroad if someone want to do Masters abroad like Australia canada u.k or u.s what with be the expenses and procedure, is it a good fiekd to choose over Mbbs

Ans: After B.Tech Biotechnology never go for MBBS. It will be a huge wastage of time and only with MBBS without specialization truly you can't earn much in present day. For doing Masters from Foreign country I would suggest only USA. The procedure is very simple. You need to have four things i) An excellent GRE Score ii) A good TOEFL Score 111) Three good recommendations from your professors iv) A good SOP (Statement of Purpose). But the cash support required will be 80 lakhs to 1 crore. Because now a days in MS fundings are generally not available. Best of luck. MAY GOD BLESS YOU. Professor.....................:)

Confused about future what to do after msc biotechnology so I can earn decant amount?

Ans: You can go for teaching, but for teaching if you go for Ph.D it will be better. If the financial condition permits you can go for Ph.D from USA. You need to have four things i) An excellent GRE Score ii) A good TOEFL Score 111) Three good recommendations from your professors iv) A good SOP (Statement of Purpose). Ph.D comes with full funding, still you need to have 30-40 lakhs rupees cash ready for the initial expenses and first two semesters, if you don't get funding from day one. But generally Ph.D students get funding from starting. But if you go for MS then points number 1 to 4 will be same, but the cash support required will be 80 lakhs to 1 crore. Because in MS now a days financial supports are generally not received. If you can't afford study from USA then in India you can do MBA from a good B- School and join some corporate. But if you don't want to change the core sector then go for Ph.D in India, but Ph.D is a journey of 4 to 6 years. Once Ph.D is done college teaching will be a good opportunity for you. Be in touch with me and follow me. All the best. MAY GOD BLESS YOU. Professor............:)

Question by Donna - Jun 25, 2024Hindi

Health

Dr. Shyam, I had my teeth cleaned 6 months ago and after that was done I saw discoloration on certain teeth that wasn't there before. Years ago I had my teeth cleaned and one particular tooth after the cleaning was sensitive to touch. I had a crown put in from two different dental offices. The first one did the crown right, but was trying to charge me $3,500 more than the agreement they made with Medicare. Medicare corrected that. I other dentist did a crown and it didn't go all the way up to my gums and is sensitive to especially cold things. I'm not having very good experiences with dentist by and large. Can't find an honest one or one that can actually do the job right. I feel being on Medicare your a target to bring in money. Not sure what to do next. Supposed to go back and have them redo the crown that didn't go to my gums, but it also was ttd place to didn't clean my teeth right and discolored some of them. Any suggestions on how to trust there is actually an capable and honest dentist out there who can perform properly?

Ans: Identifying a capable and honest dentist is crucial for your oral health and well-being. Here are some tips to help you find one:

1. Ask for referrals: Ask friends, family, or coworkers for recommendations. They can provide valuable insights into a dentist's work quality and bedside manner.

2. Check credentials: Ensure the dentist has the necessary qualifications, certifications, and licenses. You can verify this information with your state's dental board or professional organizations like the American Dental Association (ADA).

3. Check online reviews: Look up the dentist on review platforms. Pay attention to the overall rating and read the comments to understand the strengths and weaknesses. At the same time, do not rely on reviews alone as these can be manipulated, fake reviews can be easily generated.

4. Evaluate their communication style: A good dentist should listen to your concerns, explain procedures clearly, and answer questions patiently. Ensure you feel comfortable asking questions and discussing your treatment.

5. Assess their facility and equipment: A well-organized and modern dental office with up-to-date equipment is a good sign.

6. Check their approach to preventive care: A capable dentist emphasizes preventive care, including regular cleanings, exams, and education on oral hygiene.

7. Be wary of over-treatment: A honest dentist will not recommend unnecessary procedures. Be cautious if you feel pressured into extensive treatments.

8. Trust your instincts: If something feels off or you don't click with the dentist, it's okay to explore other options.

10. Schedule a consultation: Many dentists offer initial consultations or meet-and-greets. Use this opportunity to assess their approach, ask questions, and gauge your comfort level.

By following these steps, you can increase your chances of finding a capable and honest dentist who prioritizes your oral health and well-being.

I have gum inflammation from teenage years now am in 30s it bleeds rarely but swelling doesn't reduce though from many years am waiting for it to come to normal...

Ans: Hello
You have not mentioned whether you have consulted a dentist for your gum inflammation and were treated in the past for the same.
The most common cause for gum inflammation is poor oral hygiene. Inadequate or improper brushing can lead to accumulation of tartar or calculus which in turn leads to gum inflammation. This tartar or calculus has to be cleaned (the process is called scaling) periodically by a qualified dentist in order to maintain gum health. The recommended frequency can be determined by your dentist after periodic check ups.
If you have gum inflammation despite regular check ups and cleaning, other factors could be responsible.
Certain medicines which need to be taken on a regular basis are known to cause swelling of the gums. Hormonal imbalances can also affect the gums. To rule out these extra-oral factors, your medical history and medication will have to evaluated and adjusted by a General Physician.

Considering my life science background, I'm unsure if pursuing MCA would limit my job prospects and i don't know much about Msc bioinformatics So what to do now?

Ans: Go for MCA or Msc bioinformatics. Take prper decision. Ask yourself whether you want to be in the core line or you want to shift to IT side. If IT side then even MCA will not be enough. It's an age of AI. So you need to go for a good certificate course which is having collaboration with some reputed IIT. So please decide with a calm and cool mind then proceed. In your country before going for a three years course we don't even think for three hours. DECISION DECIDES DESTINY. So take proper decision. I am always there for you. Best of luck.

Along with job Ph.D you can't do, but certainly after the certificate course of IIT Guwahati you will have access to the R&D of the companies who deal with DS, AI and ML.

Relationship

Hi, I am 30 years old not married & now my parents are forcing me to get married. I think i am good looking guy. It's not like i have never been with girls. I have had brief flings with multiple girls. And there was one girl whom i was in a platonic relationship with with lot of emotional sharing & have spent a lot of time with her. The same goes with another girl. Both of them have told me that i have been pretty cool & girls would like me to be their bf or husband. But i am not able to accept anyone because of the guilt that of my past that i never had a relationship. Never been able to tell anyone that i had a gf. I know this is wrong to compare my life but i can't stop thinking that way. Can you tell me what to do? Like a contsant regret of not having a very steamy cool fancy relationship from outside. I know relationships have it's own ups & downs. But this guilt is killing me that i missed out lot of things in life & if get married in an arranged marriage i would feel myself to be a looser who couldn't even find a girl on his own. Though i know all of these comparisons are wrong & i should be rational. I am not able to help it. Please help me out

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Whatever you are feeling, it is very normal. More people than you could imagine go through this same phase. But as you mentioned, these are just thoughts; there is no truth to them. Not having a relationship does not make you uncool. It merely means that you did not meet your perfect match yet. I understand that you feel like you have missed out on something and that feeling is valid. It might not be reasonable, but it's very natural to think this way. I can suggest one thing- why don't you try a dating or matchmaking app to find your own partner? That way, you will be keeping your parents' wishes and won't let yourself down either. It will also give you more control over choosing your life partner.

Hope this helps.
