Sir, I am started investing from last 4 months through weekly SIP in following direct growth funds. Please advice whether I continue with them for 10+ years or change.

Parag Parikh flexi cap fund- Rs.2000 per week

Axis Blue chip fund- Rs.1000 per week

Axis Mid cap fund- Rs.1000 per week.

Can I achieve target of Rs. 1 crore corpus in next 10 years.

Ans: Sir, Rs. 16000 per month may take you up to Rs. 45 lakhs; for a crore corpus in 10 years Rs. 40,000 per month is required or weekly Rs. 10000 instead of Rs. 4000 presently.

With Rs. 4000 weekly it would take 15 years to reach the required corpus!

Hello Sir, greetings, I have been investigating in the below funds. Please let me know whether I should continue my SIP of 40K in these below funds for next 10,15,20 years. Investing since Apr 2023. Age 33, goals: retirement, children education and marriage. Funds: 1. Axis growth opportunities direct fund. 2. DSP Value fund direct. 3. SBI multi cap direct fund. 4. PPFAS flexi cap direct fund. 5. Quant tax saver fund direct. Reason to choose these funds to get diversified categories as well as international exposure. Adding more, like each funds strategies are different from each other.
Ans: It's great to see your commitment to long-term financial planning! Your chosen funds indeed offer a well-rounded portfolio catering to various investment objectives. Each fund's distinct strategy enhances diversification, mitigating risk and maximizing returns over time.

Axis Growth Opportunities fund provides exposure to high-growth potential companies, aligning with long-term wealth accumulation goals. DSP Value fund, focusing on undervalued stocks, adds stability to your portfolio, crucial for achieving financial milestones like children's education and marriage.

SBI Multi Cap fund's flexibility in investing across market caps ensures adaptability to market dynamics, essential for sustained growth. PPFAS Flexi Cap fund's international exposure offers a hedge against domestic market volatility, fostering global wealth creation opportunities.

Quant Tax Saver fund not only aids in tax efficiency but also provides a unique investment approach, complementing the other funds' strategies. However, it's vital to monitor fund performance periodically and rebalance if necessary to stay aligned with your goals.

There are some advantages to consider direct funds, and the cost savings can be significant in the long run. However, there are some potential benefits to using a regular MFD:
Advantages of Investing Through a Mutual Fund Distributor (MFD):
• Personalized Advice: MFDs can be helpful for beginners or those who lack investment knowledge. They can assess your risk tolerance, financial goals, and investment horizon to recommend suitable mutual funds. This personalized guidance can be valuable, especially if you're new to investing.
• Convenience: MFDs handle all the paperwork and transactions on your behalf, saving you time and effort. They can help with account setup, SIP registrations, and managing your portfolio across different funds.
• Investor Support: MFDs can be a point of contact for any questions or concerns you may have about your investments. They can provide ongoing support and guidance throughout your investment journey.


Remember, investing is a marathon, not a sprint. Stay disciplined, and trust the process. Your dedication to systematic investment will yield significant results over the years, securing a comfortable future for you and your family.

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 02, 2025Hindi
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.
