Relationship

We dated for around 1.5 months and after that he brokeup with me ... And that was something that I never expected as he was my first boyfriend. It was really hard to get a controll over me. But the rediffgurus really helped me ... But even after 8 months i just can't stop thinking of him or making scenarios. But the situation is better than before. So after 4 days his birthday is coming and I am in dilemma whether I should wish him or not because I don't want to start things up .. just wanna normally wish but at the same time should i or not ... So that it doesn't create misunderstandings on other side . As its been days that i have been thinking about this... so what should i do

Ans: Dear Anonymous,

I can understand your dilemma. While your intentions might be pure, I would still suggest you not contact him. Since he has left, let him be in the past and try to move forward. Why am I suggesting against it? Well, it sounds very simple; you just want to wish him as a friend. But what if he replies and you realize that you weren't emotionally ready for it? It might distress you or bring back unwanted emotions.

Ultimately, the decision is yours to make but since you are unsure, it might be best to not reach out and stick to the side of caution. Focus on your growth and healing and with time, these feelings will diminish in intensity.

Best Wishes!

Relationship
Hi, I was in a relationship rather I can say love bonding with a man who is 7yrs elder to me. We both loved each other. It was 2yrs of relationship and it was strong from my side. But we had a religious/spiritual constraints to get married . Elders did not agree to get us married. Finally he left because of this reason and married another girl. I was depressed for 2 yrs then gradually came back to normal. My instincts still tell that he liked me but he never reached out to me after that. It’s been 15yrs and I still think of him even though I’m happily married. There is never a single day I don’t think about him. Recently I texted him casually without bringing the past in our conversation. He was chatting normally , but suddenly he restricted me and stopped texting. He came into my life like a rescue as I was mentally very weak facing family issues. I can never forget him For being with me and for having given me happy days atleast until He was with me. I used to Feel so happy to be with him and talk to him all day. Off late I’m thinking of him all the time and want to see him and talk to Him. I know it’s wrong and not good to disturb his life but why not just 10mins to express how I felt when he left me?? I really miss that I am Not able to spend the rest of my life with him.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Well, you have chosen not to move on...Yes, as hard as that hits you, this is the truth...you are still pining for someone who has clearly moved on. Your attempts at reaching out to him in the hope that he will respond has already been met with disappointment!
Why go through the pain all over again?
Now, let's get to the main point of your LOVE right now...does it not seem that you are finding reasons to be with him...like, he helped me out during this time and that...that you felt happy talking to him all day...
When you base your happiness on anything/anyone outside of you, do know that it is temporary and never ends well...So, rather than basing all your happiness on him, find other reasons to be happy without involving him or anything else.
A bit difficult initially, but not impossible!
De-focus by building strong personal and professional goals for yourself. Reach out to a friend who will be of support as your go through this phase of releasing your past. Physical pain is real, Emotional pain is a choice...

All the best!

Career Counsellor - Answered on Jun 04, 2025

Career
My Son got 15600 CRL rank and 3800 OBC NCL in Jee Advance. did we expect any IIT for that category rank, if not please suggest me some thing similar thanks in advance
Ans: Veeru, With a JEE Advanced OBC-NCL rank of 3,800, admission to core branches (CSE, ECE, Mechanical) at premier IITs (Delhi, Bombay, Madras) is unattainable, as their 2024 OBC-NCL cutoffs for these programs ranged from 1,000–2,500. However, newer IITs like IIT Jammu (Civil Engineering: OBC closing rank 5,360), IIT Bhilai (Metallurgical Engineering: 7,797), and IIT Goa (Mechanical: 5,565) are feasible, albeit with lower placement rates (65–75%) in core sectors. For Electrical Engineering, IIT Mandi (OBC cutoff: 4,112) and IIT Palakkad (4,625) are borderline options, contingent on seat availability in later JoSAA rounds.

Recommendation: Prioritize Civil/Metallurgical Engineering at IIT Jammu/Bhilai during JoSAA counselling, leveraging institutional prestige despite niche specializations. For balanced industry-academia pathways, target ECE at NIT Trichy (OBC cutoff: 3,690) or IT at IIITDM Jabalpur (2,708), which report 85–90% placement rates in embedded systems and IT roles. If open to interdisciplinary fields, Material Science at IIT Hyderabad (OBC cutoff: 4,500) or Engineering Physics at IIT Gandhinagar (5,331) offer research-driven curricula. For backups, explore state universities like Jadavpur University (non-JEE seats) or DTU/NSUT via JEE Main counselling, ensuring robust tech-sector opportunities. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
