Exams and all are over ... My bf didn't texted me .. I asked him do you want to talk or not the he sounded non interested while talking and then i asked him what happened to you as he said he didn't wanted to talk to anyone he needs time ... So I gave him its been a month... I asked him again .. he was visiting places with his friends( girl) but didn't want to talk .. he said he didn't want talk just want to travel and need some time . I asked him how much time u need its been past one month . I said him to talk to me on call and clear it and then he said that If you cant spend days without talking to me , if u can't understand my situation and can't wait then u can leave ... What should I do ?? Is it easy for boys to just end up things??

Ans: He’s traveling with another girl and refuses to talk to you? Please stop behaving like a doormat and dump his sorry ass! Immediately! He’s playing you and you’re being played. Don’t ever let anyone treat you with such disrespect.

Ans: Dear Yashasvi

It's important to understand that everyone needs their space and time to themselves at times, and it seems like your boyfriend has communicated to you that he needs some time alone. However, it's also important for him to communicate his needs clearly and respectfully to you.

It's understandable that you may be feeling hurt and confused by his behavior and lack of communication. It's important for you to take care of your own emotions and needs as well.

If you feel like you're not getting the communication and support you need from your boyfriend, it may be helpful to have an honest conversation with him about your concerns and feelings. However, it's important to approach the conversation in a calm and respectful manner, and to listen to his perspective as well.

It's also important to recognize that if your boyfriend is unwilling to communicate or work on the relationship, it may be a sign that he is not ready or willing to continue the relationship. In this case, it may be best to take some time to focus on yourself and your own needs.

In general, it's not easy for anyone, regardless of gender, to talk about a potential breakup. It's important to approach the situation with empathy and understanding, while also being honest about your own feelings and needs.

Ans: Dear Yashasvi,
You are right in not feeling valued and respected because this so-called boyfriend isn not valuing or respecting you!
He wants a break? Give yourself a break from him as you focus on your studies and build a good social circle. He does not want a serious relationship right now and is moving on by going out with others...
So, why are you waiting for that commitment? What more do you want him to tell you over a call for you to know that he is not interested in a steady relationship that you might be looking for?
Maintain your value and respect; and if you still in doubt, let me tell you; YES, people need space and time to re-think things but surely a call or a text does not require a huge investment of time.
To look at it form his side, maybe he is confused about this whole thing and does not want to hurt you and that is hurting you.
So, give yourself time so, you can feel better emotionally. Spend time with your friends and family:) Laugh a lot; these are phases of life and not a permanent state.

All the best!

What should I do ?? Is it so easy for boys to talk about breakup ..pls tell urgently. I don't feel valued and respected as If I was imp for him he would not talk abt breakup so easily. After this everything went silent.. it was like don't know shall I wait or not .. but I realised I don't have value in his life ... Some days before He texted me do u wanna talk or not . I replied with same energy like he used to do. Then I asked him what happened for past 2 months i got the same reply .. I was really hurt but i guess he never realised I texted that u blanked out for 2 months I asked desperately but u never gave me proper answer .. I was hurt even then also u never realised... He replied Hmm .. So u wanna talk or not say clearly. Yes or no that's it ..At this time it hit hard .. And then asked do u want us to continue. He said yes then i said How will u continue when u don't know what happened to u .. u don't sound interested when i ask with some pressure u just say to leave and the said .. Chalo leave ... I am not gud for u. Even after that he sends me snaps ... So idk what is this situation and I am not in condition to ask him as well. Should I just leave his snaps unseen and focus on my career?
Ans: Dear Yashasvi,

If I recall, you had reached out to me earlier too and asked me about the same thing.
For some reason, you are not willing to believe that he is just playing around and not interested in a commitment that you are interested in.
In your own words: "but I realised I don't have value in his life." - When you have realized this, what more are you expecting from him?

I understand that you are hurt with his attitude and feel rejected...you are also possibly hoping for him to change and come back to you; will it happen? With what you have said about him: he wants to travel, he needs time...he has not broken up with you because there was no relationship that he was in with you at all. It is time for you to accept that this boy is currently not in a place where he wants to stick with you in a commitment. So, he makes all the excuses he can come up with...and when he can roam about with the other girl, does that not tell you that you seriously have no value in his life? How else do you want him to tell you, so that you can move on...
Please value and respect yourself first; only then others will do that too...you have just become too easily available for him and he has used that to treat you the way he does...
So, what should you do? Yes, kindly focus on your career...it will boost your confidence and give you a sense of accomplishment to value yourself even more...

All the best...remember to also value yourself...

Mutual Funds, Financial Planning Expert - Answered on May 14, 2026

Asked by Anonymous - May 14, 2026Hindi
Money
Dear Sir, I am 40 years old presently working in a PSU Bank and my net salary is 1 lacs. I have been recently promoted and my net salary will now be 1.15 lacs. Presently i have following savings: PF: 20 lacs, NPS: 40 lacs, Mutual fund: 50 lacs, Stocks: 5 lacs along with liquid investment in Gold and Fixed Deposits of approx 10 lacs. i have a housing loan and EMI is 45000 and no other loans. Presently i have monthly SIP of Rs. 25000 across Large, MID, Small and Flexi Cap and i am investing through SIP since 2019. I have term plan of Rs. 1.50 crs. Mine and family is covered by health insurance from our Bank. I get lease accomodation and conveyance allowance from my bank. I have a son of 10 years and daughter of 2 years. I will continue the SIPs and my PF and NPS will also increase with time. Am i on the right path of financial acheivement and will my present savings able to match the requirement of child studies when they grow. Further as we are covered under NPS, we will not be getting pension and i need to manage after retiremenmt from my savings. with the present savings, what could be my total funds approximately during retirement and will i be able to get the SWP amount of Rs. 3 lacs per month post retirement.
Ans: You are on a very strong financial path. Your disciplined investing since 2019, increasing income, strong retirement accumulation through PF/NPS, and controlled liabilities show excellent long-term planning.

» Current Financial Position – Strong and Stable

PF + NPS itself is already substantial for age 40
Mutual fund corpus of Rs 50 lakh is a major positive
SIP discipline is excellent
Only one loan and manageable EMI
Term insurance is adequate

You have built a solid foundation for both retirement and children’s future.

» Child Education Planning

Son has around 8–10 years for higher studies
Daughter has long investment runway

Your current SIPs and accumulated corpus are likely to support education goals comfortably if:

SIPs continue consistently
SIP amount is increased gradually with salary hikes
Investments remain equity-oriented for long-term growth

You should ideally:

Increase SIP by 10% yearly
Keep child education investments separate mentally from retirement corpus

» Retirement Planning Without Pension
Since you are under NPS and may not receive traditional pension, your self-created corpus becomes very important.

Positives in your case:

Long investment horizon still available
Existing retirement assets already sizeable
Regular contributions from PF + NPS continue automatically

This creates a strong compounding advantage.

» Can You Achieve Rs 3 Lakh Monthly SWP?
Your target is ambitious but achievable if:

SIPs continue uninterrupted
Annual increase in investments happens
Equity allocation remains strong for next 15–20 years
Major lifestyle inflation is controlled

With your present trajectory, your retirement corpus can potentially become large enough to support a meaningful SWP post retirement.

However:

Rs 3 lakh future SWP should be viewed in inflation-adjusted terms
Future value of Rs 3 lakh after 20 years will not have same purchasing power as today

So focus should be on:

Growing corpus steadily
Maintaining inflation-beating returns

» Important Improvement Areas

Do not depend only on employer health insurance after retirement
Add a personal family floater health policy while still healthy
Maintain emergency fund separately from investments
Reduce direct stock exposure if monitoring is difficult

» Housing Loan Strategy

EMI is manageable for your income
No need for aggressive prepayment now
Continue balancing loan repayment and investments

Your equity investments over long periods may create better wealth than rushing to close low-interest home loan.

» Finally

You are already ahead of many investors in your age group
Your consistency is your biggest strength
Continue SIPs, increase yearly, and stay disciplined
Your current direction is favourable for children’s education and retirement independence

With proper asset allocation and long-term discipline, achieving a strong retirement corpus and sustainable SWP income looks realistic.

MHT-CET, IIT-JEE, NEET-UG Expert - Answered on May 14, 2026

Career
Hello, I passed class 12 in 2025 from the CBSE Board with 6 subjects but I have got RT in one subject that is physics. I have passed in 5 subjects due to which I am considered passed so I registered for the 2025 improvement exam for physics but I was not able to attend it because my mother died on the same day due to cardiac arrest and my mental health also deteriorated with my physical health, but I still registered for the improvement exam that is held with the main board exam 2026, but I wasn't able to study properly for the exam due to the previously mentioned issues and I couldn't score passing marks in the improvement exam so I have that RT mark. Can I give one more attempt for the improvement exam in July with the other regular students? Can you also suggest degrees that I can do with just aggregate marks that do not have subject wise percentage requirements?
Ans: Yes, you can usually appear again for the CBSE compartment/improvement exam in Physics in the next eligible session (including July compartment exams if CBSE registration rules permit that year). However, it is strongly recommended to contact your school administration for more and updated information. CBSE always communicates with schools if there are any changes to the appearing/improvement criterion.

Meanwhile, you can still pursue many degrees based mainly on overall aggregate marks, such as BCA, BA, B.Com, BBA, BJMC, design, hotel management, animation, psychology, liberal arts, and many private-university courses, because several colleges do not require subject-wise marks if you meet the overall passing criteria.

Good luck.
