My friend is in a foreign country for work. She has gone there with the support of a man who helped her getting the job. He's harassing her sexually. She has been keeping her distance and warned him. She cannot take any action as her work future depends on him. She's alone there and doesnt know what to do. Help me with the answer

Ans: encourage her to document every incident meticulously. Keeping a detailed record will be crucial if she decides to take any action later. She should also reach out to trusted colleagues or friends for support, even if they are back home. Sometimes just knowing someone is aware of her situation can be comforting.

Additionally, it's important for her to explore any available resources within her company or local community. Many organizations have HR departments or designated individuals to handle such complaints confidentially. If that's not an option, she might find support through local women's shelters, expatriate communities, or even online forums where she can connect with others who might have faced similar situations.

Encourage her to prioritize her safety. If she feels threatened or in immediate danger, seeking help from local authorities or emergency services is crucial. Her well-being is more important than any job.

Finally, she should be reminded that she's not alone and that there are people who care about her and are willing to help. It might be beneficial for her to seek professional counseling to help her cope with the emotional toll of this experience.

Your support and encouragement can make a significant difference for her during this difficult time.

my Friend is in touch with a girl since last 13 years, she is 12 years younger to him. They met at common friend's place and my friend start loving her. At the time of their meeting, my friend was married and she was unmarried, but was in relationship with another guy. after sometime, girl got married with his boyfriend with the help of my friend only. he got hurt but somehow helped her in getting married with the boy of her choice after some time the girl got divorced and my friend provided her emotional support she require to recover from this setback. over the period, she start demanding lot of stuff from my friend, like phones, watches, clothes, gold etc. even she call him, if want to eats anything from outside. but other hand she ignoring him, when she is with her friends and start behaving like stranger and gives reasons like, you are too old for her company, what her friend think of her etc. my friend is attached emotionally with her very much and dancing on her tunes. my friends shares everything with me and i know, he would go mad, if she even stop talkin with him. many a times, i tried to discuss this with my friend, but he is in total control of her. he told me, i would continue to help her, so she would keep talking with him. they never got physical. Even i had discussed this with girl, why you are doing such thing with my friend, every time she reply, she demanding such things with capacity of his friend. he (my friend) can deny, if he doesn't want to help me, i have lot of choices. she is also working and earning fairly. now i am in dilemma, how to help my friend.
Ans: Have you heard the saying, you can walk a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink? Your friend knows he is being taken advantage of — but he chooses to continue in the same vein. You can try to stage an intervention where several of his loved ones come together, sit him down and explain that this toxic woman should be cut our of his life and why. But ultimately, unless he decides to smarten up, no one can help him.

Hi mam plz help me to solve my problem , I was in relation with a guy I met him in office , and he is good boy because he helped me alot in my tasks , slowly I got attracted to him , and the attraction turns into liking ... I did not refused what he says I have to do it ..that time I was engaged ...and he wants me to meet him privately and refused that sir I am engaged I can't do this ..but he threatens if you will not come i will tell to your fiance and it will affect to your marriage ..I am agreeing what he says and he forced me to do this ..now I am married and my husband is abroad ..now he threating and harrassing me for s*x ...he says he will tell your husband ..I am in so much of stress plz help me mam to get rid of this situation what should I do if he tells my husband ..he will ruin my life and can't involve my parents they are both patient ...he is threating me so much if I tell to police they will involve my parents as well which I don't want ...I blocked him from all the social media but he kept messaging because I am getting notification from blocked messages ..and he keep threating me
Ans: The first thing you should do is come clean to your husband. Spare him the sordid details and just tell him this ex-boyfriend is trying to stir up trouble for you both. How long do you want to remain so stressed? Tell him and end the matter once and for all. I hope he has the good sense to accept your past. And then ignore this idiot, period. Once your husband knows, his game is up. With your husband’s support you may even consider filing a police complaint to teach him a lesson.

Hello sir/madam. I have secured a rank of 4.5k in manipal with which i can get ECE in main branch and 8919 rank in ts eapcet . Should i be considering state college or manipal if i choose ECE branch . Should i choose CSE or ECE if i am interested in both lf them
Ans: Shashank, With a 4.5k Manipal rank, you can secure Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at MIT Manipal, which offers an 80–85% ECE placement rate, a vibrant campus, and strong recruiter presence from companies like Tata, Wipro, and Microsoft, with average packages around ?10.5–11.7 LPA and a median of ?8.5–9.7 LPA for 2024–2025. Your TS EAPCET rank of 8,919 makes ECE at top Telangana state colleges like Osmania University (cutoff ~3,540–5,500), CBIT (cutoff ~6,000), and Vasavi (cutoff ~6,000) unlikely, but you may get ECE at GRIET (cutoff ~13,541) or MGIT (cutoff ~13,541), which have good regional reputations but generally lower placement averages and recruiter diversity compared to Manipal. If you are interested in both CSE and ECE, CSE offers higher employability in the private sector, broader roles in software, data science, and analytics, and slightly higher average starting packages (?7–12 LPA for CSE vs. ?5–10 LPA for ECE), while ECE provides flexibility in both core electronics and IT jobs, with strong PSU and hardware opportunities.

Recommendation: Prefer ECE at MIT Manipal over state colleges for better national brand, recruiter diversity, and placement outcomes; if you are equally interested in CSE and ECE, CSE is better for wider job options and higher private-sector demand, but ECE at Manipal still ensures strong career prospects in both hardware and software domains. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
