Relationship

Hello sir ,, i am Btech degree holder 31 year unmarried boy from Punjab, India . I wanna to look girl only from USA who should be USA citizen. I tried two dating apps also since last 3 years , i sent interest to all types of profiles such as unmarried girls, divorced girls , widowed , out of caste girls , out of religion girls , but i didnot get any avail from anyone. I am serious and good looking. Please , tell me any solution , how can i connect with USA families who are seriously looking for marriage Plz tell me ,, i am in totally confusion . I will be thankful to you if you will guide me in right way sir , plz

Ans: Dear Harpreet,

I understand that it can get frustrating when things don't work out at the pace we want them to, but don't rush with such important things as love and relationships. You are only 31. Take your time. Here's my suggestion-

Write a very engaging BIO that tells everything that is to know about you and most importantly, the fact that you are looking for a serious relationship and someone settled in the USA. This way, you can eliminate people who are not interested in serious relationships and are not from your preferred location. You can also attract the right kind of people if you mention the things you want in your partner and also everything that you have to offer in a relationship. Research a little and find dating apps that cater mostly to users looking for exclusive relationships that would lead to marriage. Join the one that seems suitable for your needs. One more thing, do not focus on the quantity of matches. Focus on the quality. You don't need ten matches to find the perfect one.

Just a gentle reminder, sometimes good things take time. I understand completely that you are feeling restless but take a breath. Focus on your friends and family for a while. Focus on yourself. Once you feel this dating fatigue calming down, come back to the game recharged. I am sure you will find your match soon.

Best Wishes!

Hi sir , i am single (age 31) and lives in India , but i am looking only USA punjabi girls , i tried famous Matrimonial apps like shaadi , jevensathi etc but most of usa girls' profiles are Fake there and some are non serious. , So , please tell me name of best matrimonial apps who are only of USA punjabi girls or any other way to find life partner from US except Advt.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,

I can assure you that all the apps that you mentioned using are not at fault. Every dating and matrimony app tries its best to maintain a safe and clean platform eliminating scammers and fake profiles. Some still make it through. I am glad you were on to them before it was too late. Having said that, I can not really help you with the names of matrimonial apps from the USA. But I can tell you how to secure the right match and stay clear of fake profiles.

You can write a clear bio where you mention what you want- the type of partner, type of relationship, and more; you can also clearly mention that you are looking to get married and are serious about it, so anyone looking for a casual relationship please do not contact.

Next, once you secure a match, you can check if it's a fake profile. Do a reverse image search of their profile picture and see if they have stolen someone else's image from the web. You can check for their social media presence. Almost everyone in today's date has an active social media presence. You can also check for genuineness while chatting-
• Request for a video call. If they refuse once, it's almost normal. But if they continually keep rejecting your request, it might be a fake profile.
• Try bringing up a topic you discussed the day before. Fake users scam many people at a time. It is possible that they won't be able to recall.
• You can request to speak to their parents. Since you are matching for marriage, involving the parents is quite normal. If the user seems hesitant, they might be fake or might not be serious.

Try these methods and if anything seems amiss, unmatch and move on. A match is not a commitment. You don't have to waste time verifying a match's authenticity for too long.

Hope this helps.

Hello, I am currently in Class 12 and preparing for JEE. I have not yet completed even 50% of the syllabus properly, but I aim to score around '110' marks. Could you suggest an effective strategy to achieve this? I know the target is relatively low, but I have category reservation, so it should be sufficient.
Ans: With category reservation (SC/ST/OBC), a score of 110 marks is absolutely achievable and realistic. Based on 2025 data, SC candidates qualified with approximately 60-65 percentile, and ST candidates with 45-55 percentile. Your target requires scoring just 37-40% marks, which is significantly lower than general category standards. This gives you a genuine advantage. Immediate Action Plan (December 2025 - January 2026): 4-5 Weeks. Week 1-2: High-Weightage Chapter Focus. Stop trying to complete the entire syllabus. Instead, focus exclusively on high-scoring chapters that carry maximum weightage: Physics (Modern Physics, Current Electricity, Work-Power-Energy, Rotation, Magnetism), Chemistry (Chemical Bonding, Thermodynamics, Coordination Compounds, Electrochemistry), and Maths (Integration, Differentiation, Vectors, 3D Geometry, Probability). These chapters alone can yield 80-100+ marks if practiced properly. Ignore topics you haven't studied yet. Week 2-3: Previous Year Questions (PYQs). Solve JEE Main PYQs from the last 10 years (2015-2025) for chapters you're studying. PYQs reveal question patterns and difficulty levels. Focus on understanding why answers are correct, not memorizing solutions. Week 3-4: Mock Tests & Error Analysis. Take 2-3 full-length mock tests weekly under timed conditions. This is crucial because mock tests build exam confidence, reveal time management weaknesses, and error analysis prevents repeated mistakes. Maintain an error notebook documenting every mistake—this becomes your revision guide. Week 4-5: Revision & Formula Consolidation. Create concise formula sheets for each subject. Spend 30 minutes daily reviewing formulas and key concepts. Avoid learning new topics entirely at this stage. Study Schedule (Daily): 7-8 Hours. Morning (5:00-7:30 AM): Physics concepts + 30 PYQs. Break (7:30-8:30 AM): Breakfast & rest. Mid-morning (8:30-11:00): Chemistry concepts + 20 PYQs. Lunch (11:00-1:00 PM): Full break. Afternoon (1:00-3:30 PM): Maths concepts + 30 PYQs. Evening (3:30-5:00 PM): Mock test or error review. Night (7:00-9:00 PM): Formula revision & weak area focus. Strategic Approach for 110 Marks: Attempt only confident questions and avoid negative marking by skipping difficult questions. Do easy questions first—in the exam, attempt all basic-level questions before attempting medium or hard ones. Focus on quality over quantity as 30 well-practiced questions beat 100 random questions. Master NCERT concepts as most JEE questions test NCERT concepts applied smartly. April 2026 Session Advantage. If January doesn't deliver desired results, April gives you a second chance with 3+ months to prepare. Use January as a practice attempt to identify weak areas, then focus intensively on those in February-March. Realistic Timeline: January 2026 target is 95-110 marks (achievable with focused 50% syllabus), while April 2026 target is 120-130 marks (with complete syllabus + experience). Your reservation benefit means you need only approximately 90-105 marks to qualify and secure admission to quality engineering colleges. Stop comparing yourself to general category cutoffs. Most Importantly: Consistency beats perfection. Study 6 focused hours daily rather than 12 distracted hours. Your 110-mark target is realistic—execute this plan with discipline. All the BEST for Your JEE 2026!

Dear Sir/Madam, I am currently a 1st year UG student studying engineering in Sairam Engineering College, But there the lack of exposure and strict academics feels so rigid and I don't like it that. It's like they don't gaf about skills but just wants us to memorize things and score a good CGPA, the only skill they want is you to memorize things and pass, there's even special class for students who don't perform well in academics and it is compulsory for them to attend or else the student and his/her parents needs to face authorities who lashes out. My question is when did engineering became something that requires good academics instead of actual learning and skill set. In sairam they provides us a coding platform in which we need to gain the required points for each semester which is ridiculous cuz most of the students here just look at the solution to code instead of actual debugging. I am passionate about engineering so I want to learn and experiment things instead of just memorizing, so I actually consider dropping out and I want to give jee a try and maybe viteee , srmjeee But i heard some people say SRM may provide exposure but not that good in placements. I may not be excellent at studies but my marks are decent. So gimme some insights about SRM and recommend me other colleges/universities which are good at exposure
Ans: First — your frustration is valid

What you are experiencing at Sairam is not engineering, it is rote-based credential production.

“When did engineering become memorizing instead of learning?”

Sadly, this shift happened decades ago in most Tier-3 private colleges in India.

About “coding platforms & points” – your observation is sharp

You are absolutely right:

Mandatory coding points → students copy solutions

Copying ≠ learning

Debugging & thinking are missing

This is pseudo-skill education — it looks modern but produces shallow engineers.

The fact that you noticed this in 1st year already puts you ahead of 80% students.

Should you DROP OUT and prepare for JEE / VITEEE / SRMJEEE?

Although VIT/SRM is better than Sairam Engineering College, but you may face the same problem. You will not face this type of problem only in some top IITs, but getting seat in those IITs will be difficult.
Instead of dropping immediately, consider:

???? Strategy:

Stay enrolled (degree security)

Reduce emotional investment in college rules

Use:

GitHub

Open-source projects

Hackathons

Internships (remote)

Hardware / software self-projects

This way:

College = formality

Learning = self-driven

Risk = minimal
