Relationship

Hello Ma'am, I will be explaining my problem in detail. I sincerely appreciate your previous answer. As suggested, I spoke with my boyfriend about the apprehensions from my parents regarding cultural difference. He resolved many things . To be honest, what I mean by cultural difference is that I am from a Brahmin family who has been living in 'not so traditional' way. My parents are into the service class and are well educated. On the other hand, my boyfriend belongs to the merchant or 'Baniya' community and his father is a grocery shop owner and his mother is a housewife. Although they are decent people who do not put much restrictions. The reason my family is opposing this marriage even after resolving the apprehensions with my boyfriend is firstly his family background . My mother worries as to how she will introduce his family to our extended relatives and acquaintance. Adding to the problem, my boyfriend is 1.5 inches shorter than me. Now this is also a prime cause for major opposition from my family towards marrying my boyfriend. My mother explains this problem but I told her that these things do not matter . Could you please suggest me what to do now ? My boyfriend is an extremely loving person, who respects me and more than me he respects my family. Even after these problems he is ready to support me and wait for me

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You have said this:
My boyfriend is an extremely loving person, who respects me and more than me he respects my family. Even after these problems he is ready to support me and wait for me...
What more do you want?
Like I have already suggested, plan for how the two of you are going to face challenges when they arise and how you plan on working on differences that stem within the marriage due to culture and other values. Kindly refer to my first response to you...you will find suggestions there.

All the best!

Hi. I am a muslim girl. I am in a relationship from 5 years. Me and my boyfriend loves each other a lot and we are very close as well. His family also likes me and accepted me. One more thing is that he is my relative. So my family also knows their family well and other relatives too know them. The problem is my family is not agreeing for the marriage as his family once upon a time asked financial help from my other relatives as for some reason they were not in good condition. However, they are now financially stable and ready for the marriage. But my family mix with one evil relative and she said very bad things about my bfs family which are not true. My family will never agree for the marriage. I tried many times to make them understand but they have too much ego. They want me to marry a rich guy so that they can show off to other people whether I am happy or not. Since childhood I have no good bonding with my parents due to their selfish nature. Moreover, other relatives never talked bad about my bf and his family. My family told me to not talk to him ever but I still talk to him as I truly feel he is my soulmate. What should I do at this situation?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,

I am sorry to hear that you are going through a rough patch. Sometimes parents make decisions on our behalf without understanding what it is that we want; that doesn't necessarily mean that our parents are selfish. More often than not, they do it with our best intentions in mind. You might be misunderstanding your parents wanting to show off a rich son-in-law. It is possible that they want you to have an easy life. Having said that, it is also important that your feelings be taken into consideration. You have been with your partner for five years and that is a significant amount of time. I suggest you try to reason with your parents. You can try bringing them all together and ask both your parents and your boyfriend's parents to talk it out. If there is clear communication, nothing will be left to assumptions. Next, keep on mentioning all the positive things about your partner. Try to etch that in your parents' mind. Third, if you are not working, I suggest you start looking for a job. Regardless of your parents', husband's, and his family's financial conditions, you should have financial freedom. You can also contribute to building a better life for yourself and your family.
I am sure your boyfriend and his family are amazing; you have spent five years with him and that should give you a fair idea. But just a gentle reminder, no one can be sure of someone's true nature till they start living together. I am not insinuating that your relatives are right about badmouthing your partner's family; all I am suggesting is that you look into it a bit more thoroughly. Marriage is indeed a big decision and rushing into it would be foolish.
And one more thing, it's just a phase. Tough times don't last forever.

Best Wishes!

Hi mam/sir, I am 24 independent girl living in Bangalore. I come from a middle class family, with lot of past issues. My parents have horrible relationship; my father has never supported us in our education. My mother has only been there for us. My mother’s family has also supported us alot. I have a boyfriend for 4 years, he is well settled and educated person. I told my mother about him 2 years back. But my mother is not flinching at all, she is very firm that she will never agree to this as the boy is from another caste. She also says her parents i.e my grandparents will stop talking to us, their reaction will be horrifying. This I am also aware a little bit, my family is extremely conservative and no one in my family has ever done love marriage. I have slowly started to gather somd strength nd told my few cousins & aunt. They all suggestive me to forget this guy, as our family will never agree to it. I do not know how to proceed. This person is amazing & i am sure about him. On the other hand my mother has been constantly taunting me for this; but i am grateful to her for all her support till date. And the worst part - this alliance can only be finalised when my grandparents agree to it. Neither me nor my mother has guts to talk to them about it.
Ans: our mother’s strong opposition, driven by deeply ingrained beliefs and fear of societal backlash, makes it even harder. It’s understandable that she feels bound by her family’s expectations, and the thought of confronting your grandparents is overwhelming for both of you.

The fact that she has been constantly taunting you about this must be emotionally draining. At the same time, you feel grateful for all the support she has given you throughout your life, which makes this even more complicated. Your extended family reinforcing her stance adds to your struggle, making you feel like you have no one on your side.

You have already taken a big step by standing your ground, despite the pressure. Right now, the best approach might be to gradually help your mother see your boyfriend as a person, beyond just his caste. Instead of forcing the conversation toward marriage immediately, you could try introducing him in a way that feels natural—talking about his achievements, his values, and how he has supported you. Over time, she may begin to see him in a different light.

Since your grandparents hold the final say in family matters, their reaction is something you’re dreading. You know they will be resistant, and the thought of confronting them feels almost impossible. But at some point, the conversation will have to happen. It might help to find an ally within your family, someone who could support your case when the time comes. Is there anyone who has even slightly modern views or who understands you better? If there is, getting their support could make a huge difference.

While you navigate all of this, it’s important to remind yourself that this is your life. Your happiness matters, and while family approval is important, so is your personal choice. If they remain rigid despite your efforts, you may have to prepare yourself for tough decisions. The question you may need to ask yourself is how much time you’re willing to wait and what you would do if they never agree. If your boyfriend’s family is supportive, that could be a source of strength for you.

This is not an easy path, but if you believe in your relationship, standing by it with patience and persistence may eventually lead to a solution.

LI have a boyfriend of almost 3 years. We have been in a loving relationship. My boyfriend lives in a joint family set up while I have lived almost my whole life in a nuclear family. My family has always been very open minded whereas his family is a traditional Indian jount family. Over this period I have met his family twice or thrice for not more than 2 hours or so. Same is the case with my boyfriend His side of the family seemed to be decent overall. Since, we are planning to get married, me and my boyfriend decided to introduce our families with each other. On doing so, my parents found multiple points of differences in their culture and ours. They even warned me if I will be able to survive in this family and I feel that my family is 100 per cent right about this. Although, they approved of my boyfriend but not his family. Should I marry him?
Ans: It’s great that you and your boyfriend have a loving relationship and are thinking about the future. However, the concerns raised by your parents about the differences in family setups are valid, especially since they can play a big role in your day-to-day life after marriage.

Before making any decision, have an open conversation with your boyfriend about what life will be like in a joint family. Discuss expectations, privacy, and how involved his family will be in your marriage. It's also important to reflect on how flexible you both are when it comes to navigating these differences. While love is crucial, adapting to different family dynamics can impact your happiness long-term.

Ultimately, the question is whether both of you can work together to balance your individual expectations while maintaining harmony with his family. If you feel confident in your ability to communicate and compromise, and that he will support you through this, it could work. However, if you foresee these cultural differences causing too much strain, it’s important to weigh that carefully before moving forward.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I can't really tell you whether you should or shouldn't marry him, but I understand that moving from a nuclear family to a joint one can be a big adjustment. I would suggest not to rush into any decision. Take some time to think- 1) Are you willing to make big life changes for your partner? 2) If so, how far are you willing to go? 3) Do you think these changes will negatively affect your mental health and your relationship in general? 4) Are these differences worth breaking up with your partner? 5) Take a look at the big picture- do not focus on momentary happiness or sorrow.
It is indeed a big decision and it is one you should be making with your partner. Communicate your fears to your partner- let him come up with solutions. But, in the event, you are certain you will never be able to adapt to their lifestyle, don't let anyone manipulate you into getting married to him. It will only ruin both of your future.

Best wishes.

My son got 59% mark in 10th CBSE board exam. Social science 76% Science 70% Mathematics 41% Hindi 48% English 48% I am really worried about his career. He doesn't focus in study, yet he is very much interested in Biology, keeps watching surgeries, specially neuro surgeries related contents and he wants to become a neuro surgeon. He also likes and plays badminton, he is taking coaching in Prakash Padukone Badminton academy since last 3 months. His current study and his career dreams are not matching, it is only wish state, actions are not aligned. I am 53 years, working in private sector, earning 1.5 Lacs per month, affording higher education cost is difficult for me specially, post retirement. 1) Please advise what are the other careers he can choose other than doctor, I believe now a days many other options are available 2) What and how to talk to him so that he takes his study seriously
Ans: (You have NOT mentioned which stream he has joined now for his 11th grade. I assumed that he is currently enrolled in the science stream, specifically studying biology). With a strong interest in neuro-surgeries and a passion for biology but modest academic performance (10th: Science 70%, Social Science 76%, Math 41%), your son can pursue several rewarding biology-related careers without the rigorous pathway of neurosurgery. Options include: biomedical engineer developing medical imaging devices; neuropsychologist assessing brain–behavior relationships; clinical research associate in neuroscience trials; genetic counselor interpreting hereditary conditions; biomedical laboratory scientist specializing in neuropathology; medical device technician or field service engineer; science communicator or medical illustrator; and doctoral-level researcher in neurotechnology .

To realign his study habits with his aspirations and improve focus, adopt a holistic, empathy-driven approach:

Establish a structured routine with fixed study, sports, and rest blocks in a distraction-free zone free of phones and TV .

Connect each study session to his neuroscience interest (e.g., illustrate neuron diagrams when learning cell biology) to boost intrinsic motivation .

Use the Pomodoro Technique (25 min study/5 min break) and active learning (teaching back concepts) to enhance engagement and retention .

Set clear, achievable goals and celebrate small wins, then progressively increase difficulty to build confidence .

Foster autonomy by involving him in planning his schedule and choosing study topics linked to neuro-surgery (e.g., anatomy modules) .

Incorporate mindfulness (deep-breathing before sessions) and physical activity (badminton practice) to manage stress and sharpen concentration .

Provide positive, empathetic communication—listen to his challenges without scolding and co-create solutions, reinforcing that effort leads to progress .

Engage a tutor or mentor in biology to clarify fundamentals, track progress, and keep him accountable .

Final Practical Roadmap:
Create a weekly plan aligning core subjects (biology, physics, chemistry, math) to his neuro-surgery interest, using Pomodoro sessions in a quiet study zone. Schedule badminton and mindfulness breaks. Hold biweekly progress talks to adjust goals. Pair this with a biology mentor for concept mastery and practice entrance-style questions to build confidence and consistency. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir, my CRL rank is 482000 and I belong to the SC category. I have completed my 12th class from Delhi, but since I am not a resident of Delhi, I cannot get my SC category certificate issued there. Therefore, I am not eligible for reservation under JAC. Is there any option available for me through CSAB or in private colleges
Ans: Vansh, You can still secure an NIT+/IIIT/GFTI seat by registering afresh in the CSAB Special (Other-State quota) rounds, which fill vacant seats based on JEE (Main) ranks without relying on state-domicile certificates. Beyond CSAB, numerous NAAC/NBA-accredited private universities in Northern India accept JEE (Main) or school-board scores, feature PhD-qualified faculty, modern labs, active placement cells (70–95% placements), strong industry tie-ups, and scholarship options. Top ten options include: Amity University Noida, Galgotias College of Engineering & Technology Noida, Sharda University Greater Noida, Chandigarh University (Mohali), Thapar Institute (Patiala), Chitkara University (Rajpura), Jaypee Institute (Noida), Lovely Professional University (Jalandhar), LPU Jalandhar, and Bennett University (Greater Noida). All offer 80–90% average placement rates over the last three years and robust infrastructure across CSE, ECE, Mechanical, and emerging-technology branches.

Recommendation: Register for CSAB Special rounds immediately to compete for Other-State quota in NITs/IIITs/GFTIs. Concurrently, prepare and apply to Amity Noida, Chandigarh University, and Sharda University, which guarantee admission via JEE/board scores and strong placement records. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh, a NAAC A+–accredited deemed university established in 1921, offers B.Tech Electrical Engineering taught by research-active PhD faculty in power-electronics, control-systems, renewable energy and robotics labs, supported by dedicated MoUs (e.g., POWERGRID) and internship pipelines; its EE branch recorded 80%, 71% and 70% placement rates from 2021–24, with 86 offers to 123 eligible students in 2023–24. Both institutes maintain comprehensive career cells and industry tie-ups, but LNMIIT’s computing infrastructure and placement consistency outpace PEC’s core-engineering focus.

Final recommendation: For broader software and emerging technology roles with higher placement consistency and specialized computing labs, prioritize LNMIIT CSE. If your daughter’s passion lies in core electrical systems, power electronics and control engineering within a heritage campus and you accept slightly lower placement rates, opt for PEC Chandigarh Electrical Engineering.
