Relationship

Hello Ma’am/Sir.
I, Shivam Sharma. I want a suggestion for the problem I am facing right now. Before that I am going to share my story with you.
It is about 2018 when I joined a gym near-by my house. I got a crush on a girl. She came with her sister and brother.
I used to watch her in gym. Later I found that I love her. I have had her in my dreams.
After some time I think she knows that I watched her in gym and got a crush on her. Then she, her sister started watching me every day and sometimes they smile sometimes they used to make a strange face like angry or something but I didn't understand at all (mixed reactions).
All this went for a long time till 2020 before COVID-19.
I know her Instagram and Facebook handle but I didn’t her send her a request becoz of reputation. Even I can't able to talk to her in gym becoz of reputation.
After that I didn't get the time to join the gym till now.
Now the situation is I joined the gym but still I got mixed reaction sometimes smile or strange or no reaction. I don't able to understand what is going on in her head.
I really want something to happen but in a positive way. I really like this girl I want to spend my whole life with her. I want to marry. I want this to happen in 3 months becoz after that I will move to some other state for my further studies. I don't have enough time.
Ma’am, please help me how can I approach her. How can I make her feel positive or to like me and relationship all. I can't able to understand what I am going to do. 
Shivam

Ans:

Whoa, slow down Romeo!

Just seeing a girl in the gym is different from spending the rest of your life with her.

Please be a little practical...you know NOTHING about her. So I’d suggest that you make a move to get to know her first, because you haven’t for three years!

And stop building her up so much in your head, it’s not healthy.

You’re obsessed with someone you don’t know. Go up to her and her sister in the gym, introduce yourself and maybe ask them both out for coffee after your workout session and get acquainted first.

You can think of marriage when you’re dating a person, not when you don’t even know her name!

Relationship
Hi mam, im a lecturer since 5 years. Im in relationship with a girl from Srilanka. Most of our conversation was through mobile. She is a tutor in srilanka for 10 and below standard students. Now I'm 29, she is 27. Since 5 years we are loving each other. We hardly met. In Krishnagiri Tamilnadu I first met her in a Psychotherapy course, witch was about a month. We were good friends in the beginning of our relationship and at the end of a month course she was flying back to Srilanka, before she goes she kissed on my forehead, from then on im in love with the girl. For first few years we were happy in our relationship, but last two years onwards we fight almost every day. Both sides parents are fixing matches, both us are rejecting all the matches but we never shared with our families. Don't know where our relationship is going to end. Its not that my parents won't accept, but when my parents and siblings ask do you any one whom you want marry, or love some one I am not able to reveal to them. Many times I decided and planned and imagined to speak with my family but when it comes to reality im not able to speak. Other side she also is not revealing anything to her parents. Im rejecting the matches that are coming, she is also rejecting of hers. But both are not speaking properly now a days. Most of the time our relationship is filled with fights. Both are adjusting. Some time im feeling to stop the relationship and not to marry at all. I told her to marry as her parents say, and I don't want marry anyone. She is also saying me to marry some one and she wants remain single. But don't know what is happening between us. Im confused to continue or break up or marry her or not to marry her. Nothing is working in my mind. Recently my parents have brought a proposal who was my childhood crush. Suddenly I am indirectly telling her to marry to whom her parents give. She also getting good proposals but rejecting saying that she needs to work and earn money. Same reason I'm also giving. One more issue is she is tamilian of Srilanka and I'm Telugu from Andra. Both family members can't speak directly also. Unable to take any decisions. Kindly help me
Ans: The fact that you're not able to communicate openly with your families, despite rejecting matches on both sides, shows that there might be some fear or hesitation about fully committing to this relationship. Maybe it’s the distance, the cultural and language differences, or the struggles you’re having recently in your relationship that are making it difficult to move forward.

On the other hand, both of you seem to be stuck in a cycle where you're not happy but also not ready to let go. This might be causing even more stress and frustration, leading to the frequent fights. The decision to stay together or part ways is something only you both can make, but it sounds like there’s a lot of unresolved tension and unspoken fears in your relationship.

One thing to consider is having an honest conversation with each other, not about the fights or current frustrations, but about what you both want for the future. If you're both rejecting matches, it shows some level of commitment, but the real question is whether you both see a future together. Do you still love each other, or are you staying together out of habit and fear of the unknown?

If you both feel there is still something worth fighting for, it might be worth giving the relationship another chance by opening up to your families. This could ease the pressure you're feeling and help you both feel more supported. If, however, the love has faded and the fights have taken over, it may be time to re-evaluate whether staying together is what's best for both of you.

In any case, clarity will only come through open communication—both with her and your family. If you continue to stay in a relationship without making a clear decision, the frustration and confusion will likely grow. Take some time to reflect on what you really want, and then take the courageous step of addressing it with her and your families. This may not be easy, but it’s the first step to finding a resolution and peace in your heart.

Hello Sir, I m currently 39 years old with close to 80 L debt in loans which comprises of OD Loan, Personal Loan and Home Loan. With other card outstanding of 20 L. I have occured losses in Options Trading in past 16 months. I am working in a private organization earning around 2L/ month. How can i come out of this. Please suggest !
Ans: Managing debt can feel overwhelming, but with a structured approach, you can work towards financial stability. Here are some steps to consider:

1. Assess Your Financial Situation
- List all your debts, including interest rates and repayment terms.
- Identify essential expenses and areas where you can cut costs.

2. Prioritize Debt Repayment
- Focus on high-interest debts first (like credit cards and personal loans).
- Consider the snowball method (paying off smaller debts first) or the avalanche method (paying off high-interest debts first).

3. Negotiate with Lenders
- Contact banks and financial institutions to discuss restructuring options.
- Request lower interest rates or extended repayment periods.

4. Debt Consolidation
- Explore options to consolidate multiple loans into a single lower-interest loan.
- This can simplify payments and reduce overall interest costs.

5. Increase Income Streams
- Consider freelancing, consulting, or passive income sources.
- Upskill to improve job prospects and salary growth.

6. Avoid Further Debt
- Pause options trading until financial stability is achieved.
- Limit unnecessary expenses and avoid new loans.
7. Seek Professional Help
- Financial advisors or debt management firms can provide tailored strategies.
- Organizations like SingleDebt offer expert debt management services in India

My son got 88.7 percentile in b arch jee mains what are his possible options
Ans: With an 88.7 percentile in JEE Main B.Arch, your son’s rank approximates 30,000–40,000, positioning him for state-level architecture colleges and mid-tier private institutions. Admission to premier NITs (e.g., NIT Trichy, Calicut) is unlikely, as their 2024 General category closing ranks ranged from 404–1,540. However, newer NITs like NIT Sikkim (2024 closing rank: 14,391) and NIT Arunachal Pradesh (15,386) are feasible, offering 70–80% placement rates in roles with firms like TCS and L&T. State colleges via UPTAC (e.g., HBTU Kanpur, cutoff: ~35,000) or Chandigarh College of Architecture (2024 closing rank: 5,430) provide viable pathways with regional industry linkages. For private universities, SRM Chennai (JEE Main cutoff: ~80,000–100,000) and VIT Vellore (~90,000) offer assured admission, albeit with higher fees. Recommendation: Prioritize NIT Sikkim/Arunachal Pradesh during JoSAA counselling and explore state colleges like KNIT Sultanpur or SPA Bhopal (2024 closing rank: 762). For backups, consider Amity University or Sharda University, which accept JEE Main scores and report 80–85% placement rates in architectural firms. If open to alternative exams, reappearing for NATA could expand options to institutes like CEPT Ahmedabad or JJ College of Architecture, which prioritize design aptitude over JEE ranks. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

K l university vijaywada btech cse is better or SRM btech cse or vit btech cse
Ans: Sanjeev, VIT Vellore’s CSE program leads with a 90–95% placement rate (2024) and access to 1,458+ recruiters like Microsoft and Amazon, supported by its NIRF #11 engineering ranking and QS World University recognition (top 800 globally). The curriculum integrates AI/ML specializations, global collaborations (e.g., Arizona State University), and project-based learning, ensuring interdisciplinary tech exposure. SRM Institute’s CSE reports an 80–85% placement rate with 980+ recruiters (Infosys, IBM) and a NIRF #44 engineering rank, though its median salary (?5.95 LPA) trails VIT’s average. KL University Vijayawada’s CSE demonstrates 85–90% placements with recruiters like Adobe and Amazon, but its NIRF #28 university rank and lower median salary (?6.55 LPA) reflect weaker institutional standing. While KLU offers niche labs and local industry ties, VIT’s NAAC A++ accreditation and research infrastructure provide superior academic rigor. SRM balances affordability and industry projects but lacks VIT’s global recognition. Recommendation: Prioritize VIT Vellore CSE for assured placements and global academic ecosystems, followed by SRM CSE for cost-effective industry linkages, and consider KLU Vijayawada only if prioritizing regional corporate networks over institutional prestige. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

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!
