Question by Ravi - Feb 01, 2023

hi sir I am 27 years old and currently planing to mf/SIP invest , Kindly guide me in which way and in which I should invest

Ans: hello Ravi

It's great that you're thinking about investing in mutual funds at a young age. Here are some general guidelines to help you get started:

Determine your investment goals: Start by figuring out what you want to achieve with your investment. Do you want to save for a down payment on a house, build an emergency fund, or create a retirement nest egg? Having clear goals will help you choose the right investment vehicle.

Assess your risk tolerance: Consider how much risk you're comfortable taking with your investment. Younger investors generally have a longer time horizon for their investments to grow, so they can afford to take on more risk.

Consider your asset allocation: Diversification is important to help manage risk. Consider dividing your investment among different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and cash.

Consider the mutual fund's investment style and past performance: Look at the fund's investment objectives, the types of securities it holds, and its past performance.

Remember that investing in mutual funds is a long-term strategy, and it's important to be patient and stick to your investment plan. It's also a good idea to periodically review your portfolio to make sure it's aligned with your goals and risk tolerance.

Consulting a financial advisor can be helpful in creating a personalized investment plan that takes into account your specific goals, risk tolerance, and financial situation

Ans: Hello Samrat. To achieve a corpus of 14Lakhs in 4 years, you may invest 20-22K in monthly sip.

Question by Amit - May 23, 2023

Career

I am a 72years young, spent a good life enjoying the returns from exports of leather goods while it shone. With the gilt and glamour gone from the now moribund enterprise, seeking a way about to earn some in Kolkata. No money to invest, only can impart whatever experience one has garnered over the years. Thought of Soft skill development like verbal/written business communication, but wonder if many give a damp about these when two, three or four letter words in emails suffice as nobody appreciates long letters anymore. Giffy is the hot word of the day. Personally I still feel there is still a need to be an effective communicator in all spheres of life What would be your advice on this? Thinking of content writing may be another avenue but how does go about it? Don't have too many years in hand to develop any complex data based subjective writing prowess. Await your wise suggestions.

Ans: Dear Amit ji, Age is never a factor to start a new career based on experience and a new skill. Kolkatta is a very happening city. You can get in touch with some publisher who is in content writing and communication area. They will further guide you. Best wishes and prayers, Dr Radhakrishnan Pillai

Health

I am having migraine.. I used most of the tablets . Can you please help me to overcome it

Ans: Migraine is caused by multiple reasons, Naturopathy recommends that you identify the cause and then look for a suitable cure accordingly. It can be controlled and even cured by naturopathy therapies, but you need a proper consult. I suggest you visit a Naturopath or an Ayurveda doctor for a complete wellness plan. Until then practice 10 mins of alternate long breathing morning evening on an empty stomach.

Question by Manish - Jun 02, 2023

Relationship

Hi mam, I can't getup early in the morning because of my Late night Phone habit. what should I do.

Ans: Dear Manish,
Any habit happens because of repetition...similarly to form a new useful habit, you need to repeat it sufficient number of times for it to become an automatic behaviour.
But you will not be able to form that new habit till you can convince your brain that what you lose from the old habit, you will somehow gain with a new useful habit.
So, ask yourself, what it is that I gain by being on my phone late night? Is it fun? Is it keeping me away from loneliness?
Now create, the same through your new habit...the same fun, the same company...you can join a gym, you can be a hobby...
These are mere examples...now apply it on to your situation and change...

All the best!

Asked by Anonymous - Jun 02, 2023

Relationship

I am a 45 years old Indian living in the US for the past 10 years with the family. Despite having a steady job and a pay which typically is considered high, I end up spending more than my income. My wife also works full time with good pay as well but she thinks it's my responsibility to provide and she just saves all her money in her own accounts. We have multiple properties on both our names including cars but only I pay. I pay for groceries, bills, travel everything. On discussing about the expenses, which I have done multiple times so far, she says I should be ashamed to expect money from a woman. If this continues, I will reach retirement age kind of broke I feel. Also, I will spend sleepless nights thinking about finances until then. Please advice.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Like in any partnership, marriage is one such partnership where everything is usually shared. But I do know of couples, where they mutually agree that one partner takes care of the bills and the other education etc.
In your case, your wife has been saving up and you have been bleeding dry of your finances.
But why exactly are you spending more than your income? Financial mismanagement? Maybe that's why your wife is worried that it might happen to her portion of the income too?
Having said that, I guess your wife also needs to move past the belief that the Man is solely responsible for bringing money home. By that logic, she should never have worked, right?

Since she is working as well, she can contribute towards the family to the extent it can help but it is also imperative that as a woman she keeps some finances saved as a back-up for herself. It provides a good safety blanket for a woman since she possibly feels that you are spending more than what you earn.
It's up to you to bring about the subject without her feeling that you are out to spend all her money. So, you really need to start with managing your finances better...I am sure things will get better from thereon...

All the best!

Question by Mahi - Jun 02, 2023

Relationship

Hi Anu, I hope you're doing well. I'm a 24 year old girl working as a software engineer. I was in love with a boy in long distance relationship and I met him only once. We both had great understanding, respect on each other. It was all good between us. On February 2023, he called me one day saying that he wants to tell his parents about our love matter. I said okay and asked him what he wanted to do if his family disagrees. He said that he'll wait until his family approves. I was okay with it and he informed to his family. But things started changing after he talked with his family. He wanted to break up with me. I told him many times that I wanted to be with him and don't want to break up. But, he didn't agree. Eventually, we stopped talking with each other. It was hard for me to move on but after few months, i finally decided to move on with my life. Then suddenly he messaged me saying that he wants to get back with me. I didn't agreed as I lost my trust on him. He even informed his family about getting back with me and they were okay with it. He wants to marry me. But, now the problem is I still like him, but I lost trust in him. I wanted to give him a chance but I'm afraid because of past break up with him. I'm confused about what should I do? Anu, can you please suggest me about giving him a chance or moving on with my life?

Ans: Dear Mahi,
Thank you for asking. I am doing well and trust that you too will be in the same space as well.
When what he has done has broken your trust, it is difficult to get it back... he has come back, but you are perhaps thinking: what if he pulls the same stunt again? And this makes you question every move of his...

If you look at it from his point of view, he possibly also loves you but his family pressures are getting to him and he can do only that much. Yes, it would have been more 'human' to talk to you about what had happened after he spoke with his family. But he chose not to and that lack of transparency is what has thrown you off...perhaps, he isn't all that mature emotionally or feels that he might lose you if he shares anything.

Whatever it is, your loss of trust on him is justified after the way he had behaved. If the two of you still want to give your relationship a chance, kindly do so...and clearly state to him that you have lost trust on him. Not only does he have explaining to do but he must reassure you that he will be honest with you in future. Also, give some time before committing to a marriage while you watch whether he has changed and he is consistent with what he has committed to changing. Only when you are sure, take a decision either way!

All the best!

Question by yadnya - Jun 01, 2023

Relationship

Hi currently i am doing bsc biotech with also i am doing neet preparation sometimes i feel pressurised i tried my best but due to two at time i get low marks than actual cutoff this year I feel disheartened can you suggest me how to think clearly and boost my self confidence how to work now as i feel like lost

Ans: Dear Yadnya,
Competitive exams are such! The mindset that is required to attempt these is not just hard work but also RESILIENCE; which means adapting the mind to reality with its challenges thrown at you...
It's not the question of mere passing or failing but a certain level at which you are required to perform. How will you know that before you sit down to write the exam? So, yes...there is a faint bit of luck involved perhaps...

Having said this; as much as you have put down structure and process to the way you study, put down a plan of how you will manage your mind irrespective of the outcome. Do not be attached to the results, but keep it as a Goal point! Attaching yourself to the outcome that is not in your control will only get you all stressed up...

1. Write down your Goal clearly
2. Put down a neat plan of action to achieve it
3. Break down the action plan into what you will do everyday
4. Do some physical exercise everyday
5. Set aside time to meet friends
6. Remind yourself that this exam is not the end of your dreams but one of the ways to live your dreams
7. Journal everyday to release stress

All the best!

Question by Hari - Mar 16, 2023

Health

Good morning Madam..I am 57 years old, working as Deputy General Manager in a PSU (Coal industry). I don't fall into sleep atleast for about 90-120 mins after going to bed. Pretty much disturbed sleep even after that. Not more than 3-4 hours of sleep. No habit of afternoon nap too. Usually hit the bed at around 9.15PM. Dinner completes by about 8.15PM. Strict vegetarian and teetotaler. Rarely eat out. Do pranayama for about 15-20 minutes first thing in morning on empty stomach. What should i do to get sufficient sleep? Hari Narayanan

Ans: Hello Sir, you need to increase the gap between dinner and sleep to a minimum of two hours so that the food is completely digested. As a part of sleep regime - take a stroll outside or even inside the house one hour after dinner for abt 15-30 minutes, depending on your stamina. A good sleep also needs a relaxed mind, therefore, try anulom vilom for 10-15 minutes and 5 minutes of Om chanting before your lie down for sleep. Hope this helps. You can also try half a cup of chamomile tea before hitting the bed.
