Ans: Hi Divya ,it depends on 2things , the Real estate you want to buy is for personal use or you want to buy as an investment. If you intend to buy it for personal use then if you like the project ,location and believe the price is good ,then go ahead and buy it. But if you want to buy as an investment then a lot of factors are to be seen. Today the situation is very different as far as rent is concerned specially after covid time. so getting a good rent may or may not be possible. Also the home loan interest rates are going up in accordance with repo rate hike.so consider that too.

All the best!

Ans: Dear D,
Trust, love, setting effective boundaries and deep communication make a healthy marriage.

Ans: Dear Divya, Hope and fear in my opinion are the strongest emotions. And we learn parenting on the job. Secondly, mirroring is a well-worked upon strategy. Technology, including screen time gives us 'dopamine' and increases our senses uses. On the contrary, a normal paced life seems no fun and 'monotonous'. Every child wishes to push boundaries and present their self-identity. This leads to arguments and tempers soaring on both sides, a parents and also from the child. Strategies that help: 1. Put down your device and talk of your day to the family. 2. Listening, and agreeing, discussions as a family while eating meals is a great connect. 3. Having no-tech zones as bedrooms and dinning tables is another. 4. Lastly, give the child half an hour during a weekday and an extra 1 hour during weekends helps. It's 'what should I do' 'I am bored' reasons that demand the 'dopamine fix. And Divya, inviting children of the same age who all play together with your child works. Family game nights, dancing together and bed time stories work too. Do revert, on what worked.

Ans: 1 crore is the maximum coverage allowed by Insurers.

Ans: Looking at your years of experience and your CTC, I would say you are slightly underpaid at your current experience levels. After 8 years of experience, the average income of professionals in India is likely to be at a CTC of INR 12-15L. Sales & Marketing is one of the best domains that you are in and your experience is a bonus. From your current role, moving to Digital Marketing won't be a big challenge, and hence, I would recommend a few specific steps for you:
(a) Take up internal projects within your current organisation or at a smaller venture in Digital Marketing to build on your profile
(b) Pick up industry certifications with Google or Facebook to enhance your skill sets
(c) Actively work on your own social media profile and be more proactive in the domain of marketing
(d) If you want to build credibility in the market and amongst recruiters, it's critical to pursue an outcome-focused certification or a post-graduate program that will round you up & will also make your CV stronger (e) Within Digital Marketing, know what role you are looking for; is it Social media and Content Marketing, Performance Marketing, Marketing Analytics, Branding and Communications, or a PR professional, etc. and accordingly, aim for the profile that has the closest overlap with your current role. I would recommend doing a session with a career counsellor who can also guide you on your queries and can give you more personalised advice depending on your specific background. Additionally, upGrad gives you the option of completing an online course in Advanced Certificate in Digital Marketing and Communication with MICA Ahmedabad without having to quit your job along with 4 specialisation tracks (you could choose one based on your interests or skill competencies) to enhance your foundation.

Ans: Hi Divya, the ideal situation would be for parents and children to have no concerns. But all emotions are important. And developmental skills are age related. A child who is misbehaving and throwing a tantrum is demanding attention. We all need attention. I would suggest the following strategies: 1. Stay Calm: when you and the child are both losing cool, it does not work. Staying cool is being in command. go down on your knees and talk in a slow base tone, after the initial tantrum is over. 2.Distraction technique: Show a child something pretty, the sky, a butterfly, ask your child to help you with something. Bribery does not work, like " I ll give you a sweet if you stop crying, now." That gives the child the power to affect you. 3. Carry a Bag: A bag of few favorite things like a comic, colours and book, a toy and something to eat and a water bottle, it supports a child to keep busy in a grown-up public world. 4. Familiarise: Show a photograph of the place and the people the child would meet, to help child get acclimatised to the space and people. 5. Lastly, let your child wear comfortable clothes, and have a full tummy.

Ans: Your total cost of education includes living costs and is not just limited to course fees. You should consider other expenses as well including spends on accommodation, food, insurance, travel, and entertainment. Lenders typically finance a % of the overall cost of education. Most of the lenders can finance up to 80% of the amount, but in some cases this can go all the way up to 100%

The interest rates on lans against security (where you will pledge a property as a collateral) is typically 10% at this point in time, whereas the rate on unsecured loans hovers in the 11%-12% range in most cases. The exact interest rates are determined based on the applicant's profile. Secured loans have complete moratorium i.e. you are not required to make any payments during the period of study. Unsecured loans have requirements of partial or complete interest servicing during the period of study.

Ans: Hello Divya!

Ans: Hi Divya,
It’s absolutely normal for a 5 year old to get easily distracted. However it’s never too early to introduce yoga to your child, which in the long run will help him stay calm and focused. You may want to start with a few minutes of meditation with him. All you need to do is set a routine. Start with sitting in silence for 1 min where u and him sit together in a room with eyes closed, no talking and if possible not moving. Slowly you can then increase the duration to 1.5 mins and then to 2 min. How ever reminder not to be too hard on him. Let him enjoy doing this with you. You may also play some light meditation music if he enjoys that. This will help both of you calm down.

Ans: Hi Divya,Work from home is very much possible but for that you need to do something in the area of digital marketing. In MBA programs, generally they do not have digital marketing as a course. Today there are a lot of good online courses being offered by even IIMs. They are a bit xpensive. Not sure of your financial status but since your husband is earning you could do a good course and then seek employment otherwise it can be frustrating to do hit and trial. A good qualification is a direct long term investment on yourself which will remain with you for ever and will keep giving remuneration for life. Wish you luck.
