The following Column is from Dr. Dayal Mirchandani, Psychiatrist, from the February 2025 Edition
Q) I want to play in the evenings tuitions take up all the time.
This is a common problem. You must talk to your parents and try to work out a schedule that gives you at least two or three days free in the week. Evaluate the real need for the tuition.
Q) I don’t like the tiffin my mother sends me. It is often biscuits. She has no time to make a dabba for me. What to do
Tell mom to have some food ready the day before, keep it in the fridge overnight and if you are old enough, heat it yourself. But if you aren’t, ask Mom to heat it in the morning for you, and there you have a solution.
Q) My mother and father cannot help with my studies. They don’t know they say.
Today, there are online teachers available with free online courses for every subject. Sometimes you can ask your friends for help. Ask if you can afford tuition. If you can that’s your solution but if you can’t,
make the best use of the internet.
Q) I have dreams but I feel my parents do not have the money to help me get there
Work hard, and do your best to get scholarships. They can help you achieve all kinds of dreams. To get those scholarships, build on skills and enhance your CV by performing activities in extracurriculars.
Q) I want to speak English but everyone in my school prefers Konkani
You can use Duolingo. Find people who speak English you can share an activity with.
