You can organise gender sensitisation workshops to bring an orientation in this aspect through thinking, practices and approach of individuals concerning genders which should be addressed not only to students but also their parents and teachers. You, too, require guidance in the right direction. Focus on what you can do to bring about a difference in the way people think and act. --- Jitendra Nagpal

Most people respond to the changing seasons with changes in mood, metabolism and behaviour. Many people find they eat and sleep slightly more in the cold season and dislike the dark mornings and short days – this is commonly referred to as ‘winter blues’. Symptoms such as oversleeping, overeating, dullness, lack of energy and motivation and lethargy are common  during the winter months.

Common research suggests that lack of bright sunlight makes a difference in brain chemistry. Evidence has suggested that serotonin levels increase with exposure to bright light and medication, wherever required, has a positive effect along with a well-structured daily routine and physical exercise and socialisation.

You could try a few things to deal with the mood swings. Interface with daylight whenever you can. Do some structured exercises. Eat fresh fruits, vegetables and healthy beverages.  -- Jitendra Nagpal

Relationships and career-making often coincide to test your mettle and life skills. But that’s an important learning for life. First, it is important for you to accept the present reality and try to bring about a change in your thinking process. You need to understand that life is very unpredictable and often such things happen or situations which are beyond our control suddenly crop up. But at the same time we must have the courage and will power to face such situations and deal with them effectively. This courage comes by changing one’s attitude and perceptions. Always remember that the past is an information bank from which you can learn but it is not a web in which you are caught. You cannot run from your past, nor can you change it. It will always stay with you but it is required that you store your past in your memory as a learning experience. Try to introspect and ask yourself, where you went wrong in that particular relationship or what was lacking which led to a break-up, rather than feeling sad and low. You should treat that episode as an experience from which you got to learn a lot. Therefore, make an attempt to sow seeds of positive memories and let time heal the sad memories that have affected you. Being not just good but a great friend to yourself is the first thing you can do for a healthy, balanced life. Also, be optimistic about your future and this optimism will give you the strength to grow and flourish in the best possible way. Always remember that whatever happens in life happens for good and there is something or someone much better in store for you. You just need to be happy and welcome the bright future approaching you. Good luck and best wishes. -- Jitendra Nagpal
