Hello again,

I have very [STRIKE]less[/STRIKE] little time on my hands. Use "less" for comparison. "Little" is used for a limited amount of time, and "on my hands" with time is the correct idiom.
OR
I have very less time in my hands. No. "In" would suggest a physical entity.

With an explanation.

Thank You.

Please stop demanding an explanation in your posts. Do you understand the word "please"? I have pointed it out to you before.
 
@bhaisahab : will keep that in mind
