Don’t bully or be bullied
I come from a very conservative family. My mother and father are against love marriage. Dad says he won’t see my face and mom says she will commit suicide if I even intend to go for love marriage. I love a girl who is crazy about me. I can’t break her heart or mine. Help me. Mr Sadu
Mr Sadu when the famous Targat General lay low was faced with the dilemma of crossing the stream or of learning swimming he simply removed his underpants and held them over head thus ensuring a safe dry underwear at the end of the ordeal. The point is every problem has a solution. If your parents are acting unreasonable, involve your grandparents or their friends, Some authority that they respect. This could be a golf professional a life guard or the bhajiwalla. (It could be a bhajiwali). Don’t be bullied but don’t bully either. Everybody has an ear for the right person. Be calm and assertive and always, always carry extra underwear at streams.
I am obese. I like a guy who is handsome. I feel if I tell him about my feelings, he won’t understand me. Please help. AB
AB for God’s sake 38% of the world is obese. I knew mountains and rocks that are obese. STOP with the labelling. The famous mountaineer Aroethe MA CK in his book. The Mountain of Youth asked himself this question, ‘ Are you happy being you?’. Obviously he wasn’t and as a consequence he made us suffer his incredibly boring book on his love for a mountain. So, are you happy being you AB? Don’t answer that right now because I won’t be able to hear you. But if you don’t like you, How’s Mr Lover gonna like you? If you like him, march on, fearlessly.
