Ballooned Sudoku SCORPIO PISCES Roobee Roy Got a problem? Don’t know who to turn to? Is it too personal to tell your mum or your partner? Look no further. Let our love guru Roobee Roy give you a shoulder to cry on. Her tips may be whacky, but they work! Write to roobeeroy@gmail.com Q. I am a 16-year-old girl and I have a huge problem with people irrespective of gender, who tend to touch me, even if they do not have any bad intentions. But I have relatives, both male and female who seem to think that hugging me tight or clasping me to their bosoms and almost suffocating me in the process is the best way to show their affection. I have complained to my mother but in vain. She feels I overreact. How do I escape these people’s very physical love and affection? - Resham Ghosh, Taratala A. Sweat all the time. As soon as you spot them coming, switch the fan or air conditioner off and do some vigorous physical exercises. Also keep ready a dripping nose. You could also try scratching your head like crazy to give the impression that your scalp is the breeding ground of lice. Then volunteer to hug them to show your love. Yes, your reputation as the huggable young thing in the family might suffer a blow, but I’m sure you won’t mind. Only make sure you know where to draw the line lest this becomes a habit and you end up giving wrong impressions to the cute boy next door. Q. I am a 30-year old man who works in an MNC. My imediate boss is a beautiful and smart woman and I used to share a very good rapport with her. We were friends and enjoyed working together. But of late I have started feeling that she likes me as more than a friend. I like her too and I think any guy would be more than lucky to have her as his girlfriend, but I am apprehensive too. Is it a good idea to enter a relationship with a woman who is in a higher position financially and status wise. What can I do? -Saikat Chatterjee, Bagbazaar A. Honey, whether in office or at home, she will wear the pants in your relationship anyway. So why be apprehensive of the inevitable? Rather, because you’ll have the experience and practice of obeying your better half at office, it will be easier to do the same at home, don’t you think? Honestly, has she even told you she likes you? Sure, it’s not a figment of your over-reaching imagination? To clarify you could always go and propose to her and write to us about the fireworks. Best wishes. Q. I hailed from an economically and socially backward class. My son must be admitted to a college but I am apprehensive about using the advantage of the quota system. I don’t want him to suffer like me from the supercilious behaviour of his classmates nor be low in self-confidence because of his status. At the same time, I want him to get a good education. Please help me.- Kailash Kole, Baruipur A. Eveyone is out there to take advantage. And if you are doing it legally, what’s the harm. But if you feel too strongly about it, let your son get admitted by strength of his merit. If he puts his mind to studying properly and diligently — no education is bad education. Q. I don’t get along well with my mother at all. Mother has a lot of expectations of me and does not take to it kindly if I fail in any way. Sometimes I feel that all she cares about is being able to boast of her daughter’s success. I have been thinking of moving out but can’t because my father will be deeply upset. Is there a way my mother and I can engage in a healthy relationship? -Sromona Sen, Dhakuria A. Start failing in everything. That way the level of her expectations will come down and she will find reasons to rejoice everytime you do something marginally well. Sincerely, my dear, every mother has expectations. Talk to her very nicely, show her some signs of affection and consult her every now and then. Do things together, At the risk of sounding cheesy, this is the best relationship on earth and do your best to salvage it. Have patience and faith in yourself.
