We’re getting ready for some events in college and I’m part of a team dealing with judges and chief guests. The team has a leader, who was appointed by one of the teachers. But another member of the team, another guy, has a problem with him and so keeps on fighting over who should be invited etc. He even rejects the names and comes up with excuses etc. Because of this infighting, our projects are delayed. Now the teachers are upset. They do not know the reason why, but I feel like telling them. Will that be a bad thing?

Issues like this are common in college. It’s a time when everyone in a very charged up mood. One can blame it on hormones, or just bad parenting. I’d like to think of everyone as idiots but my wife tells me I shouldn’t be so negative. What does she know about this anyway, she was always the popular one in school and college, while I had to deal with the riff-raff. Anyway, the ideal thing to do would be to bring this to the attention of your superiors. Do remember however, that if you do this you need to go the whole hog and stand up for the person you side with. If the appointed leader is right, then you say so publicly. No one likes a rat, especially one who does it for the wrong reasons.

I love a girl but that girl likes another boy who has a gf. Once the boy's gf, whom my girl likes, used his facebook account and proposed her and innocently she accepted it. The boy doesn't have any idea about all this and the problem is he is one of my best friends. I really love that girl very much but I'm very shy at expressing my feelings. Please guide me on what to do
Mario
Man, you’re like Super Mario, on your way to get the princess, but forced to deal with weird stuff, like some other girl ‘proposing’ to her through her boyfriend’s account. Wow. I feel I’m on the sets of The Bold and the Beautiful. Is that show still on by the way? Of course, this is more like the Foolish and Clueless than anything else. Let me get this straight. You love this girl. She likes a boy. He has a girlfriend, who used her boyfriend’s account to ‘propose to her’. Girl 1 accepted. Boy crush is your best friend. Wow, at this point I’ll be willing to go break my wife’s favourite cutlery and face her wrath, rather than deal with his immensely convoluted problem. First thing that you need to do, if you really love this girl, is talk to your best friend, who is the guy she has a crush on. Clear things with him, but for goodness sake leave the issue of the facebook proposal alone. Then, tell Girl 1 how you feel. Step up and do it. If you really like someone then you face her and act like someone she would want to be with. Take her out for a date. Nothing big, just a movie or pizza. Let her get to know you better. And for goodness sake, GF IS NOT A WORD!

How do we deal with those people who are throwing their garbage in the rivers and streams in Goa? I see this regularly on the Ribandar causeway and even in other places where I travel as a representative of an alcohol company. It’s just difficult to stop on bridges or on the causeway and confront them.
Angry Goan
Well, the first thing to do is stop getting angry. It’s only messes your day and health up. These people are uncouth fools who have no care for the environment or the people around them. One will find that some of them are even considered upstanding citizens, wherever they are from. I see this often too. My solution is to embarrass them. I roll down my car window and applaud. I congratulate them on their apathy. I don’t really know if it works but I hope it does. Perhaps if more people do it this way, things might change. Who knows.
