1 . Hi Team , I am from Mumbai and I am pursuing my degree now . I have a darker complexion compared to people here . My friends are really nice but may be un-intentionally they pick on me based on my colour . It gets annoying and I feel very low . I don ’ t stand up for myself as I feel I ’ ll lose my friends . But all this is breaking my confidence . Please Help . Dark is daring ! Dark is deep ! Why do you bother about your skin color at all ? Don ’ t be intimidated by the immature people around you who pick you based on your color . Be proud of what you are . End of the day , it ’ s your character and personality that ’ s going to make all the difference and not the color . Stay calm , cool , smart and positive . That ’ ll make you more beautiful and not the color !
2 . Hi , I have trouble keeping up with pressure . I undergo depression most of the time and that definitely doesn ’ t feel good . I feel like staying back at home , under the blanket almost all the time . What do I do to bring myself up ? Look deep within yourself . Explore whatever you are . Try to bring out the best in you . Always remember , not everyone have the same qualities . Some discover them early and explore them to the fullest and some discover them much later . But everyone has some innate qualities that make their personality . Accept what you are and if you want to change , don ’ t force it on you . Take baby-steps to open up . List down
what you want to achieve , personally and professionally . Also list down how you think you can do it , one by one . Start working on it and see how it progresses . You will be the butterfly that blooms out beautifully from the cocoon one day , but only if you try .
3 . Hi , I have troubles with my boyfriend all the time . He is very abusive , but I really love him . I definitely can ’ t let go of him . I want to convert this relationship to marriage but no one seems to support me . Any suggestions ? There are two ways to approach it : Way 1 – Talk openly . Explain your feelings and make him understand how you get hurt openly . He will not change one fine morning . If it is because of some misunderstanding and you want to give him one more chance try this out . Way 2 – You analyze the situations practically and take a Decision whether or not to go forward with the relation . Don ’ t expect an abusive partner to get better with marriage ! Imagine what would happen to you and the families ( if they are involved too ) if things get worse after marriage ? Give some more efforts to straighten things between you both . But be practical about the entire matter . Don ’ t let your emotions take over your life . Even if things don ’ t go well , it ’ s not the end of the world . You can take all your learning and experience from this relation to create a more beautiful one later . It ’ s really no big deal , definitely not bigger than your own life !
