AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My father scolds me in front of my new wife in a very insulting way. I do not like it and I feel she is losing respect for me. Nowadays I have started retaliating back but that stops him for that time but next time he again loses his temper and does the same thing. Please Advise

You need to draw the line and make it clear to him that this is unacceptable. Instead of retaliating you should discuss with him, not in front of your wife but when alone about the reasons for his being so critical of you and try to address his concerns.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

What are these new Auroville Information Centres? How does this fit with Auroville International? I am involved in one of the Auroville International Center. Should I leave? πŸŸ‘πŸ™„πŸŒΌβœ¨

I think the new administration is dismantling the old structures and replacing them with new ones. Auroville International is perhaps being replaced by AIC. It is partly a change of name, partly to bring these Centres outside under the dispensation of the new management. What is more important however is the much awaited, …
