Dear Ravi:

When you close the door of your room, does she stop talking or does she keep talking to you through the door?

If she keeps talking to you through the door, re-read my suggestion about you opening the door and talking to her like I suggested.

As far as Jerry, I had a thought earlier, that if you practice asserting yourself with your mother and your grandmother, in a firm, strong voice etc., like I suggested… maybe you will have the courage one day to approach Jerry’s father (can you imagine?) introduce yourself to him, tell him you are interested in marrying his daughter, that you will be a good husband to her etc. I have no idea about the Indian tradition in these matters, but what if… that could be a good idea.

I was just thinking. Bed time for me…
