My BFF’s brother wears the same jeans Mon thru Sat, and by Thursday he stinks….

Dr Know, I know you have answered this question earlier, but it was more on BO. My BFF’s brother who also hangs around with us wears the same pair of jeans Monday through Saturday. By Thursday, he stinks. He tries to apply strong Charlie-like perfumes, but he is so repulsive. I like him, and so do all of us, but he somehow just doesn’t seem to understand that he’s being repulsive. What should we do? Last week, a friend even got the chutney at Vaishali to fall on it, but he just washed that part and wore it again. Uggggh!

Yuck!!!! this is sick.. but what beats my understanding is, why your boyfriend’s brother is playing ‘kabab main haddi’. I mean isn’t that a pain? Smelly jeans is bad, but the guy wearing the jeans stinks too! Imagine this threesome ahead in life; What a fine mess!

Now coming back to your stinky jean boy. There are 2-3 options that I will list here. You may pick and choose what suits you best and then execute with the deft and skill of a hangman. But all this is special Gyaan and hence needs to be classified so, lest my readers think my gyaan got dry-cleaned too.

Dr Know’s Gyaanology: Get your act together honey! This isn’t about jeans as much as it is about privacy. Here are your options:

1. Tell him off. If not him, then your boyfriend. Make it clear that you didn’t bargain for this when you got into the relationship. It’s a two-some or nothing.
2. Carry itching powder with you and quietly sprinkle it on his jeans, feet etc. Ideally on his handkerchief as well. You can be dog-sure his jeans will come off in a jiffy! Caution: Nudity. Please turn the other way.
3. Buy him a new pair of jeans and tell him that you have to see him wearing it. Hold the Vaishali chutney till he changes.

I have a feeling that my boyfriend likes me more because of my friend’s company than me. My friend already has a boyfriend, but she makes for good conversation. Nothing wrong in it, no? I hope I don’t have to feel insecure…

Nothing wrong at all. Life is one big party anyway and variety is the spice of life isn’t it? Who knows, you may just end up liking her boyfriend also better. Then its one big happy family. ‘Hum do our humara do’ or as they say, 2-in-1.

Simply fun..tastic!

So are you the pretty but quiet types and she the go-getter oomph type? Good to do a character analysis once a while… he he !  Will keep you on your toes.

Dr Know’s Gyaanology: This story has the potential of becoming a sequel to the ol’ English soap ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’.  Multiple people, multiple relationships and no one knows what is happening. No insecurity of any kind. All one big party sweetie.

But jokes apart, you need to keep an eye on these two. Why is she hanging around both of you anyway? Let her handle her boyfriend and you, yours! Chatting is fine but if it’s far too often and in your company, there could be something amiss. Either you better get more interesting or she ought-not to be there as a tag along. May the force be with you, darling.

Last weekend, after a few drinks, I accidentally kissed a friend after getting patting her on the back and holding her hand. I first thought that she would be upset about it, but she doesn’t seem to be. Should I apologise to her? I want to, but my concern is that it will remind her of the entire incident and she may flare up. What is your view, Dr Know?

Oh, mwah-mwah types. I wonder what the accident was all about.  Coming to think of it, this is one accident Dr Know loves! Drive safe, handsome, coz accidents can take a big toll especially if you are not covered by insurance.

You know what I mean, sweetie.  Am so sorry, I didn’t realise it’s you, Oh lord! what have I done. Damn these drinks… never again… and so on.

Dr Know’s Gyaanology: But since you ask; You are one smart cookie, aren’t you? Achcha, so tell me how these accidents are made to happen. Ooops, I mean happen. You are epic man. Keep having these accident every day and soon you will be the serial kisser of the country. What an honour.

My handsome hunk, watch where you are going. Don’t you dare take her for granted. Remember, every day is not a Sunday and you might just find a designer stiletto flung at you very soon. And this can be particularly damaging to the mandible..

Be well and take good care of yourself. A helmet can save your life.  Stay sensible and use protective gear always. Forgive them, Dear God, for they know not what they are doing.

My friends say that having had sex is the only proof or confirmation of the love relationship one has with the opposite sex. Is this true?

Well, well, honey, you certainly ask strange questions. To be honest, there are several methods to confirm your love and sex really doesn’t figure too high in this list. Tsk Tsk…!

To put it bluntly, you don’t need to bed to prove your love; Love is an emotion that is beyond beds and battles. It is about togetherness for life, faith, respect and above all understanding. Sex is at best a manifestation of the faith you have in each other, coupled with animal instinct.

Dr Know’s Gyaanology:  Now, why do I think you are trying to justify some rubbish you did a few days ago? Hmmmm.Somewhere there is a bandicoot hidden and I smell it! Learn to love sweetheart before you begin justifying your passion.

Copulation is desire-led more than anything else, unless of course you are dealing with a total chauvinist pig. In this case it’s all about ‘animal’ and the ‘alpha male’.  My advice to you would be to love fearlessly and from the heart. Leave the rest to your instinct. May you live happily ever after. Amen.
