Everybody loves you until you become competition

DEAR AUNTYJI

I have been working very hard at work, and have been getting on very well with my colleagues, including my peer Santosh. So I got offered a promotion and noticed that Santosh has been a bit standof sh with me. Further, he makes sarcastic comments to me also. Now because of my promotion, my previous role has opened up, and my manager suggested Santosh. I told my manager that Santosh was being a bit of a dick to me and my boss indicated that Santosh had indicated that he was better suited for a promotion because he was more technical than I am. When I heard this, I was gobsmacked. And I can’t believe he would plunge the kanjar in my peeth like that. So now my old pet project is being handed to Santosh, and I don’t know how I feel. I feel that he is getting rewarded despite being spiteful and small-minded. What should I do

Auntyji, I really don’t like these feelings of resentment.

AUNTYJI SAYS

Congratulations on your tarakki and I am sure there are many more successes coming your way. As for Santosh, yes, he appears to be a bitter, jealous, spiteful, small man, and he won’t get far with that attitude. Everyone will see him for what he is. As for how you feel - this is totally legitimate. I can understand why you feel this way, my little gulabo. So if I may quote the illustrious Mrs Obama, when they go low, we go high. So in this instance, understand that you will accept your feelings of resentment and soon they will be replaced by other feelings. I suggest you continue to be totally professional to Santosh. Let life take care of him. People with resentment and envy never get ahead. And if they do, the universe always has a delicious lesson ahead for them. So continue to work hard and focus on your new role. Let Santosh be Santosh. Sooner or later he will be found for the haraami that he is. May the black dog bite him in his sleep. What kind of ^%&*$#@ tries to get ahead by poking the kanjar in the peeth of a colleague.

Coping with divorce

Dear Auntyji

My beloved son is getting divorced. I am heartbroken. My two grandkids are the innocent victims in this. My formerly beloved daughter-in-law is now turning against us all. She is now complaining that when the kids come over, they are fed rubbish and consequently have stomach aches etc when they go home. I am so saddened by all this because none of this was an issue for 10 years. Now everything is a problem. Auntyji, I am at my wits’ end. I am trying so hard not to see faults anywhere but things are getting worse. I want to see my grandkids and feel it is my right. But the situation is not getting any better. My son is also heartbroken. Can you please tell me what we should do?
