Calm down
I am a 42 years old guy and am suffering from obsessive syndrome. Whenever I see my wife talking to anyone I don’t seem to be able to tolerate it. I get a fit of rage and throw things around the house. I don’t think such a tendency is very healthy. I also feel pangs of jealousy when she is laughing and chatting with her friends. I want her to spend all her time with me and not mingle around with other people. We have 2 children but what they do with themselves or with their friends does not bother me. It is only my wife’s behavior that is of total interest to me as I feel she is my life partner and owes to be committed to me all the time.  She is annoyed with me. What should I do? 

Blame game
If a lovers’ tiff leaves you fuming, blame your parents, not your partner. The better your relationship was with your parents in the childhood, the better you are at getting over tiffs as an adult, according to a new study. Scientists from the University of Minnesota in the US monitored a group of babies born in the mid-1970s until they reached adulthood. They found that those who had a secure relationship with their parents were better at recovering from conflict 20 years later.

Boomerang boys are welcome!
Parents are three times more likely to allow their adult sons to return to the family home than daughters, revealed a survey. The Flying the Nest study showed that returning sons or ‘boomerang boys are considered more obliging house guests than their sisters and that they easily wrap their mothers around their little fingers. Sons are more likely to pay rent, lend a hand with the housework and accept parental advice on careers and love, compared with daughters who are regarded as lazier and less likely to contribute to the household, the survey discovered.

Myriad forms of art
Five ex-students get together and you have an assortment of mediums, artists, colours and even themes. Karwan, an exhibition of paintings and photography by former students of Kurukshatra University, is an attempt to bring forth various interpretations of art, as they perceive it. Beginning with abstracts, there's a splash of colour assuming shapes and forms on its own. Shares Monika, the artist, "I've tried depicting rampant nature obliteration taking place around us all the time." Then there's a complete series on nuclear families. One canvas juxtaposes face of a woman with face of man. She shares, "In nuclear families, despite staying so close people are not able to relate to each other.

The woman within
Whatever she's been through, she put it all on canvas. Woman Within, a series of paintings by Navpreet Kaur, celebrates life experienced during different phases. Needless to say, there's a woman in every picture accompanied with a remarkable use of colour. She shares, "The underlying theme of the exhibition is that we all live at two levels, physical and mental. The one that lives within you is the most intimate part of the self. This inner self is generally enveloped by the outer world but when it confronts the outer, it colours you in many shades and hues."
