Should I focus on my dream?
I am an 18-year-old and I like a girl at my tuition class. She knows that I like her and she also likes me. My main aim is to join the Indian Air Force, but I’m confused about whether to keep going with this relationship or just focus on my dream. She is a very nice girl and I feel that I couldn’t have found a girl better than her. What should I do?

Dear Vayam, the fact that you like that girl and she also likes you need not be an obstacle to focus on your dream of joining the Indian Air Force. This is the time for you to plan your future and achieve your goals, which will make your life happy and successful. I suggest that you explain this matter to her; I am sure she will understand and encourage you to follow your dream and make it a reality. You can be in touch with each other from time to time, and God willing, at the proper time, you can plan a life together.
