    Mr. Kapasi and Mrs. Mina Das are trapped in a failing marriage. Mr. Kapasi feels dispassionate emotion from his wife because of her apathy in him and his job “never ask[ing] him about the patients who came to the doctor’s office, or said that his job was a big responsibility” (Lahiri 454). His job working as an interpreter, for the doctor who failed to save their young son’s life, only reminds his wife more of their son causing grief with little recovery from his…

    Das does not try to show affection towards Mrs. Das. Hiding behind his camera, Mr. Das is unaware of what really is going on around them. Instead of taking in his surroundings Mr. Das will only remember through looking at his pictures. Mr. Das likes to think there is nothing wrong with his life however, his marriage is not passionate or thoughtful. “She was lost behind her sunglasses, ignoring her husband’s request that she pose for another picture, walking past her children as if they were strangers” (Lahiri 58). Mr. Das does not connect with his surroundings except through his camera and guide book. He does not notice his wife or bothers to see why she acts the way she does. Mrs. Das is inconsiderable and could care less of being in another picture with her family she doesn’t like. Mrs. Das opens up to Mr. Kapasi hoping he could help her because he is an interpreter of maladies. She confesses to him that her younger son, Bobby, is the product of an affair she had eight years ago. Mrs. Das slept with a friend of Mr. Das’s who came to visit while she was a lonely housewife and she has never told anyone before.

    In the story ‘sexy’ the social pressures forced upon Miranda are evident as she is in a state of confusion as she is sleeping with a married man, she knows that morally she is doing the wrong thing although she stated that “without the wife there it didn’t seem so wrong”. Although feeling guilty, she “knew what it’s like to be lonely” when with Dev, Miranda felt a sense of belonging “he was the first to call her sexy” though her experience with Dev was exhilarating and full of lust, their relationship was mainly based on secrets and miscommunication; this leads to misapprehension as they are not allowing themselves to know each other on a personal level, as Dev, not wanting to complicate his life, as their relationship is only an affair to him. She gets a different field of emotions and due to miscommunication is left confused and left in the dark, alone, as she knows that she is being used, knowing their relationship has led to a dead end, much like Shoba and Shukumar in ‘A Temporary Matter’.…

    Ashima and Ashoke Ganguli, have an arranged marriage. An arranged marriage is one set up by either parents or grandparents, to benefit the families. Arranged marriages are to be performed usually out of necessity and not out of love, “in many societies throughout the world today, people marry out of obligation to parents, and family” (Murstein 1974, pg. 47). This can be seen as an Institutional marriage. Romantic love based on emotions was seen as risky and not practical (notes M/F), Ashima comes from an upper class Bengali family. We can assume this because of her knowledge in singing, music, and poetry. Ashima recites poetry by Robert Frost for Ashoke and his family. Ashima’s family believes that Ashoke is a suitable husband for their daughter and by marrying him she will have access to whole new world. Ashoke’s family is an upper middle class family. We can assume this by their wealth of knowledge as well as that their son is training in New York City for his PhD.…

    But besides all of this there were 2 other questions I didn’t have answers to, A. What was so special about a glass of Chai especially when she sold it at Rs 10? B. She set herself up at the same spot every night but not even the police ever bothered her, or so I had heard. The former was answered the minute I tasted her garam adrak ki chai, and the latter took a while to surface. Finally she spoke; “Police ke saath sambandh ache hain, aur aaj main jahaan hoon sirf unki dua se. Hum unki izzat karte hain, aur woh humari.” After her husband passed away 5 years back the police told her “Vidhwa ke aasoon poch, aur kaam kar” (Wipe these tears of a widowed and get back to work). And, thus started this relationship, which quite honestly is very surprising in today’s times.…

From there shukla led him to the house of a lawyer named rajendra prasad. Mahatma Gandhi's humble and simple attire made the servants mistook him as another poor peasant. He surveyed before taking any vital step in order to get those peasants justice. It was the time when british government punished those who in any condition gave shelter to national leaders or protesters. Gandhi's arrival and the nature of his mission spread like a wildfire. Many lawyers and peasant groups came in large numbers to support him. The lawyers accepted the fact that their charges were high and for a poor peasant it will be an irk. Gandhiji rebuked them for collecting big fee from the sharecroppers. He stressed on counseling as this would give the peasants enough confidence to fight their fear.…
