    Communication is one of the most important things to us keep connected to other people. If we fail to communicate with others, we will fail in many ways such as failure in romance. In the book Interpreter of Maladies with the tittle “Interpreter of Maladies” by Jhumpa Lahiri, the difficulty of communication becomes one of the problems. Mr. Kapasi feels lonely in his life and in his marriage because he lost his ability to communicate with his wife. However, Mrs. Das is a selfish woman that always hides behind her sunglasses most of the time. She doesn’t care about her family, her husband and her children.

    We Indians boast about unity in diversity as we have many varieties of religions, castes and communities but do we really appreciate and embrace this difference? The answer is a big no. We, in our school textbooks, read about this and discuss this very briefly but what we fail to do is to analyse the present situation. Today I saw a documentary on honor killings. Honor killings are done under the name of protecting the caste name.…

    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.…

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.…
