Perfections and Imperfections
Throughout this piece, the readers see just how opposite Sanjeev and Twinkle are. Twinkle is care-free, laid back, and has an appreciation for things that are outside of her culture. Sanjeev, on the other hand, is more uptight, worried, and hates the Christian things that he if finding in the house. He says he mostly hates them because Twinkle likes them. This was the first clue that I found that he is somewhat jealous of Twinkle's ability to accept things that are different from what she knows. Later, we see him in the bathroom pulling his physical appearance apart. He can look and see what he thinks if perfection... the fact that she has the oppostie personality, she is seemingly comfortable in her skin, and comfortable with change. I think that if Sanjeev were able to get past his problem with her perfections then the chance of their marriage being succesful would go up immensly. Both need to learn to adapt to each other's differences and figure out how to live together with less jealousy.

I like the fact that you address this idea of imperfections. Many people seem to forget the fact that our imperfections are the things that make us human. No one is perfect, and striving to be perfect is an impossible goal to achieve. What we, as humans, need to learn is that accepting the things we seem to see as imperfections or faults are the things that make us unique and different from one another ~ in fact, they are not imperfections at all. Sanjeev and Twinkle need to learn to communicate and accept the differences that exist between them in order for them to have a successful marriage.
