'' This Blessed House by Jhumpa Lahiri
This book of Jhumpa Lahiri is comprised by 9 diffirent and special stories which each of them treats diffirent themes but the one that seemed more interesting to me was "This Blessed House".It's a story whose main themes are love, marriage, dissatisfaction and communication.By all the stories, we understand the cultures and traditions of Hindu people which some of them is marriage.Indian people tend to get married by this regulated marriage without even knowing each other.Twinkle and Sanjev have known each other only for two months and they got married.But this isn't the only reason why they have some contradicts within their relationship.Twinkle is the opposite of the traditional woman an Indian guy wants to marry with.She is not the kind of a house-wife ,she doesn't know how to cook and stuff.But Twinkle is such a bright, cheerful, interesting, and curious girl while Sanjev is the opposite, he is quite calm, serious and monotonous. There is the clashing of two diffirent worlds and personalities.The title is related with the events of the new house the bought and started to live in.The previous renters were christians and the house is full of christian statues and pictures.Twinkle as a curious person finds these very interesting but Sanjev can't stand them as he is Hindu.Twinkle even collects them as an museum and tells all their guests at the party they organised in their home,how interesting and beautiful they were They start to argue also about this situation.But in the end Sanjev is wearing Christian relics and came to realising that it were these little things of stubborness and cuiosity that made him fall in love even more with Twinkle.The story is about a couple who seem they have a healthy life and marriage but even little things or diffirent peespectives can be obstacles to a happy relationship.
