We are given access only to Deepa's inner thoughts and that's why we can understand her confusions and the reasons why she feels so indecisive. In real life also we can only guess at people's innermost thougts.. what we are given are only their actions and words which may or may not reflect what is going on inside them. that's why i really loved the Calcutta section of the story where she meets Nishith. He may just be helping her without any motives or probably because he still loves her or may be it is because he feels remorse for what he did... we will never know. Only from his actions we can't decide and this is the source of deepa's dilemma also and what makes the story so elusive and intriguing. if the author would have played god and described the thoughts of every character it wouldn't have had the same effect. I am not saying that only stories written in first person are realistic, but you should appreciate the strengths of this kind of narration. <BR/><BR/>this problem of indecision is a major problem of life because you have to take decisions without feeling completely sure and also considering the future which is always so unpredictable. in traditional societies this was not a big problem because you just had to follow traditions and rules set by patriarchal authorities but once you are independent one has to take all these decisions without being ever sure. I think the story captures this idea extremely well.Alokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947383354732747209noreply@blogger.com
