Mr and Mrs Das always argued because of the lack of communication, which happens to a lot of couples. The Das family seemed like a pretty normal and happy family (from an outsider’s perspective) but they were far from that. When Mr.Kapasi went to his job of being a tourist taxi driver in India, he didn’t think that he would be going on an emotional roller coaster all because of a woman he barely knew. This is why Mr.Kapasi is silent when the paper is flying away because he knew that keeping in contact with a woman like her wouldn’t be ideal. Das wasn’t the perfect woman that he thought she was, that his whole idea of her being the one for him was very unrealistic. The picture of the Das family that will forever be in Mr.Kapasi’s mind is that when the paper with the address flies away at the end of the story, Mr.Kapasi finally realizes that Mrs. “Interpreter of Maladies” is a collection of stories about having an opinion or view that is incorrect because of thinking or understanding something that isn’t true. That’s the mistake Mr.Kapasi ended up making in the story “Interpreter of Maladies” by Jhumpa Lahiri. Most of the time, people like to imagine being with someone who thinks is good for them, but it’s the exact opposite. We as humans often like to fantasize about having a more glamorous life than what we actually have.
