Pirzada is from East Pakistan and Lilia’s family is from India where both cultures are fighting on the other side of the world while these two cultures are able to have peace in America. The theme is the overall message of the story and the overall message in this story is that in America cultural differences can be put aside, and people can come together without fighting over issues that are going on the other side of the world. Lahiri writes, “He seemed concerned that Mr. Pirzada might take offense if I accidentally referred to him as an Indian, though I could not really imagine Mr. Pirzada being offended by much of anything. ‘Mr. Pirzada is Bengali, but he is a Muslim’… ‘Therefore he lives in East Pakistan, not India’ (Lahiri 26). This shows readers that Mr. Pirzada and Lilia’s family are opposites because Mr. Pirzada is a Muslim, which Lilia’s family is not. These were the two cultures at war on the other side of the world. Lilia’s father didn’t want Lilia to accidently refer Mr. Pirzada as an Indian because he was afraid that he might take offense. This is because Mr. Pirzada is not an Indian, he is a Muslim. Mr. Pirzada is Bengali because East Pakistan
The author of the story was born in 1967 in London, and soon after she moved to Rhode Island in the United States. Although Lahiri was born in England and raised in the United States and her parent’s still carried an Indian cultural background and held their believes, as her father and mother were a librarian and teacher.

Lahiri always interactive with her parents in Bengali every time which shows she respected her parents and culture.

There were several new concepts that were introduced to me this semester including the topic of genre. I found out that it was more than a classificatory tool. According to Bawarshi and Reiff, genre has changed into “a shaper of texts, meanings, and social actions”. In other words, genres are used to change and influence social interactions and to produce meaning-
At home in Nepal, Ama was Lakshmi’s role model, and even though she wasn’t able to provide Lakshmi with the luxuries that their neighbors had, “her slender back, which bears all troubles- and all hope- was still the most beautiful” to Lakshmi (McCormick 7). Even though she was not dynamic, I fell in love with how she inspired Lakshmi through her trials and her representation of the strong, hard-working women in Nepali culture. There were also a few other static characters, most of which I did not like at all. Her stepfather, Auntie Bimla, Uncle Husband and Auntie Mumtaz were the figures of authority that Lakshmi associated with her tortured existence in India, but in the midst of the hardship, there were characters that provided just as much light to Lakshmi’s life as there was darkness. For example, the young tea vendor lifted Lakshmi’s spirits with his polite gestures of free tea when she couldn’t afford it, as well as keeping her on the right path when Lakshmi was tempted to buy alcohol to soothe her misery (McCormick 224). Along with Lakshmi’s friend Shahanna, he too was taken away and I was convinced of Lakshmi’s impending doom even more than she herself probably was. All seemed dark until the second American came with his “digital magic”. By using his camera to show her pictures of rescued girls, this brave man was able to convince Lakshmi

Garg in ‘Hari Bindi’ discusses the story of a common woman and made it extraordinary by the active force she was experiencing in herself to live her life. The husband of the protagonist symbolises the power and control of patriarchy that had restricted her life in such a way that she was far from experiencing her freedom at the least level. Big things are no doubt powerful and able to control small things, yet small things are no less important. The overall personality of a person is the result of various small things being joined together.
