confused gender roles?

I was particularly interested in the view of power and gender roles in this short story. It is evident that Sanjeev is the prominent breadwinner between the two because of his frequent references to his high profile job. However I found that Sanjeev harbored a lot of resentment towards Twinkle for being so carefree and independent. As Hindus they were most likely brought up by parents who kept with traditional values. Their arranged marriage is a direct result of their traditional values. Sanjeev was most likely looking for a wife who also contained conservative and traditional values. However Twinkle was none of these and her outgoing personality caused him much distress.

I thought it was interesting how Sanjeev was frequently found cleaning and cooking. He picks up after Twinkle as if he is her mother. He is irritated by her smoking, dancing, and carefree attitude. In comparison to the other short stories I find it interesting that he (THE MAN) seems to be the individual with a lack of power within the relationship. She will not allow him to control her and she recognizes her ability to refuse to do specific duties characteristic of the housewife. He is an introvert whereas Twinkle is the extrovert. She exudes confidence and personality which gives the reader the impression that she may hold more weight within their relationship.
