Sanjeev's Displacement

While I was reading "This Blessed House" it occurred to me that Sanjeev is displaced in his own world and even in his own home.

Sanjeev is a graduate of MIT with a degree in engineering. He likes to be organized. For example, he "pinched [the ashes] between his fingers, and deposited them in his cupped palm" (pg. 140). Sanjeev also likes to listen to Bach and Mahler, whom Twinkle despises.
Sanjeev does not like all of the Christian paraphernalia in his home. He does not know what to make of them. At one point he even states, referring to the statue of Mary, "For now I am going to put it in the garage. Then tomorrow morning on my way to work I am going to take it to the dump" (pg. 148). Twinkle, on the other hand admires these objects, which makes Sanjeev feel uncomfortable. At the end of the story he says, " Most of all [I] hated it because [I] knew that Twinkle loved it" referring to the silver bust of Christ that was found (pg. 157). Sanjeev finds it difficult to accept something for himself, even if he does not believe in it.

Also, Sanjeev feels uneasy about his marriage. He does not know if he loves Twinkle or if she even loves him, as stated on page 147. I think the whole process of marriage seemed ideal for Sanjeev while he was single. Now, however, he has to live with Twinkle, and he finds it difficult to adjust, especially because Twinkle gets along easily with everyone, unlike Sanjeev.
