"that Twinkle, shes something..."

I think it was very interesting when the author talks about Sanjeev loving Twinkle. In this passage he says he does not know if he loves her or not, and that hes not even sure what love is. But he says he knows that love is not watching other people with their girlfriends, or ordering classical cds online, his mother constantly reminding him that he "had enough money in the bank to raise three families." This was really interesting because throughout the story Sanjeev is talking about how expensive things can be, when Twinkles on the phone with her girlfriend from California he gets upset because its at 5oclock "when the rates are the highest". Sanjeev is the oposite of Twinkle, shes laid back and doesn't let anything bother her. Whereas, Sanjeev gets irritated at the smallest things. When Twinkle finally gets upset its because of the Statue of Mary in the front yard. She doesn't seem to mind that its a Christian Statue she just keeps saying how beautiful it is. Sanjeev doesn't want people to see it so he yells, and Twinkle crys. He had never seen her cry before. You start to wonder if their love for each other is young or non existant, he clearly wants to be happy and have a wife and raise a family, but Twinkle may want different things. She asks him if he loves her and doesn't say so herself!
