About Me
- Daniel Freeman
- trying to figure out most of what there is to know about most things.
He doesn't really relate to them because he wasn't a part of the big companies. Raman feels like he was less worthy than the other men because his company was Indian. However, since he got the promotion, the men treated him like they were close for years. Unlike Bina, he was the one that wanted to be a part of the crowd; he wanted to be one of those "circles". The party was the time where he was able to do what he finally wanted to do before he left.
ReplyDeleteIt isn’t that he works for an Indian company but that he was placed in one of the lower ranks of the companies’ hierarchy. But like Gwen said he felt like an outcast among the company executives. But until he started to regret placing himself amongst the waiters, he didn’t have any interest of interacting with any of his guests, “There was no one in the party he liked well enough to share it(bottle of Remy Martin) with.”(1200) Raman just like his wife, felt like he didn’t fit in but both of them where surprised at the way every one was treating them at their farewell party. Even though some of the things they were saying were just out of a farewell kindness rather than the truth, “… clasped Raman about the shoulder as Polson’s Coffee or Brooke Bond Tea? __ clasped Raman about the shoulders as proper man do on meeting, and hearty voices rose together, congratulating him on his promotion (it wasn’t one, merely a transfer, and they knew it), envying him his move to the metropolis.”(1201)
