Interpreter of Maladies
by Jhumpa Lahiri
Mrs. Das seems sad and unhappy, which makes Mr. Kapasi want to help her feel better.

story ends with Mr. Kapasi feeling disconnected from the world and alone.
Mrs. Das had revealed a deep secret to Mr. Kapasi, which made him feel closer to her,
but
she later dismissed their connection and returned to her family as if nothing had happened.
Mr. Kapasi realizes that his infatuation with Mrs. Das was misguided and that they come from two different worlds.
she's rich she's American
he's not rich & hes indian
for her , Mr. kapasi was just a place for her to dump a secret
she sees their encounter as a mere tourist experience and does not take it seriously.
Mrs. Das dismisses their exchange

dismissive attitude makes Mr. Kapasi realize
he was just a trash can for her secret
in the end tho he feels abandoned & is even more disillusioned and disconnected from his own life.
