All Three stories

I suppose here I'll try to find an underlying thread between the three stories. It's likely that I'll simply end up trying way too hard and going far beyond the cone of meaning, but hey, that's what blogs are for, amiright?

I think the three stories are all really about seeking to improve ones life. In How I met my Husband, at the end of the story, we see that Edie decides that she cannot simply go through life waiting for Chris Watters to come back. She decides to simply quit passively breezing through life and takes and active stance in her happiness. She picks a new fella, and she improves her position in life. Mr. Kapasi also tries to fix his fairly unfulfilling life. His wife is indifferent towards him and he feels unappreciated at his job as an interpreter. Therefore, he takes an active choice to improve his life by seeking a relationship with the lovely Mrs. Das. Now he seems to sway between a relationship as pen pals and one of potential lovers, but either way, he hopes that this connection with another person will make him happier and improve his life. And the lovely Miss Emily also seeks to fix her issues in life, although in my humble opinion, her methods of improving her life are just bizarre. Her father constantly drove various male suitors away, so naturally she seeks to remedy this situation by finding a man and never ever letting him leave. ever. She killed him, is basically what I'm saying. But hey, it made her feel better, which I would certainly classify as seeking to improve one's life. I don't exactly agree with it, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

These are limes. They float in water, and thus serve as my particular boat's flotation and buoyancy system. I am trying way too hard.
