This demonstrates an interesting aspect related to Chirta's life. She understands the hardships one may encounter when having to decide between two important aspects in life. Such as when Chirta made the decision to move to the United States. Throughout Divakaruni's work poetry has played a significant role. Her poetry show the experiences and struggles that women encounter while trying to find their own identities.
Women feel tug of two cultures.
