In the book, it talks about Margaret and Chacko's first encounter. I really liked how it sort of showed a comparison between the young Chacko and the old Chacko. He told Margaret the joke with so much vigor and laughter. You can tell that he has always been humorous. But you can also tell that through time, and a divorce, Chacko had become more reserved. Also, I think that when he came back to India, he thought he was top notch because he had studied at Oxford. I think that when he was in England he had a smaller ego, and took himself a lot less seriously.
