The protagonist experiences a profound disconnection between his old life in Tollygunge and his new surroundings. While he has physically moved away from Tollygunge, the emotional and psychological ties to his past remain complex and strained. The stark contrast between the two environments leaves him feeling isolated, as if there is no bridge connecting his previous existence to the present reality he faces.

In this new place, life unfolds differently, offering him a respite from the chaos and urgency that once defined his world. This change signifies an opportunity for reflection and understanding, allowing him to navigate his identity in a slower, more contemplative manner. The absence of constant pressure allows for a new sense of peace, where he can begin to reconcile the different aspects of his life.
