I know this is a bit late, however hopefully it helps someone.
1) Why didn't Bhima or her husband try to find one another sooner-especially with their son?
2) How does Bhima's past fit into her present?
3) Are Bhima's misfortunes her greatest treasures?
4) Are the secrets we carry a unifying element in our relationships?
5) Is holding onto grief the way we legitimize the things we have lost or broken?
6) Do all human beings keep secrets from one another?
7) Is it the special curse of women, to keep other people’s secrets and carry their shame?
8) What would happen, she wonders, if all of them — Parvati, Serabai, Sunitabai — simply put down their loads one day and refused to pick them up again?
9) What does it take to be a woman in our patriarchal society?
10) How can one punish the victim themselves just because they belong to a supposedly weaker gender?
11) Why do women become the first enemy of other women?
12) Why do we all walk around like this, hiding from one another?
13) If you could remove fear from your life, uproot it, who would you be?
14) Why is Bhima the one who has to make this final journey?
15) Is it reasonable that Amit welcomed her back with zero resentment and open arms after decades apart?
16) What did Gopal tell him about why they left?
17) Are Bhimi and Gopal able to forget the past?
18) Will Bhimi and Maya stay or go?
19) What does the future hold for Maya? Will she become a lawyer?
20) Does Maya stick with law or get her grandma out of the slums?
21) Because in a world where you increasingly have more foes than friends, who else is going to always be there?
22) If she has truly been brought so low that she has to second-guess the simple act of sharing a fruit with a woman even more destitute than she, then why not relinquish all claims to human society?
23) Does Dinaz (Sera's daughter) ever find out about her vile husband?
24) Do Maya and Rajeev's son date or get married?
25) Do they go back to Mumbai or leave everything for rural life with newfound family?
