Point of View in Nobody's Business from Unaccustomed Earth

Nobody's Business is one of my favorite short stories in Unaccustomed Earth, and it initially stuck out to me because it is the only the story that is from the point of view of a non-bengali character. The story, overall, focuses primarily on Sang and her relationship with her boyfriend, Farouk (and his infidelity), though it also follows Paul's study process and eventual acquisition of his PhD. Because of the story being in 3rd person- limited only to Paul and his thoughts - the reader sees Sang in vivid detail- Paul often focuses on her appearance and her actions- due in part to his infatuation with her, this infatuation also makes Sang undoubtably the focus of the story. If the story of her relationship was narrated by herself, the reader would perceive a whole new side to the story- Paul would most likely be portrayed as a kind of creepy guy who she knew had a crush on her, and, later in the story, a very creepy guy who was willing to lie to get her to break up with Farouk- although ending up realizing he had good intentions form the start. The reader would also see more of the interior of Sang and Farouk's relationship- how the initial fights started, the extent of their intimacy, and the first confrontation Sang had with Farouk about  Deirdre. The reader also would not know exactly how Sang looked and how disconnected Sang became with other people after Farouk returned- Paul notes that Sang was "oblivious of Heather's disapproving expression" when Heather discovered that Sang was doing Farouks laundry for him- after already being shown to be basically Farouks personal assistant by proofreading articles, going grocery shopping for him, painting his rooms, and checking prices for home improvement goods when he thought about renovation. Sang became so wrapped up in her relationship she would not have noted how she became extremely devoted to helping Farouk - something that Paul immediately noticed. Because of this, I think Lahiri made a very interesting (and the right) choice of narration/perspective- although Paul has a muddled view of their relationship due to his jealousy, I think that his perspective paints a much more honest view of their unbalanced relationship when Sang would have been to love struck to note it.
