I thought, the sentence " Diversity was greatly valued at the firm: you didn't have to go to Harvard or Stanford to join the company, you could be from Kellog or Wharton too." " was a GB Shaw kind of satire which is nicely executed. After all, they all mostly appear in the top 1-6 places in the rankings quite consistently. Still, the firm the characters were working for, was truly a top notch and a selective firm. That's what I gather from that part. I also think that Reema wanted to be with no other nationality then with a Nepali guy no matter where he was currently stationed (meaning the guy seems to be in the immediate time zones and most likely he could be somewhere in US or Canada ) as you can tell how fast he replied assuming the last sentence was not an mischievous auto-reply programmed on his blackberry as response to one of Reema's regular text messages and he was quite wide awake to cover that crucial ending of the story( or for them an auspicious new beginning). ;) (Just like Forrest Gump said " I am not a Smart man but I know what Love is". That's how I feel right now) Ahilelai tyati nai!
