• While the servant is being evaluated for his driving; Ashok's brother, The Mongoose, states that he will be offered 1500 rupees for a month and 2000 rupees beyond 2 months. In U.S. $, that is approximately $37 (events based in 2007) with a 33.4% raise to $48

• Most of the main characters are labelled as animals that symbolise their nature. Such as Balram the white tiger (for being calculated and dangerous), Ashok the lamb (for being soft and pampered) Mukesh as the mongoose, and the landlord as the stork etc.
