This paper tries to study the human relationship and culture translation in Jhumpa Lahiri’s short story collection “Unaccustomed Earth”. It also studies the intricacies in family life and resentment. It also gives space to the way the culture translation shaped their lives. This study also focusses on the problems of immigration and how the expatriates accustomed in an alien land. Some of the characters fail to assimilate into the new culture. They fail somewhere and end up hopeless. This paper also analyses the lives of such characters. Longing has a special place in diasporic lives and the complex network of family relationship is also discussed in this short story collection. The family relationship in this immigrant live is quite different. Because of the impact of the host culture and the influence of home culture human relationship will lose its meaning. The sense of being ‘in between’ made the lives of the immigrants unpredictable. This short story collection focusses on the conflicting emotional experience of the characters as a result of migration. The plots develop through the assertion of transnational identity.
