The correct answer is “poking gentle fun at herself for integrating into American culture of vehicles and television”. Bharati Mukherjee was an Indian writer whose works were focused on the topic of migration. Mukherjee left her country in 1947 and then became an immigrant in the United States. In the book “The Writer and Her Work” by Janet Sternburg (1980), Mukherjee published an essay called “A 400-Year-Old Woman” about her experience as an immigrant writer. Within that essay, one can find the excerpt presented above. The implicit meaning in the satire in this passage is that she laughs at herself, since she tries integrating herself into the American culture and its vehicles and television. Mukherjee explains that she could not ride a public bus when she first arrived at the United States, and now she perceives the buses as tractors pulling on obscure cable channels (a different point of view). In fact, in the following line Mukherjee says that part of her Indian culture remains in her mind. This explains why Mukherjee has a different point of view on American culture, yet she integrates into it.

The implicit meaning in the satire is that she's poking gentle fun at herself for integrating into American culture of vehicles and television
