1. When Pi is forced onto the boat, the Cook is on it - - the human story sees the cook in it (only realized it on my second viewing)

2. "You must be thirsty" says the priest (this was pointed out here I think) - - interestingly the name of the tiger was originally supposed to be Thirsty. Could it be that there was no paperwork and that Richard Parker was actually Father Richard Parker the priest at the church?

3. When Pi first catches the glowing fish, he says "Thank you Lord Vishnu, for giving me this fish etc." - - young Pi said "Thank you Lord Vishnu, for introducing me to Christ", interestingly Christ is represented by a fish symbol



4. Pi said he remembers everything the day he broke his love with Anandi except saying goodbye - - this is exact feeling that Pi had when Richard Parker left without a goodbye

5. The island looked like Lord Vishnu when shown from a distance - - young Pi was thanking Lord Vishnu (laid down statue) and the shape of it was exactly like the island, it was unmistakably the same! 

6. When Pi looked into Richard Parker's eye, he saw the universe - - this is same implied notion when young Pi was reading about Lord Krishna and the camera zooms into the eyes and he sees the universe

7. It's interesting that at the end, Pi actually tells the writer "I've told you two stories, neither of which can be proven" or something along this line. If Pi really had been with the animals, he wouldn't have given a choice to the writer to choose from but then again, Pi gave him a choice just like anyone would have a choice to believe in God or not.
