The Namesake Page #3
I feel like I've given
birth to strangers.
Just because you are graduating does
not mean you can behave like this, Gogol.
So, I am two inches away from her.
Her luscious lips part.
And just as I am about to kiss her,
she looks at me and she says,
"What's your name?"
Gogol Ganguly. End of seduction 101!
Jane loves your name. Gogol Gangu Lolly!
Don't you even go there, man.
Of all the freaking Russian
writers in the universe,
why'd they have to go
and choose the weirdest?
What the hell is wrong
with Leo or Antwerp?
You know, I just want
to sit them down and be like,
Gogol is your favorite
author, don't mind...
- ... sh*t!
- What?
I have to think! Oh sh*t!
Good bye, Air India!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
They have been here for two hours!
- This is our son, Gogol.
- Sorry I'm late.
Mr. and Mrs. Majunda. They just
moved in to New York from London.
They are of the same age also.
Oh I am sure.
Hi.
Hi.
What're you reading?
Mo Jou Priestess.
In French.
You want to go watch some TV?
Gogol, come here.
Come, my boy, eat something. Eat
Why are your eyes so red?
Ashima, give me some chilies.
Mosi, I promise you there are no
evil eyes in the Unites States of America.
That is what you think.
You be careful where you are going.
- What is the name?
- Hale.
There'll be plenty of girls in this
Hale place who would want to trap you.
Have as much fun as you want.
But... marry a Bengali!
- How do you feel now?
- Yeah, I am good.
- Thank you.
- Good.
Listen.
I have never given any presents
apart from what your mother buys but
for your graduation I
have something special.
Thanks, father.
I ordered this just for
you from the book store.
I hope you like it.
Very nice.
You know, I feel a
special kinship with Gogol
more than with any other writer.
You know why?
Yes. Gogol is your favorite
author. I know, Baba.
No, apart from that.
He spent most of his adult
life outside his homeland.
- Like me.
- Right.
But...
there... there is another reason.
- Hello?
- Hmm?
What's the other reason?
No other reason.
Okay. Good night.
Good night, Baba.
We all came out of Gogol's Overcoat.
One day you will understand it.
Your attention please.
India Airlines announces the departure
of its flight IT-408 to Calcutta
Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of
the Indian Airlines and the captain,
we hope you enjoy your flight.
Take off the luggage.
- Gogol!
- Hi, Dadi Ma!
Take her size!
Go buy two pairs of slippers from Bata.
Please take your present.
For you, mother-in-law.
A sweet for a sweet.
What's wrong with you?
I want to go home!
I have something else
to cheer you up with.
