The Namesake Page #4

Here.

The calendar says that there

are only... 89 days left to go.

What is wrong with you? What

are you? Hot or hot here?

- Have some ancient air conditioning.

- Go away!

You are going out?

Jogging!

- Jogging?

- Running. On the street.

I'm training.

- Training?

- Yes.

Don't worry, Dadi Ma. I won't go far.

Quick. follow the young master.

He's gone running on the

streets. Keep an eye on him!

Can you do that?

I can do anything. I know English.

Why have you been following me?

There is something I always

wanted to ask you but...

never had the courage.

all these years ago, why did you...

say yes to me?

You were the best of the lot.

At that time, the

widower with 4 children

and then compromise with one.

I also liked your shoes.

Oh, okay.

You want me to say... I love you?

Like the America?

Yes.

Yes.

I am soaking, Sonia. You actually

look better than after I shoot you.

Shut up!

Why don't you get in, my American

sahib? Sonia can sit on my lap.

Being pulled by another human

being is for feudal lords.

I don't want to be part

of anything like that.

Ma!

Get ready, we are going tomorrow.

We have gone to the

Garden a hundred times.

To Agra, to see the Taj Mahal.

Are you serious? You're not kidding?

- That's awesome, Ma!

- Oh good!

It's a wonder of the world.

We should have had taken a plane.

Don't worry. Everything is fine.

What is fine?

I've always wanted

to come here with you.

Just imagine how much Shah

Jahan must have loved Mumtaz.

To make this for her.

Other husbands also

love their wives, Ashima.

Only we cannot afford

to build Taj Mahal.

Hey, guess what.

I really want to major in architecture.

What about engineering?

Come on, Baba.

Architecture has everything.

It's got engineering,

drawing, aesthetics.

Our family Shah Jahan!

Let's go, Sonia.

Look!

Gangrene!

What the...!

I am going to catch the

racist punk who did that!

So, I have been thinking

a lot about my name.

Gogol's fine. I might

have got used to it.

But too much of Gogol in a resume

or credit card after that!

What are you trying to say?

I'd like to change my

name back to my good name.

What is done is done. Now

Gogol has become your good name.

It's too complicated

now. You're too old.

Anyways, you have

only yourself to blame.

Oh yeah! My fault that

I was four years old?

That's right, Kaalu.

Everything is possible in America.

Do as you wish.

I'm home.

Hi dear. How're you doing?

coming. This means so much to me.

Drinks! To celebrate!

Hi.
