00:23:26 Sleep on it.
00:23:29 Baby Boy Ganguly?
00:23:43 What do you say?
00:23:45 We could call him Gogol.

00:26:40 Gogol.
00:26:43 Where are you?
00:26:46 Hey Gugli!

00:26:58 Is he going to be Gogol in school?
00:27:00 No. We have decided on a good name.
00:27:03 Finally! What is it?

00:30:05 I had already celebrated
00:30:08 This is America, Ma.
00:30:10 We'll have twins when we are sixty.

00:30:50 Hey! Ma!
00:30:54 You don't have time for
00:30:59 - This is the least we can do.

00:31:47 - Single malt please.
00:31:51 - I've never done this before.
00:31:55 Coming out on a blind
00:31:58 It's not a blind date exactly.
00:32:01 We sort of know each other in a way.
00:32:05 I don't remember ever
00:32:10 Actually, neither do I.
00:32:14 Does your family still live in
00:32:19 I remember the kitchen.
00:32:21 I just liked those cupboards.
00:32:25 Yeah. Those are still there.
00:32:36 I am sorry to hear about your father.
00:32:39 How is your mother getting along?
00:32:42 She's alright. Sonia's
00:32:51 So why'd you leave Paris for New York
00:32:53 when you'd rather study French
00:32:55 I moved here for love.
00:32:58 Surely you know about
00:33:01 Not really.
00:33:03 Why would you want to?
00:33:04 The other Bengali on
00:33:10 So... um...
00:33:13 we make our mothers happy
00:33:16 May be.
00:33:18 Give me a call.
00:33:37 I know why he went to Cleveland.
00:33:43 He was teaching me how to live alone.
00:34:06 Of course my mother is old and
00:34:11 She always come out here?
00:34:12 She called today.
00:34:26 - Are you alright?
00:34:29 Yeah. Could you please help me?
00:34:31 My glasses, take them off.
00:34:58 - Did I really say that?
00:35:02 No one even talked to me back then.
00:35:04 I tried, but you used to treat
00:35:10 How'd you get so sexy?
00:35:14 Affairs.
00:35:15 Paris?
00:35:19 I convinced myself I
00:35:25 I began to have affairs.
00:35:28 How many?
00:35:35 - What do you want?
00:35:41 You don't want to know.
00:35:52 You don't understand. Without fire,
00:35:56 I am sorry sir. I cannot allow you to
00:36:40 I wandered lonely as a cloud
00:36:44 that floats on high on waves and hills.
00:36:48 When all at once I saw a crowd
00:36:51 a host of golden daffodils.
00:38:58 A hundred and one for the
00:39:02 That brings the total...
00:39:05 - to seven thousand thirty five.
00:39:08 I say we made a killing, Mrs. Ganguly!
00:39:12 Hold it, hold it. We'll
00:39:21 We've already discussed this.
00:39:24 Yeah. But I thought,
00:39:27 Do you know how many letters that is?
00:39:43 Come on, Nikhel.
00:39:47 Has somebody asked you
00:39:52 I already have, remember?
00:40:10 We promised.
00:40:10 No, no, no. We didn't
00:40:24 So, what do you think of Preska?
00:40:27 Preska? What?
00:40:29 It's a family name!
00:40:30 What does it mean? I am
00:40:37 It has much meaning.
00:40:42 Stop worrying! If he
00:40:45 - we can always change it!
00:40:48 It's my grandmother's.
00:40:53 What do you mean changed the name?
00:40:54 Nikhel, it isn't the
00:40:57 What name were you born with?
00:41:01 Gogol.
00:41:05 - As in the opera club?
00:41:08 I get it! Nicholai Gogol.
00:41:12 What's that?
00:41:13 What made your parents choose that name?
00:41:17 My father was his fan.
00:41:45 What I told you about
00:41:49 Who cares?
00:41:51 It's not just some joke or conversation
00:41:53 that you just bring it up
00:41:55 These people happen to be my friends!
00:41:59 No I haven't lied before
00:42:34 You know I can't read French.
00:42:44 all right. Can do that.
00:42:48 I'm going to be a
00:42:50 Make samosas every
00:43:02 It's so hard to know
00:43:06 I was looking at this
00:43:10 and he says when you feel lost,
00:43:13 you should close your eyes and
00:43:17 Not thrilled. Just deeply happy.
00:43:22 It's called following your bliss.
00:43:26 You want to try it?
00:43:34 well?
00:43:38 Ashima, you all right?
00:43:44 I've been thinking of leaving.
00:43:48 Is that very selfish of me?
00:43:53 You know, I thought now that the
00:44:26 One day...
00:44:28 I hope you will turn to this book...
00:44:31 and remember.
00:44:34 Your Pierre.
00:44:49 You don't know how happy I am that both
00:44:52 my children have found
00:44:56 You don't mind if Ben is not Indian?
00:45:00 Times have changed.
00:45:02 Now I don't mind.
00:45:04 He's a very good boy, you know.
00:45:06 And he makes Sonia very happy.
00:45:09 Keep following our bliss.
00:45:12 You have been reading Joseph Campbell!
00:45:25 It's you!
00:45:28 Frying samosas with
00:45:30 And you?
00:45:33 See you later.
00:45:35 Kisses.
00:45:45 I have something to say.
00:45:48 Gogol, I did not want
00:45:51 I have decided to sell the house.
00:45:54 I am going to do what your
00:45:58 Six months in India...
00:46:00 and six months here, with all of you
00:46:02 And then I can go and start
00:46:06 That is if any guru wants
00:46:11 I want to live free.
00:46:14 - Like my name.
00:46:16 Ashima means without borders.
00:46:19 Limitless.
00:46:35 Hello?
00:46:38 Hey Ma. What's up?
00:46:39 Gogol, there is a buyer for the house.
00:46:42 Are they meeting your price?
00:46:44 - Yes.
00:46:46 I have told them they would have
00:46:50 - Both of you are coming, aren't you?
00:46:52 This will be the last
00:46:55 I know.
00:47:17 They are renting a house
00:47:21 - And I told them we might join in.
00:47:45 You're having an affair?
00:47:51 Are you?
00:47:57 Who is he?
00:48:01 Someone I have known a long time.
00:48:03 Why?
00:48:09 I saw myself becoming my
00:48:19 May be it's not enough
00:48:28 That's not why I loved you.
00:48:50 So when are you giving us the good news?
00:49:00 We are your family also.
00:49:03 Screw it. I am never going to
00:49:05 Sorry man. You don't have to. Just
00:50:35 We all came out of Gogol's "Overcoat".
00:50:41 One day you will understand me.
00:50:56 - Hi Gugli.
00:51:07 Everything is okay?
00:51:09 I mean between your wife and you.
00:51:19 Mom, she found someone else.
00:51:26 It's her boyfriend. A
00:51:33 For once, somebody else's name
00:51:40 It is all my fault.
00:51:44 - I am sorry, Gogol.
00:51:48 Ma, it has nothing to do with you.
00:51:52 Different people live
00:51:56 I will not go back to India now.
00:51:58 I cannot go.
00:52:00 You will have to go.
00:52:02 Listen to me.
00:52:05 I know I am supposed to be devastated.
00:52:10 I know it's going to
00:52:12 first time in my life
00:52:18 Look.
00:52:21 Look what I found.
00:52:24 It's Papa's graduation
00:52:29 For Gogol Ganguly...
00:52:32 For the man who gave you his name,
00:52:34 from the man who gave you your name.
00:52:40 How did you find it?
00:53:00 Don't go so far that I cannot see you!
00:53:03 He's too little!
00:53:09 Are you listening?
00:53:26 Oh boy! The camera! It is in the car.
00:53:38 all this and no picture!
00:53:46 We'll just have to remember it then.
00:53:50 will you remember this day, Gogol?
00:53:57 Yes, remember it always.
00:54:00 Remember that you and
00:54:22 25 years, I missed my life in India.
00:54:28 And now, I will miss my life here.
00:54:32 And all of you, who became my family.
00:54:39 I will miss living with my daughter
00:54:43 and the surprise of friendship is found.
00:54:48 I will miss phoning my son
00:54:50 all times of day or night.
00:54:55 Nevertheless, this country...
00:54:59 in which I had grown to
00:55:05 and though his ashes are
00:55:11 it is here in this house, in this town,
00:55:16 amongst all of you, that he will
00:55:30 Cheers!
00:55:37 Thank you.
00:55:40 After several minutes blushing all over,
00:55:42 he began reassuring them
00:55:45 it was not any overcoat at all.
00:55:51 Finally one of the clerks,
00:55:53 shrieked and said,
00:55:55 "So be it. I'll throw a party instead".
00:55:59 Pack a pillow and blanket.
00:56:02 Go!
00:56:03 See the world.
