In the chapter 9 of the novel
“The Nameske” by Jumpha Lijary , Gogol asked Moushumi to marry him on her
birthday and gave her the hat that he bought for her in their second date into
the hat was the ring. They were married
in Bengali ceremony and received as wedding gift the amount of $7035 form their
families and friends. Moushumi decided to hold her maiden name although that
Gogol hoped that she changed it. In March, Gogol accompanies Moushumi to a
conference in Paris while she prepared the paper for her conference was
sightseeing. They started to spend time with Astri and Donald, who are
Mushumi’s friend, but Gogol didn’t feel happy in that time because he always
was silent. In one occasion, they was discussing about babies name because
Astrid was pregnant, and she was looking for a beautiful name for her baby. Mushumi told everyone how Gogol had changed
his name. Consequently, Gogol was irritated because he didn’t want that people
know about that.
Personal Response
The novel “The Namesake” by Jhumpa Lahiri,
Moshume and Gogol married in Bengali traditional ceremony as their
parents. I think that their previous
relationships teaching them that it is difficult to change of costumes. Although
they don’t born in Calcutta, they have a strong connection with this culture
because they grew up in.
