Daily Dialogue — April 26, 2010

Gogol Ganguli: [after being told the origin of his name] Baba, is that what you think of when you think of me? Do I remind you of that night?
Ashoke Ganguli: Not at all. You remind me of everything that followed. Everyday since then has been a gift… Gogol.

 — Gogol Ganguli (Kal Penn) and Ashoke Ganguli (Irrfan Khan), The Namesake (2006), screenplay by Sooni Taraporevala, based on a novel by Jhumpa Lahiri.

The Daily Dialogue theme this week is poignant father-son exchanges, suggested by JD Walters, who also suggested The Namesake.
